Chelsea management has moved to deny German claims of a move to replace Antonio Conte with Thomas Tuchel.
The Mirror says the German coach who parted company with Borussia Dortmund in the summer, is reportedly being lined up as a potential replacement for Conte.
Conte has been outspoken on the club's summer spending, having failed to land a number of first-choice targets this summer.
However, the Blues have no intention of trading in the man who won the Premier League title in his debut season, winning an unprecedented 30 of 38 matches in the process.
Tuchel won the German Cup last season, but left Dortmund on bad terms after a series of clashes and rifts with senior officials.
