Helt fair. Jeg har dog store forventninger til nogle af de store hold, der havde en skidt sidste sæson på grund af skader (Chelsea, Newcastle og United), fordi mange spillere vender retur, og fordi der ikke er CL på menuen, men ECL og EL hvor man kan rotere langt ind i turneringen.

Breaking: Chelsea are due to hold a new round of talks with Atletico Madrid over the weekend as the two clubs aim to break the deadlock over Conor Gallagher and Joao Felix.

Chelsea are hopeful that a deal may be struck with Napoli to sign striker Victor Osimhen.

OFFICIAL: Mason Burstow has completed a permanent transfer to Championship side Hull City.

Understand Chelsea see Romelu Lukaku and Victor Osimhen as separate deals. NO negotiations over swap, Chelsea are focused on selling Lukaku on permanent deal. Napoli are on it with personal terms agreed.

Chelsea remain interested in Victor Osimhen as the option was re-activated weeks ago and talks are still ongoing.

But Chelsea informed Napoli that they could proceed on loan in the final days. Osimhen and his camp always been clear, not open to loan/no way to reduce salary. Chelsea want to go for Osimhen on their conditions, they see it as an opportunity near the end of the transfer market maybe in a creative formula

Ben Chilwell, set to leave Chelsea as Maresca has confirmed: “It´s probably better Chilly leaves and finds minutes”.

“I love the way he is, the problem is that he is struggling to find the right position with us...”.

Chelsea will try to sell Ben Chilwell, they will look for a solution.

Chelsea and Atlético are getting closer to final agreement for João Félix and Conor Gallagher!

Positive round of talks today, João says yes to contract terms. Rumours on €60m fixed fee for Félix are not true. All parties working to get it done this weekend.

Chelsea will put add ons into the deal for Felix, and they will be directly linked to his performances.

RC Lens ‘in talks’ with Chelsea to sign Alex Matos

RC Lens have dipped into the Chelsea well once already this summer, rescuing Malang Sarr from his footballing limbo, but now they’re going back for a second dip. It better not be a double-dip, my friends; that’s like putting your whole mouth in the dip!

This time, as per L’Equipe (via GFFN), they’ve got their eyes on young midfielder Alex Matos, who has become a bit of a forgotten man amid all the other comings and goings (but mostly comings) at the club. Matos looked ready for first-team action last year already, making a couple appearances for Chelsea before joining Huddersfield Town in January on loan for the rest of the campaign, and impressing across his 20 appearances for the Championship side (despite their eventual relegation).

Still just 19, Matos signed with Chelsea last summer on a free transfer out of Norwich City’s academy, though signing only a three-year contract. In addition to Lens, our multi-club buddies RC Strasbourg are apparently also interested, with Chelsea said to prefer Matos staying in the BlueCo system. With our international loan slots all just about spoken for now, Matos would most likely be looking at a transfer here.

Burnley have agreed deal to sign Bashir Humphreys from Chelsea.
Loan with mandatory buy clause, it will become permanent for 5 year contract.
