Chelsea set Friday deadline for any Enzo Fernández transfer offer — reports
Enzo Fernández is back from his post-World Cup holidays and back in training with Chelsea this week. Also back are the rumors linking him with a potential exit, though the Real Madrid angle from earlier this summer has now been replaced by a lot of Manchester City chatter. City are of course now managed by Enzo […]
Official: Chelsea sign Pep Chavarría from Rayo Vallecano
Chelsea have completed the signing of Pep Chavarría from Rayo Vallecano, with the 28-year-old left back putting pen to paper on a five-year contract, good through 2031. The deal was reportedly struck at €19m after extended negotiations, with a further €2m in potential bonuses due the La Liga side. Chavarría says he will bring “a […]

Chelsea have ‘no interest’ in signing Myles Lewis-Skelly from Arsenal — report
After being used as pawns in Vinícius Jr’s new contract at Real Madrid — hey, that used to be our role, back in the days of Sergio Ramos! — Arsenal have gone out and spent big on Bruno Guimarães instead, signing the midfielder from Newcastle United for a cool £75m. As usual, the arrival of […]
Official: Notts County sign Ishé Samuels-Smith on loan from Chelsea
Young Ishé Samuels-Smith will be spending next season on loan at third division Notts County, who completed the 20-year-old defender’s signing today. He’s part of their reinforcement drive this summer to ensure their stay in League One, after earning promotion from League Two via the playoffs last season. The Magpies, who famously got relegated from […]
Official: RC Strasbourg sign Filip Jörgensen on loan from Chelsea
As expected, Filip Jörgensen will be spending the season on loan at sister-club RC Strasbourg, with the move made official earlier today. Jörgensen had flown home early from Chelsea’s preseason tour — just a couple days after first landing in Australia in fact — but it’s still taken a couple weeks to actually finalize the […]

Chelsea drawn against Luton Town in Carabao Cup Second Round
One of the first orders of business in the new season (proper) will be to contest the second round of the Carabao Cup (i.e. League Cup). This is something we had to do just once during the previous era, but thanks to yet another season without any European football whatsoever, will now be doing it […]

Official: Como 1907 sign Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea
After nearly two decades at Chelsea Football Club, from age 8 to age 27, Trevoh Chalobah has bid farewell to the Blues by completing his move to Como 1907 in Italy today. Chalobah had left multiple times before, for various loan moves, but this now is a final goodbye. Throughout those years, the younger of […]
Johor Darul Ta’zim FC 3-3 Chelsea, Friendly: Post-match reaction
An ecstatic crowd could be heard loud and clear at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Malaysia as Chelsea visited Johor Darul Ta’zim in their last preseason match in Asia. Since it was only 24 hours ago that the Blues beat AC Milan in Indonesia on a 3-0 scoreline, it was no surprise our starting eleven and […]
Johor Darul Ta’zim FC vs. Chelsea, Friendly: Lineups & Game Thread
Exactly 24 hours after beating AC Milan in Indonesia, Chelsea take a nearly 1,400km trip to Malaysia to face Johor Darul Ta’zim at their turf. With manager Xabi Alonso choosing to give first-team starters as much time as possible on the pitch yesterday, it’s no surprise this starting lineup is even younger in contrast. At […]

Johor Darul Ta’zim FC vs. Chelsea, Friendly: Preview, team news, how to watch
It’s an exceedingly busy end to Chelsea’a two-week preseason tour, with the Blues taking on Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim barely 24 hours after our friendly against AC Milan. It may be a relatively short journey across the Java Sea, from Jakarta, Indonesia to Iskandar Puteri in Malaysia, which is right at the southern tip […]
Chelsea 3-0 AC Milan, Friendly: Post-match reaction
A somewhat strong lineup for Chelsea took the pitch to face AC Milan in Jakarta, Indonesia. In the penultimate match of preseason for both sides, neither seemed too hurried to break the deadlock. In the not so eventful event Chelsea were the best side thanks to at least forcing young Milan goalkeeper, Lorenzo Torriani, a […]
Chelsea vs. AC Milan, Friendly: Lineups & Game Thread
We’re nearly at the end of our preseason commitments, in which Chelsea have found little to no time to properly train under new manager Xabi Alonso. At least the group will get a full two weeks of training before taking the pitch for our official debut versus Fulham in the Premier League, which will hopefully […]

Chelsea vs. AC Milan, Friendly: Preview, team news, how to watch
After a brief stay in Hong Kong, Chelsea are off to Indonesia, where we’ll be playing a friendly against AC Milan in Jakarta on Saturday. And then, immediately after, we’re back to mainland Asia, with a game in Malaysia not 24 hours later! Certainly a whirlwind end to this two-week tour of Australia and Southeast […]

Chelsea, Rayo Vallecano agree €19+2m Pep Chavarría transfer — report
After weeks of negotiations, Chelsea appear to have successfully struck a deal to sign Pep Chavarría from Rayo Vallecano, and, even better, it appears that we didn’t even get fleeced too badly in the process! As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the deal has been agreed at €19m, with a further €2m in potential add-ons. This […]

Crystal Palace submit offer for Chelsea defender Axel Disasi — report
When Bomb Squad expert Axel Disasi last played at Selhurst Park, he walked off the pitch with a Crystal Palace shirt draped over his shoulders. If things go well in the next few days, the next time he’s there, he won’t have rely on exchanging shirts to get one. Back on that April day, Disasi […]
Cole Palmer, Levi Colwill miss Juventus friendly with ‘discomforts’
Cole Palmer and Levi Colwill missed today’s friendly against Juventus, but thankfully that was mostly a precautionary decision, as manager Xabi Alonso confirmed afterwards. Crucially, it sounds like neither player is dealing with any actual soft tissue injury, like a muscle or a tendon. “They had a few, not injuries, discomforts. Cole with a whack […]
Chelsea 0-1 Juventus, Friendly: Post-match reaction
With both sides picking a strong starting lineup to face each other, we could only expect a slugfest to take place at Kai Tak Sports Park in this meeting between Chelsea and Juventus. In this regard neither side disappointed onlookers. The Blues and the Old Lady were fairly matched throughout the first half, although it […]
Chelsea vs. Juventus, Friendly: Lineups & Game Thread
It has been a few years since we last faced Juventus on the pitch. We’ve been on similar paths even if not exactly parallel, with the (once) Italian juggernauts failing to win their national league for six years and counting. As always fitness, tactics and team chemistry take precedence in a preseason game. But if […]
