That is according to SportBild, who claim one of the three players will join Chelsea in the summer.

It is suggested that Tuchel, 47, will be backed by Roman Abramovich during the transfer window.

The club owner is prepared to trust Tuchel’s judgement despite Lampard’s spending spree last summer.

Lampard splashed a whopping £228.7million in a desperate attempt to strengthen his squad.

But the club legend was sacked last month as his star-studded line-up failed to get results.

Here we take a look at the three players that Tuchel has added to his summer shopping list so far.

Dayot Upamecano – RB Leipzig

Chelsea have been long-term admirers of the 22-year-old defender from RB Leipzig.

He will be available in the summer for £38million due to a release clause in his contract.

Upamecano’s agent confirmed that two Premier League clubs were interested in him.

And Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who also wants to sign him, identified them as Chelsea and Liverpool.

Bayern Munich centre-half Sule, 25, has emerged as another option for Tuchel.

The 6ft 5in defender has been with the German giants since he joined from Hoffenheim in 2017.

But the 29-cap Germany international reportedly ‘dreams’ of playing for Manchester United.

According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, he has set his sights on a future move to Old Trafford.

Bayern Munich president Karl-Heinz Rummenigges has admitted Alaba is ‘99.9 per cent’ likely to leave the Allianz Arena.

He is out of contract this summer and has so far rejected the chance to extend his deal.

Reports claimed Real Madrid had all-but sealed a deal to sign the 28-year-old.

But Chelsea are still in with a chance as he is still yet to agree a move to the Bernabeu.
