Six players Chelsea may sign with £200m budget after Todd Boehly’s Thomas Tuchel ‘promise’ | Football | Sport

Jonathan Clauss

Clauss has been in superb form for Lens over the past couple of years, and is ready to make the step-up to the Champions League given the north-east outfit failed to finish in the qualification spots.

With Reece James being injured last season, Clauss – a known target – could offer some form of attacking reprieve in the event that James ends up on the injury table again – and he may only cost £10m.

Maxwel Cornet

Burnley star Cornet could offer cover to Ben Chilwell at left-wing-back, having played there for Lyon prior to his move to Lancashire.

The Ivorian is adept at playing on either flank and even had a spell up front for the Clarets before their relegation – and with a release clause of £17.5m, would be a cost-effective addition. There have been no links to the player however.
