It would be safe to say that Chelsea want to sign a winger this summer. That has been what several reliable outlets have suggested over the past few months. And quite a few players have been linked as well. Morgan Rogers of Aston Villa is viewed as one on their radar. Kenan Yildiz is viewed […]
It is very interesting to see how Chelsea approach this summer transfer window. All the talk has been that the club will at least bring in two players ready to go straight into the starting XI. But would that be the end of their business? Or will the club like to do more by signing […]
For a long time now, Real Madrid have been believed to be Enzo Fernandez’s next destination. And it is pretty much an open secret that he would like to leave Chelsea this summer. That does not mean that the door to the Bernabeu is open to him. On the contrary, if Florentino Perez’s recent comments […]
Chelsea could say goodbye to multiple wingers this summer. It has been reported that they are open to offers for both Alejandro Garnacho and Pedro Neto. The former simply was not able to meet expectations following his move from Man Utd last summer. The latter has not taken the next step despite getting consistent playing […]
Things can change quickly in football. Jose Mourinho’s time as a big-time manager had seemed over following the former Chelsea boss’ recent spells at Fenerbahce and Benfica. Now, I am not saying those are not big clubs with passionate fanbases. But they most certainly do not have the global visibility of teams from the top […]
Xabi Alonso will know that he needs to improve his Chelsea squad this summer. This is a team that could only finish 10th in the Premier League and failed to win any silverware. And in the last few months of the campaign, the Blues were well and truly in relegation form. Things need to get […]
Jose Mourinho is expected to become the new Real Madrid manager if or when Florentino Perez is named Real Madrid president again. And in that scenario, the Portuguese legend is expected to want to rebuild the squad in his own vision after two majorly disappointing campaigns for Los Blancos. Here is how that could help […]
Of course, there has been a lot of conversation about the Chelsea players who have failed to make England’s World Cup squad. Thomas Tuchel made a brave call, leaving Cole Palmer at home. He was the one who scored in the EURO 2024 final for the Three Lions, albeit in vain. Coming out of the […]
It will be very interesting to see how Chelsea go about their business in the summer transfer window. At least some substantial signings are expected to be made. Players who could come in and immediately establish themselves as starters. On the other hand, Xabi Alonso will also have to make the most out of the […]
Chelsea will be looking to sign some proven players this summer. The focus seems to be on a centre-back and a versatile player capable of playing on the left flank or in the number 10 role. But that search could expand. And one would hope that if the right opportunity presents itself, the Blues are […]
One area Chelsea definitely need to strengthen this summer is centre-back. The Blues’ defence has arguably been their biggest weakness for a long time. Last year, Levi Colwill got injured in pre-season training. Enzo Maresca openly asked for a replacement to be brought in. But his request as overlooked. In hindsight, he was absolutely right, […]
It is safe to say that Chelsea have a lot of areas to work on this summer. After all, this is a team that finished 10th in the Premier League and trophyless. Naturally, they cannot rest on their laurels. That being said, the budget could prove to be a hurdle for the club going into […]
