Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel insists he's happy with his squad despite missing out on Sevilla defender Jules Kounde.

Tuchel says managing director Marina Granovskaia was all too aware that a move would have been tricky to engineer, a belief that was shared by himself and technical advisor Petr Cech.

"Marina was in charge and she is the best person who can be in charge," said Tuchel.

"We were in contact and Petr Cech was in contact. Us three, we knew about all the situations.

"We knew things can happen, things can happen late, and we were also very aware of the situation that, maybe, nothing happens at all.

"I assured everybody that I'm also happy if we cannot bring a player in. We will find the solution within the squad."
