Chelsea have been handed a major boost to their hopes of signing Kylian Mbappe this summer – but there’s one issue. The 24-year-old forward faces an increasingly uncertain future in the French capital at the moment, with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire in 12-months. According to Spanish outlet Sport, Mbappe is willing to test himself at Stamford Bridge on the basis that he signs one-year deal, granting him the freedom to explore his options at the end of next season.

Liverpool might be having a more chaotic summer than it is used to, but it can draw plenty of comfort from a glance around the rest of the Big Six.

Aaron Ramsdale: Probably lucky not to concede right at the beginning of the second half when Ben Yedder hit the post but that wasn’t his fault. Well positioned when called upon. Goal kicks could do with a little more variety though. Saved a penalty in the shootout to earn hero status for the day! 6. William Saliba: Came off too early to get a second half rating. n/a. Jakub Kiwior: Switched back out to right centre back and did OK there too. Seems as though he’ll have a much more important role going into next season after taking a while to get going in his…

The midfielder was acquired for 27 million euros on a seven-year contract with an option to extend it by another year from French club Stade Rennais.

Coach Pochettino stated…
Lukaku returned to Stamford Bridge for a second spell in 2021, with the Blues forking out £97.5 million to sign him from Inter Milan. However, he scored just eight goals and headed back to Inter Milan on loan after becoming unhappy in west London.
