Chelsea News | TOMORI happy | ALONSO stuck | GILMOUR Dilemma | KANTE unleashed | MOUNT's desire.

Welcome to the Chelsea news update here on the channel and today it features five players in particular - Fikayo Tomori, Marcos Alonso, Billy Gilmour, N'Golo Kante and Mason Mount.

 
Fikayo Tomori is targeting Serie A glory for AC Milan this season after arriving on loan from Chelsea and thinks playing with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Mario Mandzukic can enhance his development as a player - Sky Sports.

 
MARCOS ALONSO faces spending the rest of the season on the Chelsea bench while a move fails to materialise. According to reports in Spain, neither Barcelona nor Real Madrid are ready to sign the left-back - The Sun.

 
One player not in the matchday squad last night was Billy Gilmour, another young midfielder who has been much less involved than Mount this season.

 
While Tuchel acknowledges the Scot is at a ‘different personal moment’ to Mount, he doesn’t expect to see him leave on loan as has been reported in some media outlets.

 
‘For Billy I have a good impression. He is a very strategic guy, with a very high level of game understanding, very good in the first contact, very clever in positioning.

 
‘We will see if he has the physical level to compete in the centre of the field in the most physical league in the world, but he is super quick with his feet, super fast with his decision making, and very good in positioning like I said - Chelsea FC

 
Kante - I think he is the strongest on the double six, in the centre, in the heart of the game. It give him a little bit more freedom than when he plays as a single six with what he can do. But for me he is a double six because we can use his energy and use his range and volume in his game and his ability to recuperate and recover balls everywhere on the pitch - Chelsea FC.

 
With Mason I wanted to take the weight of his shoulder. They are absolutely sure they can handle the weight and I have no trust issues but wanted to give the responsibility in this special moment to a bit more experience players. There is nothing to worry about.

 
“I like what I see from Mason so far, from his personality which is amazing. He is such a nice guy, such a competitive guy with such a lot of talent. And most important, in every game I watch so far he leaves his heart on the pitch. He cares for Chelsea 100%. He gives 100% every time he plays and this is the best basis for a big development. I am very, very happy to have him around and I will not stop pushing him and I will not stop guiding him and stop trusting him - Chelsea FC.
