Chelsea have placed sacked PSG coach Thomas Tuchel on their long-term radar.

BILD says the 47-year-old German coach was fired by PSG last week, just four months after leading them to the final of the Champions League, with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino primed to replace him.

Tuchel has received a pay-off of £5.4million and would be free to take over at another club right away.

Chelsea could be that club if Frank Lampard cannot arrest their downturn in form that has seen three defeats in four Premier League matches.

Tuchel would be interested in the Chelsea job if the opportunity arose and would relish the opportunity to work with Germany internationals Timo Werner, Kai Havertz and Antonio Rudiger.
