Thomas Tuchel
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel is a huge admirer of Blues target Eduardo Camavinga. Camavinga, 18, has one year left on his contract at Rennes and this has prompted many of Europe’s elite clubs to take notice of the French star ahead of a potential move. Speaking in September 2020,
Thomas Tuchel said: “Would I like to have him on my team? Yes, of course. But I can’t talk about other players, who are not from my team. He’s one of the best players in Ligue 1. He’s a great player, very strong, with a great future. But he also plays in a great team which plays in the Champions League. But that’s not how it goes, it’s not Monopoly! I’m not going to say not to recruit him, but that’s not how it goes.”
Camavinga featured 39 times for Rennes in all competitions last season, and at only 18 years of age he has the potential to become one of the best midfielders in the world. In the 2019/20 season as per FBref.com, the French midfielder recorded the most tackles in the league (98) for his club compared to any other player.
