The five players guaranteed a place in Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea team after summer transfer window


After Thomas Tuchel's appointment, Chelsea have become real contenders for a top-four finish in the Premier League. They are just one point behind Liverpool in fourth. Tuchel changed the formation of the Blues to a five-at-the-back model. And with Chelsea expected to strengthen again in the summer, there could be even more changed in the Blues' line-up. But five players are guaranteed a place in his Chelsea team. Thiago Silva is one of those players. He has made 21 appearances across all competitions and has been excellent. His contract runs out in the summer, but Chelsea have an option to extend by another year. Reece James has come to the fore this season as he has made 22 appearances across all competitions. The 21-year-old will likely be a starter next season. N'Golo Kante has struggled from injury in recent weeks, however, he remains a key player for Chelsea. He even received a huge praise from Tuchel. Mason Mount was actually left out for Tuchel's first game, but since then, he has clearly impressed his new head coach. Tuchel does want Mount to improve some aspects of his game. But it seems safe to say he will be on the team sheet come the start of next season. And the latest player is Kai Havertz, who has not got off to a particularly good start at Chelsea, managing five goals and six assists in 26 appearances across all competitions. Tuchel's appointment means he has to be seen as one of the most likely candidates to find himself on the teamsheet come the start of next season.
