Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel praises 'world class' Sergio Aguero amid talk of summer signing

Thomas Tuchel has hailed outgoing Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero as 'world class' but refused to be drawn on whether Chelsea would make a move for him in the summer.

Sportsmail reported on Thursday that Chelsea are in pole position in the race for Aguero's signature with the striker out of contract and departing City at the end of the season.

But quizzed about Chelsea's interest on Aguero and Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland on Friday, Tuchel was coy.

Aguero has emerged as a cheaper striker option for Chelsea – in terms of fee at least – as he will be a free agent this summer once his City contract expires.
