We were ninth in the league, but ended [the season] in fourth and won the Champions League. He definitely made me a better player."  When asked why he didn't join Bayern in 2020, Havertz said: "Bayern is a huge club and for me, especially as a German, it's difficult to say no - but my goal has always been to play abroad and see a new country." However, the allure remains. Indeed, saying no "would still be difficult!" As for r

Right now, my goal and my attention is focused on Roma: we want to finish the season strong,” said the English striker. “I still haven’t started thinking about anything other than being here and doing my best. I’m not in a hurry. Maybe I’ll stay at Roma for the next ten years, or maybe not. You never know what’s around the corner,” added the 25-year-old. “Mourinho? He is a legend. I love him. He’s what we call a real boss. He is a leader. When he speaks, you listen to him. He knows how to manage his men, he is one of the

EXCLUSIVE: Noni Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian father in heart-warming story of his childhood and rise to football success.

 NoNI Madueke reveals he got his self-confidence from his Nigerian dad, while telling the story of his childhood, and his rise to football success.  Chelsea star, Noni Madueke has disclosed in an interview, the source of his self-confidence. Recall, Chelsea had signed Madueke from PSV Eindhoven in the just concluded transfer window. While he's yet to get more playing time, Noni Madueke has clearly impressed with the few minutes given him to perform. Worthy of mention is his mentality and self-confidence in his interviews at a young age. The Chelsea starlet has never stopped speaking of how much he will come good for Chelsea, with goals, and his ambition to win big for the club.  That determination to succeed certainly seems to have served Madueke well during his early career and later as he forged his own path through the professional game which has now brought him to Stamford Bridge. In the winger’s opinion, it is something he has always possessed, and he considers it an essential

Manchester City heavily interested in £190,000-per-week Chelsea star and could go all out to sign him.

 Manchester City are genuinely interested in signing the Chelsea defender.  Per the Athletic, Manchester City are genuinely interested in signing Chelsea left-back, Ben Chilwell.  Since signing for the Blues, Ben Chilwell has been an important part of the Chelsea squad, although injuries have hindered him from being a large part of Chelsea's campaign this season, and last season. His return from injuries prove how integral he is to Chelsea's form as his impact is often felt.  Marc Cucurella had been signed as a backup for the England star. Although poor for a large part of the 2022/23 campaign, the Spaniard is slowly getting back to his best, bagging the MOTM award in Chelsea's recent display against Dortmund in the Champions League. With Chelsea believed to be looking to offload players this summer, Manchester City believe Ben Chilwell is one of those players the Blues could offload, following Cucurella's signing.  Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell is said to be the subjec

Report: Chelsea now back in race for £119,000-per-week attacker who Thomas Tuchel really wanted at Stamford Bridge last summer.

 Per reports, Chelsea are back in contention for the former Leeds United winger.  Reports from Spain have claimed that Chelsea are interested again in signing Raphinha next summer. According to Sport, the Blues are one of the clubs who could potentially help Barcelona with their financial issues by signing the Brazilian after less than a year at the club. Recall Chelsea had been close to sealing a deal with Leeds United for the winger in the summer of 2022, but Raphinha's preference for Barcelona had stalled the deal. The deal hasn’t been a complete success so far, with him at times not being part of the starting side at the Nou Camp. Their European exploits have been a notable failure too. After going out in the group stage of the Champions League, they fell at the first hurdle in the Europa League to Manchester United. With them now in a position again where they need to raise funds to act in the transfer window, there has been talk of who could leave in order to bring in that mo

Chelsea complete hijack of highly-rated Jamaican attacker from Newcastle with pre-contract agreement already signed.

 Chelsea have completed the signing of the Jamaican wonderkid. Chelsea have reached a full agreement with Phoenix All Stars to sign Dujuan Richards. After impressing on trial with Newcastle, Chelsea officials travelled to Jamaica to hijack the deal.  Richards, 17 currently plays as an attacker and is a schoolboy at Kingston College.

Wesley Fofana responds to explicit mock chant aimed at him from Leicester City fans during clash on Saturday.

 Wesley Fofana has responded to chants from Leicester City fans on Saturday.  The former Leicester City star had featured in Saturday's clash while filling in for the injured Thiago Silva.  The 22-year-old swapped the midlands for west London in the summer for around £70million — and the home support at the King Power Stadium doesn't appear to have taken his exit very well. In the video, Leicester fans were heard singing a new song about the Chelsea defender to the tune of 'Hey Baby' by DJ Ötzi. The song in question which has gone viral on Twitter goes: "Wesleyyyy, Wesley Fofanaaaa, ooh aah, I wanna' knooooooow why you're such a ****!" Fofana saw the funny side of the song by quote retweeting post with two love-heart-eyed emojis. His tweet, which is essentially mocking the Leicester fan on social media has, as it stands, managed to garner nearly ten times as many likes. 

Newcastle United agree audacious deal to land £325,000-a-week Chelsea flop in the summer.

 Newcastle United have agreed to land the Chelsea star in the summer. Newcastle United are planning to make an audacious move for Romelu Lukaku next summer, per Italian outlet Calciomercato. However, the report adds that any potential deal for Lukaku is dependent on whether Newcastle secure a top-four finish this term. The magpies currently sit third on the table with 30 points and are looking to strengthen their attack in the coming months.  The Belgian earns a whooping £325,000-per-week wage and has been out of favor with the Blues hierarchy, including the fans after performing below expectations, plus his famous controversial interview with Sky Sports.  He is currently on loan with Inter Milan and could make a full return to the Premier League should Newcastle United sign him on a permanent deal. On the flip side, Lukaku is currently struggling with his form after recovering from injury, and is not at his best. A move to Chelsea had not favored him, and would likely not perform sh
