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.

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion agree Danny Welbeck transfer — reports

Brighton & Hove Albion were not expected to stand in the way of Danny Welbeck leaving their club, and it would appear that they were true to their word indeed, with Chelsea reportedly agreeing a deal to sign the 35-year-old veteran striker. The Blues had already agreed personal terms over a two-year contract over the […]

Napoli linked with Benoît Badiashile — reports

Benoît Badiashile’s time at Chelsea since his arrival three and a half years ago has not been amazing, with the 25-year-old center back limited by poor form and annual multi-month injuries. Early on, he had moments where he looked decent but he’s barely played the last two years outside of UEFA Conference League matches. Unsurprisingly, he’s […]

Western Sydney Wanderers 4-6 Chelsea, Friendly: Post-match reaction

Every start of preseason we make it clear that these games are nothing more than fitness preparation for the squad. However when you give playing time for several young players like we did today, you have to keep your eyes peeled for what may come next. One of those young’uns, Dastan Satpayev, had some eyes […]

Western Sydney Wanderers vs. Chelsea, Friendly: Confirmed lineups; how to watch

First match of the Xabi Alonso era at Chelsea. Plenty of expectations for a preseason match where focus will mostly be on match fitness and, for some of the lesser known guys in the squad, showing they can be of service to the new manager. Let’s do this! Western Sydney Wanderers starting eleven:Holmes | Gersbach, […]

Western Sydney Wanderers vs. Chelsea, Friendly: Preview, team news, how to watch

Chelsea agree personal terms with Danny Welbeck — reports

Danny Welbeck has been an absolute thorn in our side for several years — six goals and an assist in his last seven Premier League appearances against us — but now he’s ready to do that damage for us (or at least not keep stealing our joy), having reportedly agreed personal terms with the Blues […]
