Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel did not shy away from reports he used to support Tottenham.

The German spoke about the matter in 2016 when he was at Borussia Dortmund, saying he was a Spurs fan as a boy.

Now he is wearing Chelsea blue and will be hoping to win important trophies with the club.

"I want to be very honest," said Tuchel during a press conference.

"We played the Europa League game with Dortmund at Tottenham and everyone . . . I just explained when I was young there was no daily matches live from Germany so all I could see was two minutes every few weeks.

"Suddenly Tottenham came across on our sports broadcaster and I heard the name Tottenham Hotspur. I have talked about that story. I was young. That was one of my first experiences, I did not know it was a club from London. Now I am aware I work for their big rivals and you can be sure we will do everything we can to beat them next week!"
