Former Bundesliga Star Makes Claim On Chelsea Interest In Thomas Tuchel

Former Bundesliga star Jan Aage Fjortoft has claimed that Chelsea view Thomas Tuchel as the best man to bring in if they have to replace Frank Lampard in the middle of the season.

The questions over Lampard’s future intensified on Tuesday night after Chelsea lost 2-0 at Leicester and continued their horror run of form in recent weeks.

Chelsea have won just two of their last eight Premier League games and have dropped down to eighth in the league table with all the early season positivity disappearing in the matter of a month.
