Journalist: Thomas Tuchel likes Marquinhos, and sees Reece James as a centre back

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has been weighing up plans for a new season as he gets set to begin pre-season training tomorrow for those players not involved in the Euros this summer.

The German boss has a number of decisions to make on some long and short terms futures of his current crop, and which positions he wants to add strength in this summer.

One of those areas could be at the back, and according to John Cross of The Daily Mirror, Marquinhos from PSG is a player that he likes for this position.

Another position they may look to add to is the wide right area, with their public pursuit of Achraf Hakimi recently. He now looks set to join PSG, but according to Cross Tuchel wants ‘someone better on the ball out wide.’
