Reports claim the German faces an uncertain future with Chelsea’s takeover by Todd Boehly yet to be rubberstamped.

But Blues fans are desperate for Tuchel to stay, with many feeling the tactician needs several transfer windows to build a squad in his own image.

Tuchel himself is eager to remain at the London club after taking to English football like a duck to water.

The 48-year-old previously won trophies at both Dortmund and PSG, two of Europe’s top sides.

But Tuchel admits he struggled to forge a real bond with supporters at either club.

And he is delighted to have made a real connection with Chelsea’s backers, despite their topsy-turvy season.

Tuchel beamed: “It’s so nice to have this bond with the fans. I was not famous for that in my last clubs. I don’t know why it’s suddenly like this, but I’m very happy about it.

“This game is a different game with fans, we always said it. It’s a different game.
