Good morning Chelsea fans
Chelsea have secured third spot in the Premier League after a 1-1 draw with Leicester City.

And the Blues’ stalemate with the Foxes means that even if fourth placed Tottenham draw level on points this Sunday with Chelsea, the West Londoners’ greater goal difference of 18 will be enough to earn them a spot behind Liverpool and Man City.

The German has told new Blues owner Todd Boehly of his plan, according to the Evening Standard.
And the report states that Tuchel wants the financial backing from Boehly to get his vision in motion.
Chelsea star N’Golo Kante has cast fresh doubt on his future at the club.
Speaking to Sky Sports, the French midfielder has brushed off talk of his long-term future.
“He said: “The only thing that is sure is that I have one more year on my contract. It’s not really my concern.
“The only thing [on my mind] is to finish the season well.
“I’ll think about it at the right time but I just want to finish the season as best as possible.”
Inter Milan won’t be able to buy Romelu Lukaku on a permanent basis.

“It depends on Chelsea and Tuchel. Lukaku doesn’t want to stay with this coach.”
But the reporter insists the loan deal can happen as Lukaku is desperate for a return to Inter.
