Speaking previously on the Gabon international, Tuchel joked: “I would be interested in the 79 goals (he scored under Tuchel previously), actually!
“We will not comment further.
“There are a lot of names out there, sometimes due to the fact we discuss a lot of names but also sometimes pure speculation. We will not get involved.”
With Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku both departing already this summer, Chelsea could look to bring in an additional attacker without hindering Sterling’s game time at Stamford Bridge.

"I just felt my time at City was getting limited on playing time for different reasons. I couldn't afford to waste time. A fresh challenge was to be made,” he admitted.

"It's a lot of memories and top moments.

"The year and a bit where I was in and out of the team, I learned a lot about myself. A lot happens for a reason. It was difficult, but those things you have to make decisions which are best for yourself and family.
"With the game-time being limited, I'm 27, I know my standards and what I bring, I won't accept anything less."
Sterling will be hoping to play more during his time at Chelsea, with Tuchel looking to make the 27-year-old a key player in his attack as the Bluesl ook to challenge at the top of the Premier League table once again.
Sterling will be hoping to dethrone his former team Manchester City, while also leapfrogging another of his former clubs in Liverpool.
