But Tuchel insists his former Borussia Dortmund hitman will be a major asset at Chelsea.

“He was the kind of fancy personality that everybody wanted to talk about and this is also nice, no?” said Tuchel. “Not everybody has to dress in dark blue with a boring cap! You can have a nice haircut and a fancy car.

“It’s a problem in judging people very, very fast, looking at this car or that, and suggesting someone is unprofessional.

“Maybe he’s just a bit more crazy than us. And this is very fine, because you need to be a bit outside the box to be special on the field.

“So for the amount of goals he scored, for the amount of attention he got, he was a very, very well-behaved number nine at Dortmund and I have no doubt he will be here too.”
