Soccer-Tuchel excited by Saul signing, says midfielder was Chelsea target for years
Manager Thomas Tuchel said on Friday that Chelsea had been eyeing Saul Niguez for many years and seized the chance to bring him in on loan, as the Premier League team needed to bolster its midfield. Reports suggest that the London club has an option to purchase the 26-year-old for 40 million euros ($47.29 million) as part of the agreement. Tuchel commented, “I was worried going into the season with only Jorginho, Mateo (Kovacic) and N’Golo (Kante). Not because of a lack of quality or character… but things are unpredictable.”0
