Chelsea Reports

 John Terry has given his verdict on Chelsea's future captaincy role in the past.  The time is coming when Chelsea will need to choose their new captain. The nominees are obvious, but the obvious choice might not be the best. The John Terry and Frank Lampard partnership is probably the best co-captaincy you could imagine. Chelsea was blessed to see their most successful years with Terry leading the line with Lampard right behind him. Both are amazing servants of the Chelsea badge. As we go into a new era, new captaincy would need to be decided. It's not about how long you have played in the first team, and it's about how hard you are willing to fight for the badge. Current Chelsea captain, Cesar Azpilicueta is on the verge of departing the club, and it remains to be seen who will replace him in the role.  However, former Blues captain John Terry has already given his verdict on who should be Chelsea's captain after Cesar Azpilicueta in the past. The former Chelsea capta

Per Sky sports, Mauricio Pochettino has already named his number one goalkeeper despite Andre Onana and numerous goalkeeper links.  Chelsea have been repeatedly linked with moves for new 'keepers this summer including Inter Milan's Andre Onana and Brighton's Robert Sanchez but Pochettino is understood to be happy with Kepa and the club are not currently pursuing moves for either player, and they are unlikely to do so However, Pochettino is understood to be happy with Kepa and the club are not currently pursuing moves for either player, and they are unlikely to do so. Chelsea have other priorities in the transfer market both in terms of outgoings and incomings. However, they may look in the market for a new number two if a strong bid comes in for Edouard Mendy and the player wants to leave. Names also linked with the goalkeeping position at Chelsea include Mike Maignan, Wojciech Szczesny and Emi Martinez. 

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has insisted Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis will decide his future amid interest from Chelsea. The Nigeria international scored 25 goals in Serie A as Napoli claimed their first league title since 1990. His goal helped Napoli finish an incredible 16 points clear at the top. “I don’t know, the President has to decide that,” Osimhen said. “I love the people of Napoli, they have shown me so much love. For me, I don’t mind, the president decides and I will just go with the flow.” “I appreciate the Neapolitans a lot, they deserve this and hopefully we’ll have many more trophies to come,” he added. “It’s an amazing feeling for me, I won the Scudetto, which is the most important thing in my career so far. I am grateful to God for this season, for my teammates, my family, for the Neapolitans and they deserve all of this. “This season has been brilliant for me, my teammates and the Neapolitans. I think I’ve done so well this season and deserve every good th

 The Chelsea Manager wants the £70M man in his squad at all costs.  Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino has ‘specifically asked’ for Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo as a N’Golo Kante replacement, journalist Rudy Galetti has told GIVEMESPORT. They are poised to enter a transfer saga with Arsenal, however, as Mikel Arteta has also earmarked the Brighton midfielder as a long-term midfield option. 90min have reported that the west Londoners are considering a double swoop for both Caicedo and West Ham captain Declan Rice. However, their London rivals Arsenal have ‘agreed terms’ with the Brighton sensation, per The Sun. As we enter the early embers of the summer window, Caicedo will be a potential focal point of a saga between the duo from the capital - but not for the first time. Both clubs involved in the race had submitted bids rejected in January but instead, the 21-year-old signed an extension until 2027, with the south coast side in an unforeseen turn of events. Caicedo, who is valu

 The Blues are ready to make the £120M player N'Golo Kanté's replacement. Chelsea have now been tipped to pay West Ham’s £120m asking price for Declan Rice this summer. It was Graeme Bailey who made the claim as Loaded Mag NUFC sat down for a chat about transfers with the journalist on YouTube. So, what was said about Chelsea and Declan Rice? Let’s take a look… What’s the story? Well, it was said that Chelsea are likely to pay West Ham’s asking price for the England international this summer, and the Blues may be the only side to do so with Arsenal and Manchester United also keen. Bailey said: “With Declan Rice, I think Chelsea would pay (West Ham’s asking price). I think they probably will and that’s where they may win out. They may be the last man standing.” According to Sky Sports reporter Anton Toloui, the Hammers value their No.41 at £120m this summer, and Bayern Munich are also among the favourites to sign him. Rice – who has been called “phenomenal” by Mark Noble – is se

 Mauricio Pochettino could sign the next Ronaldinho for Chelsea.  Per multiple reports, Chelsea have begun concrete talks to sign Neymar Jr from PSG this summer.  Dubbed the next Ronaldinho, Neymar spent four incredibly successful years in Catalonia before making a world record move to Paris in 2017. He has since shone for the Ligue 1 giants, scoring 118 times in 173 matches. At 31 and with injury issues and uncertainty over what is to come at the Parc des Princes, Neymar has once more been linked with a move away. The club's reportedly on the radar to sign him include Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea. However, Barcelona boss Xavi has denied wanting anything to do with the 31-year-old at the club: "I really like Ney as a friend, but we have different priorities," Xavi continued. With Barcelona out of the way it could open the door to Chelsea and ambitious owner Todd Boehly once more. Even without Champions League football, Boehly is keen to add a superstar name to

 Per reports from Fabrizio Romano, Harry Maguire and four other Manchester United players are keen on leaving the club.  Recall Manchester United had involved Harry Maguire in their deal as part-exchange for Mason Mount and Stamford Bridge could be his next destination should the Blues hierarchy permit.  However, per new reports, four United players are also keen on a move away from old Trafford, and Chelsea could be their next destination should any of them be involved in a deal for Mason Mount.  These players include Wout Weghorst, Dean Henderson, Donny Van-de-Beek with Maguire inclusive.  In 2021, Chelsea had offered £50M to sign Henderson during Frank Lampard's tenure at the Bridge, a bid which was rejected by Manchester United. With the English star failing to have playing time at United, and with Chelsea in need of goalkeeping options to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga and Edouard Mendy, the Blues could salvage a move for Henderson who is currently on loan at Nottingham Forest.  Wi

 Mauricio Pochettino could land Chelsea their next Eden Hazard if he gets this deal done. OPINION|© Football Fancast Vinicius Jr could be Chelsea's next Eden Hazard. Chelsea endured a dismal campaign and are mired in a 12th-placed finish, but that has not stopped the rumour mill linking the prestigious Premier League outfit with Real Madrid prodigy Vinicius Junior. What's the latest on Vinicius Junior to Chelsea? That's following reports from Spain late last month, who claim that the Blues - alongside Manchester United and Newcastle United - are interested in luring the Brazilian phenom away from the Spanish capital for a staggering €150m (£129m) fee. The forward has been one of the central figures behind Real Madrid's success over recent years, and new Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino could craft one of football's greatest strike forces by clinching Vinicius Jr. Madrid signed the 22-year-old from Brazilian outfit Flamengo for £38m in 2018, when he was just 16, b

 West Ham United want to reinforce both their midfield and attack. They are big admirers of the Chelsea duo.  West Ham are “big admirers” of Chelsea pair Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi, according to ExWHUEmployee. The Hammers insider claims that the two players are very much on the club’s radar, although there is still a great deal of “uncertainty” about the club’s transfer targets due to doubts about the future of manager David Moyes: "With the arrival of Pochettino this summer there are players that are being made available by them as they undertake a clear-out. Players to keep an eye on are Conor Gallagher and Callum Hudson-Odoi as we are known to be big admirers. The fact they are set to be moved on is a big appeal to West Ham. "However, I must stress that with a lot of uncertainty at present with our manager’s future, a possible new Director of Football appointment, European football next season and our captain’s future currently unknown – any target list will no

 Per reports from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are keeping tabs on the Manchester United target.  •Fabrizio Romano confirms Chelsea are keeping tabs on 20-year-old Serie A ace on Man United’s radar. • Fabrizio Romano claims Chelsea have sent scouts to watch Manchester United target Rasmus Hojlund.  According to Fabrizio Romano, Manchester United, and Chelsea have both sent scouts to see Atalanta star Rasmus Hojlund. Additionally, the Blues have discussed the young player’s potential transfer to Chelsea with Atlanta’s chief executive, Luca Percassi. The 20-year-old has also informed the Serie A powerhouses that he plans to leave the team during the summer transfer window. This season, the Danish striker has been remarkable, tallying 15 goals in all competitions. Although United are keen on signing the youngster, Chelsea could scupper their plans. Chelsea’s struggles to score goals have been made clear this year, and the Blues would like a top striker to adapt to the Premier League and at le

 The Chelsea star really wants to play under Mauricio Pochettino. According to the Mirror, Chelsea midfielder, Conor Gallagher is keen on staying at Stamford Bridge this season and is willing to work under Pochettino amid interest from Newcastle United. Newcastle want to sign Gallagher from Premier League rivals Chelsea in the summer transfer window. However, according to the report, the midfielder wants to stay at the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winner and “may have cooled on a potential move” to the Magpies. Mauricio Pochettino is the new manager of Chelsea, and the Argentine gave chances to home-grown players when he was the head coach of Tottenham Hotspur. Gallagher has reportedly been encouraged by that. However, the 23-year-old England international midfielder may not get his wish. On May 28, talkSPORT reported that Chelsea hierarchy want to sell the youngster in the summer of 2023 because they have not been convinced by him. The Chelsea bosses do not think th
