Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel expects Newcastle United to soon be title contenders.

Tuchel was asked today about the Newcastle takeover.

He said: "I think it's normal people have concerns.

"We trust the Premier League, they have accepted and they are the authorities. They have allowed it and Newcastle have new owners.

"The new owners seem to be promising for a famous club in England and it seems we have a new competitor for titles and places in the top ranking.

"We play in the toughest league and it always seems to get tougher."
