Thomas Tuchel has revealed that he sought advice from Jurgen Klopp before making the move to the Premier League. The Chelsea boss succeeded his compatriot at Borussia Dortmund back in 2015.

He and Klopp have since met on several occasions in European competitions. They will now meet in England's top flight for the first time with Tuchel admitting he discussed the league with Klopp and Pep Guardiola.

That meant that when Chelsea came calling he was primed and ready to take up their offer. Klopp and Guardiola have won the league during their time in England and the Blues boss believes their teams are "the benchmark".
