Thomas Tuchel will be handed a £200m transfer budget this summer after steering Chelsea to Champions League success, according to reports.

Tuchel was appointed as Frank Lampard’s replacement in January and did a magnificent job in his first half-season at the helm.

According to the Metro, Tuchel will be given up to £200m to spend on new signings in the coming months.

Chelsea splashed the cash last summer, bringing in the likes of Timo Werner, Edouard Mendy, Kai Havertz and Ben Chilwell for a combined £226m.

And Roman Abramovich is once again willing to put his hand in his pocket following Tuchel’s terrific work to date.

"Two or three [new signings] could be very, very good,” Tuchel said. “It’s a constant thing to never deny change. 

"That you always bring new energy, new guys who question the old beliefs, who challenge everybody in the training and in matches, so I think it’s a good thing."
