Official: Napoli sign Benoît Badiashile on loan from Chelsea
Benoît Badiashile has completed his move to SSC Napoli, joining them for a season-long loan that could turn into a permanent transfer thanks to the included buy-option, reportedly set at €27m. Up front, Napoli are paying just €3+1m, in addition to covering all wages. It’s a decent bit of business for a player who’s been […]
How should Chelsea line up against Fulham to begin the new season?
We’re still over 48 hours away from Chelsea’s first game of the season, making the short journey to Craven Cottage for a bit of Monday Night Football, so until then, we can rest safely in the knowledge that we’re completely unbeaten and definitely going to have a great season. This will be Xabi Alonso’s first […]
Official: João Pedro signs new Chelsea contract
After a successful debut season that saw him become our first 20-goal striker in nearly a decade, João Pedro has today put pen to paper on a new contract, which now ties him to the club for the next eight years, through 2034. Of course, the length of the contract was never the crux of […]

Impressive Here we go Rejected
AS Roma submit official loan offer for Jamie Gittens — report
AS Roma are still looking for reinforcements on the wing — they were linked with Alejandro Garnacho earlier this window, for example — and are said to be “very interested” in Jamie Gittens, which is Calciomercato-speak for trying to get a deal and a steal via a loan. Ol’e HotDays himself, Alfredo Pedullà makes the […]
Chelsea reject Leeds United’s opening offer for the loan of Mykhailo Mudryk — report
Mykhailo Mudryk looks set to go on loan this season as he comes back to playing football following his 20-month ban for a doping charge that was eventually dropped, and it looks like there’s some decent bit of interest in the 25-year-old speedy winger. While Mudryk did take part in our preseason tour, it was […]
RC Strasbourg, Chelsea agree Deivid Washington transfer; Omari Kellyman, Dário Essugo could follow — report
Forgotten man Deivid Washington looks set to close the Chelsea chapter of his young career, having reportedly agreed a permanent move to sister-club RC Strasbourg. According to L’Equipe, the BlueCo beancounters are recording this as a €10m transaction, which is a fairly hefty valuation for a player with a grand total of three (3) senior […]
Shakhtar Donetsk to play Champions League ‘home’ games at Stamford Bridge this season
Shakhtar Donetsk, who have not been able to play games in actual Donetsk since 2014 (due to all the conflict in the region with Russia), have been looking for a stadium fit for Champions League football this season, and after many weeks of negotiations, and just a few weeks before the group stage begins, have […]
Xabi Alonso happy with Chelsea’s ‘right choices’, squad balance, and Enzo Fernández, too
We’re now just a few days away from Chelsea’s first game of the new season — Monday night against Fulham at Craven Cottage — and hopefully the start of a brand new and greatly successful era as well under the guidance of Xabi Alonso. In a recent survey by The Athletic, the Chelsea fanbase ranked […]

Close Deal Leak?
Leeds United, Nottingham Forest, Everton in £40-50m ‘race’ for Liam Delap — report
In what feels like maybe a typo with an extra zero added, there are, as per Ben Jacobs & Co, three teams in “the race” for Chelsea striker Liam Delap with a potential £40-50m deal awaiting the winner at the finish line. A deal and a steal, if we’re being honest! Where else could you […]

Chelsea confirm 2025-26 squad numbers, including a cursed choice by João Pedro
The new season is just a few days away now, and ahead of that official first kick, Chelsea have confirmed the shirt numbers that the players will wear. And there are a couple surprising changes in that list beyond just the usual revisions due to various comings and goings in the squad. And the one […]
Crystal Palace, Chelsea agree Axel Disasi loan — report
As expected, Axel Disasi is heading to Crystal Palace. Unfortunately and somewhat unexpectedly — or perhaps expectedly? — he is heading there only just on loan. And there’s not even a buy-option! That’s definitely unexpected. According to RMC Sport’s Fabrice Hawkins, Palace and Chelsea have a “verbal agreement” over all this, with Palace now needing […]
Official: Wigan Athletic sign Reggie Walsh on loan from Chelsea
It feels like Reggie Walsh has been around forever, but that’s just because he made his senior debut aged 16.5 — third youngest in club history, as well as our youngest ever player in European competition. He’s gone on to feature four times for the first-team in the last two seasons, but now that he’s […]

Over a dozen Chelsea players still need their futures sorted
There are a little less than two weeks left in the summer transfer window, and there are a little more than a dozen Chelsea players who still need their futures sorted during that time. The exact number is a bit hard to define as some might have the option to simply stick around in the […]

Mark Walter and Todd Boehly ‘in talks’ to sell Chelsea shares to Clearlake Capital — reports
Chelsea’s ownership structure could get quite a bit simplified in the near future as the Financial Times reports that Todd Boehly and Mark Walter are “in talks” to sell their stakes in the club to majority owners Clearlake Capital (i.e. Behdad Eghbali and José E. Feliciano). The private investment firm partnered with Boehly and Walter […]
Chelsea value Pedro Neto ‘at close to £100m’ — report
Pedro Neto has found himself subject to some fresh transfer rumors this weekend, linking him with not only Community Shied losers Manchester City, but another sovereign state-funded entity in Al-Hilal. Some reports had gone even as far as to suggest that the Saudi Pro League side had personal terms in place with the 26-year-old winger […]

Al-Hilal also linked with Pedro Neto — reports
Pedro Neto started and played 75 minutes in yesterday’s 3-1 friendly win over Real Sociedad, but the 26-year-old winger’s future at Chelsea may not be fully assured. He had been rumored to be of interest for Enzo Maresca at Manchester City over the past few weeks — though not seriously enough for us to set […]

Chelsea 3-1 Real Sociedad, Friendly: Post-match reaction
Sunny day at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea take on Real Sociedad for our last preseason match before the 2026-27 officially begins. It fit our general spirit as the Blues seemed eager to show home fans a better side of Xabi Alonso’s football. The hosts didn’t take long to take over the pitch and start creating […]
Chelsea vs. Real Sociedad, Friendly: Lineups & Game Thread
Final preseason match of Xabi Alonso’s first year at helm for the Blues. We take on Real Sociedad at home in a match where the only TV coverage worldwide is a channel from the Basque Country, where our opponents are from. It should be an interesting match given our entire squad is now available. Including […]
