Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel was quick to shut down a question about Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli and his failed move to PSG.

Tuchel was in charge at PSG for two years before being sacked in December 2019, with former Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino appointed as his replacement.

Alli was close to joining PSG during the January transfer window, but Tuchel did not want to speak about the saga ahead of his side's clash against Spurs.

"Are you at the right press conference?" he said in rebuttal to the journalist's enquiry. "Are you sure? I will not answer that.

"I was happy to answer about Harry Kane [and his injury-enforced absence] because it is an honour for me to speak about him being one of the best players but with everything else, for every other player, I want to show respect and not talk about players of other coaches. We stick to our team, thanks."
