Chelsea vs. Juventus, Friendly: Preview, team news, how to watch

Chelsea are in Hong Kong for the second leg of our preseason tour, and will be taking on Juventus in a showcase friendly tomorrow. This will be our third official preseason match, following a 6-4 win over Western Sydney Wanderers and a 2-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur, both in Sydney, Australia last week. (We also […]

Chelsea being ‘sensitive’ in Mykhailo Mudryk situation

Mykhailo Mudryk has returned to football after a 20-month ban for adverse findings on a doping control in amounts that would no longer constitute a violation these days, and he’s now joined up with the rest of the Chelsea squad on preseason tour in Hong Kong. But what happens next is about as murky as […]

Manchester City stepping up Pedro Neto interest — report

According to Fabrizio Romano’s latest “exclusive”, Manchester City are stepping up their interest in Pedro Neto and have made “direct contact” with the player’s camp as “talks start over possible move”. It’s unclear if those talks are starting with Neto or with Chelsea, but you’d think that after we nearly took them to court over […]

Official: RC Strasbourg sign Genesis Antwi on loan from Chelsea

Chelsea and RC Strasbourg have completed our first, effectively in-house loan deal of the summer, with Genesis Antwi joining our BlueCo sister club for the season ahead. We are allowed up to three loans to RCSA so I’d expect two more to follow in Antwi’s footsteps before window’s end. (In the meantime, we are allowed […]

Como, Chelsea agree €30+6m Trevoh Chalobah transfer — reports

Trevoh Chalobah’s Chelsea career was never the smoothest, and at several points in recent years, it looked like it would be over. But through multiple loans and even more head coaches, the Chelsea Academy graduate managed to convince those in charge of his quality and reliability in defense, and was always there were we needed […]

Six more players join Chelsea preseason tour

Chelsea have arrived in Hong Kong for the second leg of our preseason tour, and our numbers have grown to a whopping 35 in the process with the arrivals of six more players as well. Those new arrivals include a familiar face in Pedro Neto, plus new signings Danny Welbeck and Geovany Quenda, as well […]

Official: Chelsea sign free agent Jordan Henderson

For a brief second, I had wondered if maybe Jordan Henderson and Xabi Alonso had shared the pitch as Liverpool teammates at some point. Turns out, they missed each other by two seasons: Alonso left for Real Madrid in 2009 while Henderson arrived from Sunderland in 2011. But now, the two Liverpool icons can reunite […]

Official: Chelsea sign Valentín Barco from RC Strasbourg

Chelsea have finally announced the signing of Valentín Barco from RC Strasbourg today, with the now 22-year-old (as of last week) midfielder making the jump from our BlueCo sister club and signing a seven-year deal good through 2033. The deal was first reported done way back in April, but it’s taken nearly four months to […]

Chelsea submit new and improved bid for Pep Chavarría — reports

According to a Fabrizio Romano “exclusive”, Chelsea have submitted a new bid for Rayo Vallecano left back Pep Chavarría yesterday. The two teams have been in talks for about a month now over the 28-year-old, with Chelsea initially meeting Rayo’s €15m asking price, but the La Liga side then moving the goalposts and wanting the […]

Robert Sánchez dealing with ‘minor’ injury

Academy youngster Teddy Sharman-Lowe started both of Chelsea’s preseason matches in Australia this past week, playing the first half against Western Sydney on Tuesday and then the full-90 against Tottenham Hotspur last night. In fact, Sharman-Lowe was the only starter to complete the whole game yesterday, with most others getting substituted on 80 minutes, as […]

Official: Chelsea sign Danny Welbeck from Brighton & Hove Albion

Chelsea have completed our annual signing from Brighton & Hove Albion. We may be changing our approach to transfers this summer, but we cannot kick this habit! Still, after spending nearly £2 billion on almost 50 incoming transfers since January 2023, we have finally signed a player over the age of 26! And only for […]

Chelsea 1-2 Tottenham Hotspur, Friendly: Post-match reaction

It’s only the second match of our preparations for the 2026-27 season. But it also being a derby versus Tottenham Hotspur, this clearly had higher stakes than usual for both sides. Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso chose to go forward with the strongest lineup he could muster, and it made a difference from kick-off. The Blues […]

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Friendly: Lineups & Game Thread

A London derby taking place in Australia. The place down under is not particularly hot this time around, but things can get heated whenever Chelsea and Tottenham clash on the pitch. Chelsea starting lineup (4-2-3-1):Sharman-Lowe | Palestra, Fofana, Colwill (c), Hato | Essugo, Lavia | Estevão, Palmer, Gittens | João Pedro Substitutes from: Curd, Subuloye, […]

Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur, Friendly: Preview, team news, how to watch

For the second preseason friendly of the summer tour, Chelsea will take on customary punching bags Tottenham Hotspur tomorrow night in Sydney, which will be the last bit of action for us in Australia before moving on to the Southeast Asia portion of the tour. Spurs are of course familiar foes source of three points […]

Chelsea also fined £10m by The FA for self-reported historical financial irregularities

When BlueCo bought Chelsea Football Club from Roman Abramovich in the sale forced by the UK government four years ago, the new ownership group found some financial irregularities in the books relating to historical transfers (a.k.a. “incomplete” financial information, a.k.a. secret payments to agents and the like), including during the signing of Eden Hazard for […]

Moisés Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson join Chelsea preseason tour

As confirmed by the official Chelsea website, and also shown on the social media feeds, Moisés Caicedo and Nicolas Jackson have arrived in Australia, to join up with the Chelsea preseason tour ahead of this weekend’s friendly against Spurs (though they’re unlikely to feature in it considering that they just showed up). Their arrivals bring […]

Official: Chelsea sign Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace

Chelsea have completed our third major (and not already pre-agreed) move of the summer, signing Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace for a reported £52m. The 26-year-old center back has put pen to paper on a six-year contract, with a club option for an additional, seventh year. Lacroix arrives with a proven track record in the […]
