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 […]

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 […]
Chelsea have a lot of work to do this summer in order to make sure Xabi Alonso has a squad capable of competing. Most feel that it involves signing proven and experienced players. Of course, that would mean spending big on transfer fees and on wages, something that the Blues have been reluctant to do […]
It is quite clear that Enzo Fernandez is open to exploring a Chelsea exit this summer. In fact, he has openly talked about wanting to live in Madrid someday, and has never ruled out the possibility of leaving, always keeping that door open. That does not automatically mean that a move will go through unless […]
The summer transfer window has not even started yet and already, some of the positivity is dripping away from Chelsea. The fans had been excited by the appointment of Xabi Alonso. But it has always been clear that the club needed to back him properly in the summer transfer window in order to get things […]
Marc Cucurella has been linked with a move away from Chelsea for quite some time. Reports in Spain have gone as far as claiming he is certain to play in La Liga from next season. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been suggested as the two most likely destinations. Real Madrid have been loosely brought up […]
For the past few weeks, it is Barcelona who have been linked with Chelsea players. Joao Pedro was viewed as one of their top targets, if they failed to get Julian Alvarez.
