Roman Abramovich is reportedly prepared to hand Chelsea head coach Thomas Tuchel a £150m transfer budget this summer.

While still having work to do in the race to finish in the top four of the Premier League standings, Tuchel has guided the Blues to the finals of the FA Cup and Champions League respectively.

Earlier this week, it was suggested that the Chelsea hierarchy are happy to hand the German an extension to his current 18-month deal.

According to The Sun, Abramovich will also give Tuchel the freedom to spend big during the next transfer window as the club look to challenge Manchester City and their rivals.

Given the uncertainty over the futures of Tammy Abraham and Olivier Giroud, Chelsea have been linked with Erling Braut Haaland and Romelu Lukaku.

There could also be a fresh face in midfield, a move which could potentially allow Billy Gilmour to spend a season on loan at another Premier League club. body check tags ::
