PETE JENSON: Thomas Tuchel will believe he can get the best out of Ousmane Dembele, but injuries and questions over his attitude tarnished his time at Barcelona... so, with PSG pulling out of the race, is he worth the risk for Chelsea?

Chelsea will be getting LaLiga's top assist provider if they sign France winger Ousmane Dembele this summer, and coach Thomas Tuchel will be reunited with a player he got the best out of in their brief time working together.

Dortmund were a thing to behold in the 2016 season with Dembele and current Chelsea forward Christian Pulisic both outstanding, managing nine goals between them and helping Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to 31 goals as Bundesliga top scorer.

Tuchel left the club that summer and Dembele followed suit, later saying that Tuchel had been his favourite coach and that he would never have left had the manager stayed.
