Fikayo Tomori delivers behind the scenes look at how Chelsea stars feel about Thomas Tuchel

Chelsea are enjoying life under Thomas Tuchel, now 12 unbeaten across all competitions.

The German head coach has made quite the start at Stamford Bridge, taking Chelsea back into the top four and within three points of third-placed Leicester City after beating Everton on Monday.

Things are going swimmingly on the pitch for the Blues, and it seems things are going just as well behind the scenes with the mood in the camp 'good', according to an exiled star.

Fikayo Tomori, who is currently on loan at AC Milan after making the move to Italy just days before Tuchel's arrival, is still in contact with his teammates, and he has provided some insight from behind the scenes.

"Obviously I've spoken to people at Chelsea. They're not only team-mates, they're also friends so we all check up on each other to see how we're all doing," he told reporters ahead of AC Milan's Europa League clash with Manchester United.

"A lot of the time we're not talking about football but about general life.

"The mood in the camp there from what I understand is good. A lot of them are playing games, scoring goals and playing well so I'm sure it's all going well."

Chelsea are in a strong position to qualify for the Champions League, an achievement which could take Tuchel a long way towards a contract extension having only penned an 18-month deal upon his arrival.

The positive mood behind the scenes will no doubt have been aided by the fact Tuchel has brought in a number of players who barely got a look in under Frank Lampard.

The likes of Marcos Alonso, Antonio Rudiger and skipper Cesar Azpilicueta have all seen much more action since Tuchel's arrival in late January as part of a regularly rotated Blues starting XI.
