 Raheem Sterling issued Chelsea transfer warning as Thomas Tuchel told of major Neymar problem. With Raheem Sterling getting closer to a move to Chelsea, the England winger has been warned by Gus Poyet that he will not be the same player at Stamford Bridge Gus Poyet does not think Raheem Sterling will be able to replicate what he has done at Manchester City if he joins Chelsea. Both the Blues and Man City are hopeful of striking a deal regarding the sale of Sterling in the near future, football.london understands. Sterling is into the final year of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and is open to moving in order to find more regular first-team football elsewhere. Chelsea believe they can offer him just that and are very interested in bringing the 27-year-old to Stamford Bridge. Over his seven-year spell with City, Sterling has netted a superb 131 goals in 339 appearances in all competitions. He's evolved into a goal-poacher thanks to the tutelage of Pep Guardiola. Sterling has als

 Timo Werner makes feelings clear as Chelsea use him in 'swap deal proposal'. Chelsea forward Timo Werner is reportedly open to a move to Juventus amid suggestions the Blues could use him as part of a deal to bring Matthijs de Ligt to west London. De Ligt is one of a number of centre-backs being linked with a Blues switch as Thomas Tuchel looks to revamp his team's options in defence. Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen are both on the move, with the pair leaving after earning plenty of minutes last season. The Dutch international cost Juve €75m (£64.5m) from Ajax in 2019 after helping the Dutch champions reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, beating his current club along the way. However, as Chelsea look at a deal for the 22-year-old, they could look to part ways with Werner to get the job done. According to Sky Italy (via Metro ), Chelsea are ready to hand over €45m plus Werner for De Ligt. The Blues forward is likely to need to take a wage cut if he ends up

 Chelsea 2022/23 Premier League fixtures in full: Everton, Tottenham and Leeds ensure tough start. Chelsea will need to hit the ground running at the start of the 2022/23 campaign with trips to Everton and Leeds United sandwiching a home clash against Tottenham. Chelsea begin their 2022/23 Premier League campaign on the road as Thomas Tuchel takes his side to Goodison Park to face Everton on August 6 in the day's late kick-off. There is another reunion the following weekend as Antonio Conte brings his Tottenham side across London to Stamford Bridge on August 13. That match will be the first official home game of the Todd Boehly era; the consortium led by the U.S. billionaire completed its takeover at the end of May. The Blues then do not face any of last season's top six until September 17 when Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool side travel down to London. It may enable Tuchel's side to build momentum as they attempt to close the gap to the Reds and Man City atop the Premier Leag

 Chelsea 'moving forward with negotiations' over 154-goal star at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea could start negotiations this week for a deal for Manchester City and England forward Raheem Sterling, according to Dean Jones. The 27-year-old has just come off the back of a title winning season with Manchester City, but has been linked with a move to west London this summer. What’s the latest on Sterling? According to Fabrizio Romano, there is a positive feeling around Chelsea that a deal can be struck with City, who are prepared to let Sterling leave. The same tweet also suggests that the player is also happy for the move to go through. Romano has also previously suggested that the Manchester club would want between €55/60m (£47.5/51.8m) to let the 77-cap England international leave the Etihad Stadium. Both clubs will want to get the deal done as soon as possible, with clubs returning to pre-season ahead of the Premier League campaign in August, and Jones believes that negotiations co

 Chelsea: Boehly wants to complete £55m deal 'within 24 hours' at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly is hoping to wrap up a deal for Leeds United star Raphinha within the next 24 to 48 hours, according to CBS Reporter Ben Jacobs. It is believed that the Blues have already agreed a fee with their Premier League rivals for the Brazilian, but a late move from Barcelona has put a spanner in the works. What is the latest news involving Raphinha? On Tuesday, The Telegraph reported that Chelsea had struck a £55m agreement with Leeds to sign Raphinha this transfer window. Since then, though, it has emerged that Barcelona are trying an 11th-hour hijack as they look to bring the 25-year-old to the Camp Nou. Raphinha is a long-term target for Barcelona, with Fabrizio Romano stating in his recent CaughtOffside column that the La Liga outfit have had an agreement on personal terms since last March. However, their financial situation made a deal seem practically impossible at one

 TRANSFER NEWS: Chelsea bid £78m to sign France defender, Chelsea could offer £50m plus Emerson for Lazio ace. According to reports, Chelsea is once again interested in signing Sevilla’s Jules Kounde. According to ABC Sevilla, the Blues have made the Frenchman a priority once more, and they are eager to finalise the transfer as soon as possible. Stamford Bridge’s interest in Kounde has been widely documented for a year, with the club almost missing out last summer. Despite that blunder, the club were supposed to be back in for the defender as the transfer window opened at the start of June, with it reported that they were willing to pay his £78m release clause.. Things came to a halt, however, when Barcelona emerged with the potential to hijack the sale, potentially dealing a severe blow to the new ownership.

CHELSEA SWOOP FOR MAN CITY’S RAHEEM STERLING ‘ALL AGREED’. A major update on the ongoing efforts of Chelsea to land Raheem Sterling from Premier League rivals Manchester City has been provided on Thursday afternoon. Surprise speculation linking wide-man Sterling with a move to west London, of course, first began to surface across the media earlier this month. Amid the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the futures of all of Timo Werner, Hakim Ziyech and Christian Pulisic, Chelsea are understood to have identified Sterling as a potential addition to the club’s attacking ranks ahead of next season. The English international often found himself on the outside looking in when it came to City’s most important fixtures this past season, sitting behind the likes of Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden in Pep Guardiola’s attacking pecking order. With just a year remaining on his contract at the Etihad, it would therefore make sense for the transfer team on the blue half of Manchester to look into the poss

 Chelsea close to re-signing Man City defender Ake. Chelsea are closing on re-signing Manchester City defender Nathan Ake. A deal to bring Ake back to Stamford Bridge from City is growing closer. That is according to Revelo journalist Matteo Moretto, who names the fee at around £40m for the Dutchman. City boss Pep Guardiola is ready to let Ake go with Tottenham also interested. The Holland international accepts his future lies away from the champions.

 Chelsea keen to complete deal for the perfect Mason Mount solution to ongoing transfer problem. Mason Mount has set the level of expected performance at Chelsea since the beginning of the 2019/20 season. His consistency, his output, his mentality and his energy have made him an undroppable presence during some rocky periods. The fact he was voted as the club's player of the season for the second year running proved as much at the end of an exhausting 63-game slog. He played the pass that helped win Chelsea the European Cup, he became the youngest player in the club's history to score in four consecutive games and he ended the 2021/22 season as the Blues top league scorer. Whilst the academy graduate's emergence has been a joyous story for supporters to witness, the lack of consistency to match him has proved an issue for Thomas Tuchel. At the beginning of last season, there was a challenge for the rest of Chelsea's attackers to step up and prove they could become as tr

 VIDEO: Matthijs de Ligt to Chelsea 'close' as Juventus identify Thomas Tuchel favourite to replace him. Paris Saint-Germain defender Presnel Kimpembe can help Chelsea secure the mega money signing of Matthijs de Ligt this summer Matthijs de Ligt to Chelsea has seemingly moved closer as Juventus prepare for life without the Dutchman as a contingency plan has been put into plan by the club ahead of crunch talks. The Dutchman's move to the Premier League has taken a massive step forward with the Old Lady now quoting well below the £103million release clause that Juve's No. 4 has in his contract. A reported fallout between the player and Juventus board over new contract negotiations has seemingly put the Serie A outfit in a position where the parting of the ways for the right price could be the best option on the table now for all involved. Chelsea were initially worried that they could themselves be priced out for the 22-year-old Ajax prodigy but the fallout with his curr

 Raphinha to Chelsea echoes Willian move as new transfer stategy looks set to expose Tuchel. Thomas Tuchel’s caveats for Chelsea’s toothless attack will be removed this summer, as the key difference between the transfers of Raphinha and Willian looks set to shine a light on the Chelsea manager. We love a good transfer hijacking and so, it appears, do Chelsea. They’ve been singing about their favourite swoop for nearly a decade… ‘The sh**e from Spurs, They bought his flight, But Will-i-an, He saw the light, He got the call from Abramovich, And off he went to Stamford Bridge, And he hates Tottenham, he hates Tottenham, He hates Tottenham and he hates Tottenham…’ Substitute Spurs for Arsenal, Raph-in-ha for Will-i-an and Abramovich for Todd Boehly and the chant becomes admittedly less catchy, but does include the crux of the matter that makes it such a bloody good laugh for those Blues fans: Raphinha, like Willian, probably doesn’t ‘hate’ Arsenal, but he clearly prefers Chelsea. Both wing

 Chelsea hero warns Tuchel against move for Neymar in favour of Barcelona star. Chelsea hero Gustavo Poyet has warned Thomas Tuchel against a move for Neymar this summer as he believes the PSG star would struggle to adapt to the Premier League. The Brazilian has been linked with a move away from the French giants this summer, with the Blues mooted as a possible landing spot. Compatriot Thiago Silva urged the forward to join him at Stamford Bridge earlier this week, after PSG ‘opened the door’ to his exit. “He has to go to Chelsea. If it happens, it will be for the best. He needs no comments,” Silva said. “So far, I don’t know anything, but I hope it comes to fruition.” But Poyet has warned his former side against the move, instead urging them to “prioritise” a move for Ousmane Dembele from Barcelona. “Chelsea shouldn’t try to sign Neymar,” Poyet told Lord Ping. “I think he will stay at PSG. I think after [Kylian] Mbappe announced he was staying and with their ambition to try and win th

 How Chelsea are getting closer to seal £50m “World Class” star signed Real Madrid, Premier League giants, Chelsea are now understood to be closing in on a deal to sign Manchester City promising defender, Nathan Ake in a potential £40million agreement. Ake, 27 has found himself down the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium under the watch of Pep Guardiola despite the Spanish tactician alluring him to the club two years ago from Premier League side, AFC Bournemouth in a whooping £41million deal. However, the Blues’ head coach Thomas Tuchel sees him as the perfect player to lead his defensive line at the Stamford Bridge with the German being a long-time admirer of his top notch qualities at the back. Meanwhile, Sevilla star Jules Kounde remains a defensive priority for the London club with talks between them and the Spanish side believed to be ongoing.

 Chelsea could offer £50 million plus Emerson to complete deal for 27-year-old. Several players have recently been associated with Chelsea. Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio is the most recent player on their radar, and according to Gazzetta Dello Sport via Sport Witness, the club is “attempting the lunge” for him. The Serb is content in Rome, but there is enough interest in him that Le Aquile may find it challenging to keep him beyond the summer. The 27-year-old midfielder has already turned down offers from Newcastle United and Arsenal, and the Blues are now the newest team to express interest in him. The Blues have qualified for the UEFA Champions League, and he wants to play in it. Real Madrid may be his ideal team, but the European Champions are set up in the middle. In addition to just announcing the acquisition of AS Monaco’s Aurelien Tchouameni, Los Blancos signed Edouardo Camavinga last year. There have reportedly been some preliminary discussions between Chelsea and Milinkovic

Despite finishing third, the west Londoners trailed behind Liverpool and Manchester City by some distance. With several damning departures to contend with, too, the Chelsea boss is seemingly keen to see his ambitions matched by the club's new owners. And, since the American-led consortium spearheaded by Todd Boehly took the helm at Stamford Bridge, the Blues have looked poised to become one of Europe's most feared outfits in the summer transfer window.

A perfect one for the blues.

 So, Chelsea currently don’t have a sporting director, so are the players now taking that role? So, Chelsea currently don’t have a sporting director, so are the players now taking that role? I’m joking of course, but it is true that Marina Granovskaia will be leaving the club and Todd Boehly, the new owner, has taken on the role of sporting director on an interim basis. So, why do I ask if the players are now taking the role of sporting director? Well, due to an exclusive report written by Andy Dillon of The Sun last night. He claims that Everton striker Richarlison has emerged as a key target for Chelsea this summer to replace Romelu Lukaku, who is off to Inter Milan on loan. The report claims that Richarlison, Raheem Sterling and Ousmane Dembele have all been heavily linked with moves to Stamford Bridge and all would be considered great additions by the current squad. But fiery Brazilian Richarlison’s characteristic aggression and tenacity are seen as decisive factors in the minds of

 New Chelsea chairman taken big hit on Lukaku.. but he's easily replaceable. ROMELU LUKAKU will be surprisingly easy to replace, despite costing Chelsea £97.5million. The club’s most expensive player scored only eight Premier League goals in his doomed year back at Stamford Bridge, so will hardly be missed. But the first business for the new-look board of Chelsea directors, which was unveiled yesterday, was to swallow hard and accept a sizeable financial and reputational hit on a lame duck striker. The paltry £7m loan fee Chelsea are receiving for sending Lukaku back to Inter Milan is embarrassing in itself. As it stands, fledgling club chairman Todd Boehly is today staring at a £90.5m loss on one player just 24 hours after officially taking up position at the Bridge. That would be enough to buy Manchester City’s incoming jewel Erling Haaland — and leave just shy of £40m change! Champions City and Liverpool are the teams Chelsea need to catch if they want to regain the Premier Leag

 Chelsea receive transfer boost in bid to sign Lens ace Jonathan Clauss. CHELSEA'S transfer pursuit of Lens ace Jonathan Clauss has received a major boost as the French side have signed another right back. The Blues are on the hunt for defensive reinforcements after incumbent full-backs Ben Chilwell and Reece James missed chunks of last season due to injury. And to avoid a similar scenario in the upcoming campaign, Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has set his sights on Clauss. Tuchel's been impressed by the 29-year-old's form over the past few campaigns, which has seen him feature in the Ligue 1 team of the season twice, consecutively. Clauss' stellar form also earned him his first France cap in March. The French ace showed his attacking prowess last season, bagging five goals along with eleven assists. Chelsea should have no problem snapping up Clauss who previously revealed it's his dream to join the Blues. And Lens have pre-empted his exit by recruiting Angers star Jimmy

 Chelsea got 'green light' to sign the 'perfect' wing-back, talks have already started. Reports suggest Chelsea are prepared to secure a deal for RC Lens wing-back Jonathan Clauss now. According to The Express, the Blues are set to complete a deal following the French club announcing the signing of Jimmy Cabot from Angers. Clauss was featuring in the third division of French football as recently as 2017, although has broken through to become one of the most consistent players in Ligue 1. He has been named in the league’s team of the season for the last two years, outing prior Chelsea target Achraf Hakimi this time round. He has developed his game to become a sensational wing-back, with current head coach Franck Haise describing him as having the ‘perfect’ attributes for the role. This has obviously attracted interest from Thomas Tuchel’s men, with the German likely to operate a three-at-the-back formation again next season This, alongside Lens investing already, has giv

NEWS: Confirmed: Chelsea Complete First Signing Of Todd Boehly Era. Chelsea have kicked off the Todd Boehly period with the signing of young and talented star Eddie Seaside from Southampton. Boehly has taken an energetic function in Chelsea’s summer activity after shopping for the membership from Roman Abramovich, with chairman Bruce Buck and director Marina Granovskaia each leaving Stamford Bridge. Whereas his focus has been on signing first-team stars, the primary signing of his time in cost is definitely for the academy, with 18-year-old Seaside becoming a member of the fold. A payment was agreed between the two parties previous week and the young shot stopper has now formally accomplished his transfer to the Blues. “We’re very happy to deliver Eddie to the club,” mentioned assistant head of youth growth and head of youth recruitment Jim Fraser. “He’s a proficient goalkeeper with good potential and can be a part of our growth squad for the approaching season.” Seaside, who was a par

  The Better Suited Option For Chelsea This Season Is This Attacker.

 Chelsea have secret weapon to complete £86m Christopher Nkunku transfer deal. Lukaku's £8million loan departure is all but completed with the Belgian scheduled for a medical very soon and Todd Boehly and Chelsea can concentrate on replacing him and building a squad for Thomas Tuchel to challenge Liverpool and Manchester City for the Premier League title. Raheem Sterling is reportedly the number one target but there is a difference of around £10million between the two clubs' valuations, with City holding out for around a £45million fee in compromise. Despite initial feelings that Man City's number 7 would be a direct replacement for the club-record signing, this isn't thought to be the case as football.london understands that multiple attackers will be brought in as part of this needed revamp in the Blues' attack. This will include the signing of a new out-and-out striker. A sentiment that was echoed by The Athletic's Chelsea correspondent Simon Johnson in a rec

Antonio Rudiger reveals the Chelsea team-mate who Convinced him to sign for Real Madrid.. Former Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has explained how Mateo Kovacic played a pivotal role in encouraging him to join Real Madrid.  Rudiger was officially unveiled as a Madrid player on Monday morning after signing a four-year deal at the Bernabeu following the expiration of his Chelsea contract. The centre-back has recently explained how he 'spoke to Kovacic' and that the midfielder told him he would 'enjoy it' at the LigaLiga giants.  Speaking to Spanish news outlet Marca, Rudiger said it was his former Chelsea team-mate that convinced him to make the move to LaLiga.  Ruidger said Kovacic - who used to play for Real Madrid- told him it was the 'right step to do' and insisted he would 'enjoy himself' playing alongside the likes of Luka Modric.  Ruidger spoke to the press about the decision-making behind the move and revealed: 'To be honest I didn't spea

NEWS REPORT: Frank Lampard got the perfect revenge on Jose Mourinho after brutal Chelsea snub.  Frank Lampard soon got his revenge on Jose Mourinho after he was brutally stripped of any sort of farewell at Chelsea, despite serving the club for 13 years. Lampard who has gone down as one of Chelsea's legend at Stamford Bridge, making over 425 Premier League appearances for Blues, saw his career at West London took a sour turn after Mourinho decided to let him go. That same year, fellow legends John Terry and Didier Drogba were given a proper farewell, but the then 35-year-old, who believed he would be kept on at the club, opted against a big parade in Chelsea's final game of 2014 - only to be told the club would not be renewing his contract.  And if there is one thing the former England international regrets during his career, is exactly that.

 NEWS: Chelsea target right-back Jonathan Clauss to compete with Reece James. Chelsea are considering a move for Lens right-back Jonathan Clauss, according to reports in France. Thomas Tuchel needs to bolster all areas of his defence ahead of the new season following the departures of Antonio Rudiger and Andreas Christensen, while both Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Alonso could also leave the club before the end of the window. Azpilicueta was adept at covering for Reece James on Chelsea’s right flank, but according to French newspaper La Voix du Nord, the club are targeting Clauss if the Spaniard departs. The report claims that Chelsea have been monitoring Clauss’ performances in Ligue 1, while Lens are open to selling the 29-year-old if their €10 million (£8.5m) valuation is met. Clauss was Lens’ standout performer in Ligue 1 last season, providing 11 assists and scoring five goals during the campaign.
