Kurt Zouma moved to West Ham in what was a bit of a surprising move considering that he had become quite the reliable player over last season.
However, he did fall out of the starting XI after the arrival of Tuchel and that has led to some speculation from former Chelsea man Glen Johnson.
He told bettingodds.com: “As a West Ham guy, I’m delighted that they’ve signed him and I think it’s a great deal. He’s a good player, a young player and is super athletic. He’s a bubbly guy too so I reckon the West Ham lads would be really happy to have him with them.
“From a Chelsea perspective, I’m surprised they’ve sold him. There clearly must be something between him and Thomas Tuchel because otherwise they wouldn’t have let him go, even though I don’t know that personally.
“He’s a very good player and for him to turn up at West Ham is ideal for the Hammers.”
To assume that something must have happened between Zouma and Tuchel might be a bit much considering how much the German has impacted squad bonding since his arrival.
