Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel insists they never made a serious move for Barcelona attacker Ousmane Dembele.

There were deadline day links with Dembele, who the German worked with at Borussia Dortmund, but Tuchel insisted that was just speculation.

"I'm very satisfied because it was a calm window and to be calm is always the best thing," he stated.

"We were open for things but I did not have any contact with Ousmane. There was nothing between us but there is no frustration.

"I know what kind of quality we would need to add to a strong group. We trust in the group we have and it's my job to find solutions when we have injuries."
