Tuchel is reportedly eyeing Wolves star Adama Traore as a potential alternative to Achraf Hakimi.
According to Sky Italia, Inter Milan have rejected £56m bids for wing-back Hakimi from both Chelsea and PSG.
The Serie A champions believe the Morocco international is worth close to £70m – but Tuchel may have other plans in mind.
According to The Telegraph, Tuchel views Traore as a potential candidate to strengthen Chelsea’s right flank, along with Hakimi.
The report claims the manager has been delighted with Reece James, and neither Hakimi nor Traore would be a replacement for the England international.
Traore, 25, could be sold by Wolves this summer as the Molineux club look to raise funds for new manager Bruno Lage.
