Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel admits he will hold talks with Saul Niguel about his future at Stamford Bridge when the season comes to an end.

In August, Saul joined the Blues on loan for the season from Spanish side Atletico Madrid. The deal also has the option to make the deal a permanent one, although it is unclear whether Saul will be signed permanently or sent back to his native Spain at this stage.

For Saul, the loan move to Stamford Bridge has not been that has come with too many first team chances. The 27-year-old has only played 21 times in all competitions this term, including just eight Premier League appearances, just four have been in the starting line-up.

In midfield, N’Golo Kante, Jorginho, Mateo Kovacic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have all found themselves ahead of Saul in the pecking order for Tuchel’s side, with Saul moved to a makeshift wing-back role during his limited number of minutes this season.

While Saul is not a regular under Tuchel, the German has been pleased with his continued efforts and contributions when he does play and in training. Given the uncertainty around what business Chelsea will be allowed to conduct in the summer window due to the club’s current ownership situation, Saul could still be considered as a permanent deal, with Chelsea doing similar when signing Kovacic
