Chelsea ‘exploring move’ for Danny Welbeck — reports
We absolutely, positively cannot have a transfer window without getting Brighton & Hove Albion involved, so to fulfill that annual BlueCo quota, we’ve got our eyes on Danny Welbeck. According to reports, including (first) the Mail and The Athletic, Chelsea are “exploring a move” for the 35-year-old veteran striker, who’s got just one year left […]

Pedro Neto linked with Manchester City, Liverpool — report
Pedro Neto has been ever-present since his arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers, making over 100 appearances in all competitions in just two seasons, scoring 19 goals and adding the same amount of assists. Not exactly outrageous numbers, but Neto’s drive, energy, and availability (an important quality especially in a frequently injury-decimated team) made him a very […]
PSG set €170m asking price for Bradley Barcola after rejected Chelsea bid — reports
Bradley Barcola rudely interrupted this otherwise quite quiet Sunday in the football-verse by rejecting PSG’s latest contract extension offer and thus putting himself front and center in the rumor mill. Liverpool may have already sprung into action right quick with a €120m offer, but that doesn’t seem to be enough to even get a foot […]

Emmanuel Emegha to miss a few weeks with hamstring injury — report
A series of injuries, mostly of the hamstring variety, limited Emmanuel Emegha to just 18 appearances for RC Strasbourg last season, and unfortunately the young striker’s rotten luck appears to be continuing. He picked up another hamstring strain in Chelsea’s behind-closed-doors friendly win against Bromley the other day, and that’s now ruled him out of […]

Chelsea set to appoint a new set piece coach
Earlier this week, there was a story in the Daily Mail about oft-maligned (at least in the public eye) Bernardo Cueva changing roles at Chelsea, moving from his set-piece coaching position that he’s held for the last two years (and countless head coaches), to “one more behind the scenes and away from the pitch”. The […]
Chelsea confirm initial traveling squad for preseason tour
This summer has absolutely flown by thanks to the World Cup, and we’re now less than month away from the start of the new Premier League season. I know! That means it’s also time for the team’s preseason preparations to start truly ramping up, and in modern times, that means it’s time for the preseason […]
Chelsea, Bayer Leverkusen ‘now in talks’ over £34m Kerim Alajbegović transfer — report
Chelsea were recently linked with World Cup breakout star Kerim Alajbegović, and were even said to be “the favorites” to win the race for the 18-year-old’s signature. Of course, such rumors can be a dime a dozen, but in this case, that is indeed looking likely at the moment, with the Blues “now in talks” […]
Como 1907 make ‘improved bid’ for Trevoh Chalobah — report
As Chelsea look set to complete the signing of center back Maxence Lacroix, the exit of Trevoh Chalobah looks to be getting closer to reality as well. Serie A side Como 1907 have made yet another bid (their second? third?) for the 27-year-old, and this one might meet our requirements. According to Fabrizio Romano’s “exclusive”, […]
Chelsea, Crystal Palace ‘finalising’ £52m Maxence Lacroix transfer — report
It looks like Maxence Lacroix will be a Chelsea player here shortly, with the Blues “finalizing” the deal with Crystal Palace today. That’s based on some slightly non-standard reporting from The Athletic, focusing on a non-finalized deal and a scheduled medical, but hopefully they’re not jumping the gun. Chelsea have been talking with Palace about […]

Chelsea ‘favorites’ to sign Kerim Alajbegović from Bayer Leverkusen — reports
If you followed the World Cup over the past month or so, you will have likely heard of young Kerim Alajbegović. The 18-year-old winger caught the eye in an otherwise unremarkable Bosnia & Herzegovina side, especially in their 3-1 win against Qatar, in which he was named the Superior Player of the Match. Bosnia’s World […]
Official: Chelsea sign Harrison Bettoni from Wigan Athletic
Chelsea have signed Harrison Bettoni from Wigan Athletic, with the 18-year-old attacking midfielder agreeing a four-year deal good through 2030. He’s expected to join the U21 team. Bettoni, who first joined Wigan at the U13 level, made 27 appearances for their first team last season, including 21 in League One as they finished in the […]
Official: Aston Villa sign Alejandro Garnacho on loan from Chelsea
Alejandro Garnacho’s move to Aston Villa was made official this morning, with the 22-year-old winger joining Villa for at least the season, and probably for well beyond. There’s a “conditional obligation” for Villa to make the move permanent should “certain criteria be met”. According to earlier reports, those criteria are not expected to be difficult […]
Chelsea, FC Dallas agree future transfer of Benji Flowers — report
Chelsea have agreed the future transfer of teenage talent Benji Flowers, who’s apparently a very highly rated young player currently in the academy system of FC Dallas in the USA. Flowers is only 15, and having just signed his first professional contract, so he will be joining the Blues only in about three years, in […]

Chelsea want £25m for Marc Guiu and Axel Disasi; £65m for Nicolas Jackson — reports
It’s been a very busy few days in the transfer market for Chelsea following the conclusion of the World Cup, but the wheeling and dealing should continue long and hard for a while yet, as we still have plenty of players on the books who need their futures figured out. Among the more prominent of […]
Aston Villa, Chelsea agree Alejandro Garnacho loan with option — reports
According to multiple reports, Aston Villa and Chelsea have agreed yet another deal today, this time for Blues disappointment Alejandro Garnacho. So as Morgan Rogers arrives from Villa, Garnacho heads the other way — technically not actually related, but you know… The Garnacho deal is just a loan but with a conditional buy obligation, which […]
‘Recent’ Chelsea bid for Alex Scott was rejected by AFC Bournemouth — reports
AFC Bournemouth midfielder Alex Scott has only two years left on his contract, and as such, he’s been subject to a fair bit of speculation this summer about his future. A new contract doesn’t seem to be in the offing (he has rejected at least one offer, per The Athletic), and the Cherries thus would […]

Official: Chelsea sign Morgan Rogers from Aston Villa
Morgan Rogers has been officially announced as a Chelsea player tonight, completing his club record-breaking £117m move from Aston Villa. The 23-year-old has signed a six-year contract, good through 2032, with a club option for an additional year. Rogers becomes Chelsea’s most expensive incoming transfer of all time, breaking the record set with Enzo Fernández’s […]
Aston Villa submit Alejandro Garnacho bid to Chelsea — reports
Chelsea’s Alejandro Garnacho experiment has returned, shall we say, disappointing results; so much so that the 22-year-old winger has been put on the transfer block just twelve months after arriving from Manchester United looking to rebuild his career. He’s not even been invited back to preseason training under Xabi Alonso (but don’t call it a […]
Crystal Palace set £60m asking price for Maxence Lacroix as Chelsea talks continue — reports
The World Cup is over so Silly Season can now begin in earnest, and Chelsea just might follow our record-breaking acquisition of Morgan Rogers (soon to be official) with another big deal, this one for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix. The France international, who played three games at the World Cup including most of the […]
