Tuchel said.
“Ivan deserves to be with us, I think, and I’m convinced because he scored over 20 goals this season,”
“He won a major title with the Asian Champions League, in goals and assists made a huge contribution.
“I thought, why not bring him over and let him travel to us? It’s a good occasion now to also test new players, see new players, meet Ivan first and see him in the environment.”
“He played a fantastic second half of the season with Chelsea. He is very, very consistent on a very high level,”
