EPL: He won't get what he wants - Tuchel stops Chelsea player from joining Barcelona

Chelsea coach Thomas Tuchel has said he will not allow Cesar Azpilicueta to move to Barcelona this summer.

The Blues have already lost Andreas Christensen as a free agent to the La Liga giants.

However, Barca are still keen on bringing Azpilicueta ahead of the new season.

"I'm not sure I want to give Azpi what he wants," said Tuchel.

"We have a Spanish international player, captain, but Barcelona don't see him at this level - so I don't know if I want to give Azpi what he wants.

"Maybe I'm a bit bored by Barca. But I'm doing my best for Chelsea. I told Azpilicueta that, he doesn't like it, but he understands."

Azpilicueta has one year left on his current contract at Stamford Bridge.
