When Andrea Cambiaso was linked with a move to Chelsea, it made sense. The Juventus left-back is someone who does fit the style of football that Xabi Alonso likes to play. It is not hard to see that he could fit the role that Alejandro Grimaldo had in the Spaniard’s Bayer Leverkusen side which achieved […]
Signing a new goalkeeper might be viewed as important by Xabi Alonso. Robert Sanchez has been the club’s number since joining in 2023. The Spaniard is one of the most polarising players in the team though. On his day, he is world-class and one of the best in the Premier League. But then, it does […]
One thing that Chelsea must do this summer is sign players who fit Xabi Alonso’s system. One of the easiest ways to do that would be bringing in those who have already done. That would mean players from Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid. Perhaps even those he coached for Real Sociedad’s B team, who have […]
Signing another striker could very well be part of Chelsea’s plans. That will depend on departures. Liam Delap is expected to leave after managing just one Premier League goal in the 25/26 season. And it is unclear whether Nicolas Jackson will stay or not. He found his form towards the end of the season at […]
Chelsea might undergo a transformation this summer when it comes to their options on the wings. The club did try to strengthen their flanks last year when they signed Alejandro Garnacho from Manchester United and Jamie Gittens from Borussia Dortmund. It is believed that they spent north of £90 million combined on the two additions. […]
A lot has changed at Chelsea over the past twelve months. Less than a year ago, they were crowned Club World Cup winners and things were finally looking up for BlueCo. Since then, two managers have left. A 10th place finish and a trophyless campaign were all they could manage. And now, they seem back […]
Over the past few months, Chelsea have been linked with a variety of players. The fans have been left impressed by some of those names, not particularly interested in several others. Of course, recruitment has been one of the Blues’ weak points over the last few years. It has been one of the major factors […]
It has pretty much been an open secret for months now that Enzo Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea this summer. When a player refuses to rule out an exit when asked by the media, when they start naming other cities as dream destinations and when their agent starts talking about exploring options, that is almost […]
Fans are hoping that Xabi Alonso is the one to turn things around for Chelsea after four disappointing seasons under BlueCo ownership. That is easier said than done. Pretty much every head coach has failed so far. The only one to bring any silverware to the club during this era, Enzo Maresca, chose to walk […]
Chelsea are expected to make multiple signings in this summer transfer window. How many remains a topic up for debate. Some have suggested that it could be as few as two starting-level players. Other outlets have claimed that as many as five could be brought in, depending on departures. One of the positions that is […]
With Xabi Alonso coming in, it is expected that the transfer business this summer will be driven by him. The Spaniard has been appointed as manager, and not head coach, to show the extra control and say that he is going to have on matters. And it looks like he wants to bring in someone […]
The summer transfer window is around the corner and media briefings have set the expectations high for Chelsea fans. Deals are already in place to bring in Geovany Quenda, Dastan Satpaev, Emmanuel Emegha and Valentin Barco to join the club. But beyond that, it has been suggested that the club will look for proven and […]
