Chelsea midfielder Eden hazard hasn’t done much to dampen the speculation surrounding his potential move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. Speaking about the upcoming clash against Arsenal in the Europa League Final, Hazard made it known that it would be his ‘perfect farewell’ to the club. The Belgian Captain admitted that the potential transfer is […]
Chelsea spent the winter transfer window chasing central midfielders, having let Cesc Fabregas leave for Monaco. They ended up with two prime targets, according to the rumours. Nico Barella of Cagliari and Leandro Paredes of Zenit. In the end they got neither, and ended the season with a seriously depleted central midfield unit. The transfer […]
Cesc Fabregas was a BT Sport pundit for last night’s final between his former clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, and he made some fascinating points not only about the game itself, but also about the way both clubs are run. When it came to Chelsea he was pretty scathing, referencing the way that the team always […]
Nobody was really sure what to expect from Chelsea in this game. The Blues have been so up and down this season that it was easy to predict a heavy loss – or an easy win. In the end, after a tense first half that saw the Gunners threaten repeatedly, Maurizio Sarri’s men came out […]
Chelsea go into tomorrow’s game in Baku with plenty of injury issues. It’s been a while since our last competitive game, but since then Ruben Loftus-Cheek and N’Golo Kante have ruled themselves out of the game. That means Maurizio Sarri has a lot of decisions to make – or in fact, a lot of those […]
It’s just one day until Chelsea take on Arsenal in the Europa League final in Baku, and with plenty of fans unable to get there, most are figuring out how they will actually watch the match. Of course some will love to go and watch down the pub, where there’s always a good atmosphere – […]
Yokohama have been the shirt sponsors of Chelsea since February of 2015. The Japanese tyre company pay Chelsea £40 million per year for the privilege, which made it the second-most lucrative shirt sponsorship deal behind Manchester United’s £50 million per year contract with Chevrolet. The deal is set to expire in 2020, which means that […]
3 Ways to Spend the Time Before the Game Starts We’ve all been there. We sit and we twiddle our thumbs in anticipation of the big game. That clock seems to tick ever so slowly and we start to question whether the clock is actually moving at all. How can you spend those awfully long […]
Chelsea face an extremely tough test in Baku against Arsenal this week, and even the biggest Maurizio Sarri fans would not say we are anything other than a similarly inconsistent team. With N’Golo Kante ruled out, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek a long term absentee in midfield too, we look weaker than ever, and despite not losing […]
Chelsea face a very tough test in Baku against Arsenal, especially if N’Golo Kante is injured as has been rumoured. Arsenal are a dangerous team, and one we have a bad recent record against. The Gunners have shaken off their hoodoo against us and now have the upper hand often when we meet. Our game […]
Victor Moses only joined Fenerbahce on loan back in January, but he’s now confirmed that he’ll be on the move once again this summer.

When Roman Abramovich joined Chelsea in 2003, no one could have predicted what the club would look like today — Abramovich has played a pivotal role in transforming Chelsea into the global brand it is has become. Without him, there is every chance that the Blues would not hold the position of influence and power […]
The fact that Juventus are apparently interested in Maurizio Sarri, and our belief in that rumour grows every day as the links continue to surface, it gives Chelsea an unexpected decision. If he’d won the Europa League, along with his third place in the table it would have been hard to sack him. It still […]
Gianluca Di Marzio has claimed that Chelsea have already made the decision to replace Maurizio Sarri with club legend Frank Lampard. While we firmly believe that Sarri deserves a second season at Chelsea, having achieved our season objectives, it can’t hurt to imagine what we’d look like under Lamps. Here’s how we predict that Chelsea’s […]
Chelsea winger Pedro has claimed that the team are on the verge of a ‘great season’. It just goes to show how far our standards have dropped. The Spaniard, who scored eight and assisted two in the league this season, is insistent that the squad will have achieved something this term if they win the […]
Chelsea loanee Victor Moses is wanted by former Blues boss Antonio Conte at Inter Milan, according to Sky Sports. Moses joined Turkish side Fenerbahce in January on a loan deal which runs until 2020, but Sky Sports believe that hasn’t prevented Inter from showing interest.

Chelsea will not prevent Maurizio Sarri from joining Juventus if they are willing to pay £5M in compensation, according to Standard Sport.

Brazilian outlet Diario Carioca have reported that Chelsea loanee Lucas Piazon is close to signing for Vasco da Gama. Our information refutes these claims. The report notes that Piazon’s contract comes to an end next month, with Vasco da Gama in pole position to secure his services soon after his departure from Chelsea. With Sport […]Maurizio Sarri should stay at Chelsea next season. Amid the continual talk regarding our manager’s future, it’s important to acknowledge what he has achieved during his debut campaign at Stamford Bridge. Here’s three reasons why we’d be mad to get rid of him. Objectives achieved Following the shocker of a season we had under Antonio […]
Chelsea loanee Reece James has emerged as a potential loan target for new Brighton manager Graham Potter, according to The Sun. Potter has recently taken charge of the Seagulls and is looking to ready his squad for another crack at avoiding the drop next term. James has subsequently been shortlisted. The Sun’s report also mentions […]
The Sun have been claiming that Brighton want Reece James on loan, but that move makes no sense. We’re sure that half the teams in the Premier League are interested in signing the young defender, but they’re not going to get him. With the transfer ban currently in place, Chelsea have lined themselves up perfectly […]
The news that Chelsea are set to appoint Petr Cech as a director of football can only be seen as good. Of course people will always find something to complain about – in this case his “lack of experience”, and there is merit in avoiding the idea that successful former players can solve everything. But […]News that N’Golo Kante will be fit for the Europa League final will have pleased many Chelsea fans, and may have swung the odds in our favour for this tie in Baku. Those looking for gambling deals will have seen the Blues’ odds shorten considerably, but that doesn’t mean there’s no value to be found. […]
There is plenty of talk that Sarri hasn’t been good enough this season, with his Chelsea side failing to get anywhere near Manchester City and Liverpool, who have stormed clear at the top of the Premier League. Yet, with a third-place finish, a Europa League final on the way and a disappointing penalty shoot-out defeat […]
There were reports in the Evening Standard yesterday that Chelsea are looking to move on Maurizio Sarri after the Europa League final, regardless of whether they win the trophy or not. The Italian would be replaced by Frank Lampard, who has his own big game next week, with Derby in the playoff final. The sacked […]
Chelsea go into this summer transfer window without actually knowing whether they can sign players. It will all depend on the results of CAS’ investigation into the transfer ban handed to us by FIFA. If we could bring new players in, for one window at least, what would we prioritise? The first need of this […]
Listen to some Chelsea fans and you’d forget we have a transfer ban at all. Blues are so confident that the Court of Arbitration for Sport is going to at least freeze our punishment that they are behaving exactly as though it didn’t exist at all. All the speculation for this summer has returned to […]
Two of Chelsea’s loan army will be informed that they are to stay if Chelsea’s transfer ban remains in place this summer, according to The Sun.

Tiemoue Bakayoko will be heading back to Stamford Bridge, with AC Milan opting against purchasing the Frenchman on a permanent basis. This information comes from Italian outlet Calciomercato, who report that after much deliberation Milan have come to the decision to let Bakayoko leave. Bakayoko has been impressive for the Rossoneri this term, but with […]According to the Telegraph, Chelsea have not yet opened talks over extending Gonzalo Higuain’s stay at Stamford Bridge. Higuain was thought to be the solution to our goal-scoring woes, but has proven to be yet another contributor to the problem. As a result, the Telegraph believe that Chelsea have gone cold on the idea of […]
Matt Law has published a report for the Telegraph which suggests that Chelsea may opt against freezing the transfer ban.

There has never been a better time for Chelsea to cash-in on left-back Marcos Alonso – and it looks as though we may be given an opportunity to do so. AS report that Atletico Madrid are keen on signing the Spain international. Filipe Luis is set to walk out the door (again) and Alonso has […]
Chelsea have secured Champions League football for 2019-20, thanks to a top-four finish in the Premier League – but they had to labour to get the job done. The Blues are also set to face a fiercely contested transfer embargo, which could hamper their European preparations. This could also have serious implications elsewhere, given the […]
Maurizio Sarri will have another winger at his disposal this coming pre-season, with Kenedy set to return to the club from his loan at Newcastle United. After a promising end of season spell at St. James’ Park in 2018, Newcastle opted to take Kenedy on loan for a full campaign this time around. It’s safe […]
There’s no Chelsea return on the cards for Alvaro Morata. He appears set on remaining at Atletico Madrid for the foreseeable future. Morata returned to Madrid in January, with the Spaniard unable to improve his performances under the stewardship of Maurizio Sarri. He has enjoyed an upturn in form at the Wanda Metropolitano and appears […]
The news that Ruben Loftus-Cheek had suffered an Achilles injury just weeks after Callum Hudson-Odoi was absolutely sickening for any Chelsea fan. We’ve waited ten years for young players from the academy to make it to the first team, and just as two of them managed it, they’ve been snatched away so cruelly. There’s always […]
If you were planning to go on a football betting site and bet on Chelsea, then there is something you should be aware of.

Antoine Griezmann yesterday announced that he would be leaving Atletico Madrid this window, one of those big money summer moves which is set to knock over all manner of dominoes. His expected destination is Barcelona, who are going to pay €125 for the Frenchman. He will be the forward they’re looking for, and will take […]
Here’s an interesting thought experiment from Betway now we’ve reached the end of the season. What would have happened if you’d bet on Chelsea to win every game this season in the Premier League? Would you have made money? More money than you would have made if you’d bet on them to lose every game? […]
In 2016 William Hill signed a three-year deal to make them the official betting partner of Chelsea. The deal meant that the popular sportsbook would host a match day betting service at Stamford Bridge, as well as occupying the team’s pitch side advertising boards and other social media posts. However, whilst William Hill and Chelsea […]Spanish radio last night was going through the plans of Atletico Madrid for this summer, and there was one key element to the plans of Diego Simeone’s team. Antoine Griezmann looks as though he may decide to leave this summer, and Diego Costa’s future is very uncertain too. That means the Spanish team are desperately […]
Eden Hazard started on the bench against Leicester yesterday, and sure enough the real action came after the game. Journalists in the mixed zone hurried to their Twitter apps to announce “quotes from the Belgian coming at 10.30!”, but when the fateful hour came, the results were a little disappointing. Simon Johnson’s piece in the […]
While this has very much been the season of Raheem Sterling when it comes to Man City, Bernardo Silva has also been lauded throughout as a key component of Pep Guardiola’s colossus as they’ve racked up another massive points haul. The Portuguese is a perfect blend of skill and hard work. He runs his socks […]
Tammy Abraham just can’t stop scoring for Aston Villa. He’s the main man, and he’s put them on track to reach the playoff final at Wembley! Abraham had 25 goals heading into today’s clash with West Brom, but even that wasn’t enough for him. He added to his account from the spot in emphatic fashion. […]
Christian Pulisic said his goodbyes to the Borussia Dortmund home faithful ahead of his side’s clash with Dusseldorf this afternoon – and he’s marked his farewell with a goal! Ahead of kick-off, the American was honoured by the club and thanked for his efforts as he prepares to take the plunge into Premier League football […]Luka Jovic could have drawn a blank against Chelsea over two legs and he still would have been a prime target for us. The forward has been absolutely savaging the Bundesliga this year, and it’s no wonder plenty of top teams are after him. In fact, the Serbian forward scored in both games against us, […]
Former Chelsea captain John Terry has been made the brand ambassador of BK8, which is Asia’s biggest brands in the online gambling industry as confirmed by one of the leading UK Online Casinos Comparison sites.

Chelsea have managed to stumble over the line into the Champions League this season, but they are still falling further behind the competition in a lot of areas, and four major elements of the club are absent or in doubt, making progress very difficult. Firstly the manager. Maurizio Sarri has this week seen growing links […]
Andreas Christensen has had a season of mostly playing against smaller teams in the cup competitions.
