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 […]

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 […]
