According to a report by Fichajes, Chelsea are keen on signing a new striker in the near future and they have their eyes set on Dusan Vlahovic. The 23-year-old was subject to a lot of interest from across Europe throughout the summer, but he ended up staying at Juventus. However, the interest in his services remains intact, and clubs could push for him in the winter. After proving himself in Serie A while playing for Fiorentina, Vlahovic joined Juventus in the winter of 2022. He has managed to score goals every now and then but has not had the kind of…
Maatsen is a 21-year-old left-back who can also operate further forward as a left midfielder. He spent time in both the Feyenoord and PSV youth setups before joining Chelsea U18s in July 2018. Maatsen had temporary spells at Charlton and Coventry before heading to Burnley on loan last season. The Dutchman went on to become an important player for Burnley, registering four goals and six six assists in 39 Championship games to help Vincent Kompany’s side win the second tier title. Maatsen is now back at Chelsea. However, that does not mean reports surrounding his future have stopped. Indeed, on September 5 Fabrizio…
Former Chelsea defender, Frank Leboeuf, has insisted that the club should have signed the likes of James Maddison, James Ward-Prowse and Youri Tielemens during the recent summer transfer window. Chelsea took their spending over the £1billion-mark under co-owner Todd Boehly since the takeover last year. The west London club signed several players, including the British record signing of Moises Caicedo from Premier League side Brighton, but didn’t go for Maddison, Ward-Prowse and Tielemens. “I look at Ward-Prowse and Maddison and they are doing so well. I have no idea why Chelsea didn’t move for either of those,” Leboeuf told CasinosEnLigne.…
Chelsea still retain an interest in AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan. That is according to a report from Calciomercato. Chelsea were linked with Mike Maignan in the summer and the Italian outlet claims that the Blues still like the Frenchman. The Evening Standard reported back in June that Chelsea had explored signing Maignan but were put off by Milan’s £80m price tag. In the end, the club went on to sign Robert Sanchez from Brighton & Hove Albion. Maignan is probably one of the best goalkeepers in the world, with his Milan team-mate and former Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud describing him as “unbelievable”.…
Chelsea boss, Mauricio Pochettino has revealed his plan to bring defender Marc Cucurella back to his squad following his failed move to Manchester United over the summer. Having lost Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia to injury, Man United sought to sign Cucurella on loan during the final week of the summer transfer window. Chelsea’s decision to play the former Brighton star in a Carabao Cup tie against AFC Wimbledon affected the move as Man United instead signed Sergio Reguilon from Tottenham Hotspur. Cucurella endured a torrid first season at Chelsea following his £65 million move last year from Brighton with…
Liverpool have requested to hear the audio recording of the interactions between the VAR officials and the on-field referee after Luis Diaz failed to be awarded a legitimate goal. As soon as replays showed Diaz was clearly in front of the last Tottenham defender and no evidence of the offside lines on Sky Sports’ coverage, something felt amiss. It later proved true with the PGMOL admitting a “significant human error” failed to see the VAR intervene, with the events detailed as the wrong message being confirmed to referee Simon Hooper. Liverpool’s statement did not keep anyone in the dark as to their feelings on…
Down to nine men following two highly contestable sendings off and with a clearly legal, onside goal wrongly chalked off due to what may be the biggest officiating error of the VAR era in the Premier League, most would likely have commended the reaction of Liverpool’s players following their eventual 2-1 defeat at Tottenham. Despite the highly testing circumstances on display in Saturday’s bullshit buffet, the Reds handled themselves impeccably. Or at least appeared to have, with no players surrounding or berating the officials and neither Curtis Jones nor Diogo Jota protesting their sendings off. The Reds simply did their…
Liverpool have made a formal request to the PGMOL to receive the audio from Saturday’s controversial defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. The Reds, who fell to a last-minute 2-1 defeat in the capital, finished the game with the nine men after both Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota were sent off. However, they intend to appeal the decision to dismiss the midfielder, who now faces a three-match ban after his initial yellow card for a foul on Yves Bissouma was upgraded after VAR review. Meanwhile, Luis Diaz would incorrectly have a goal disallowed for offside, with the PGMOL belatedly defining the mistake…
Liverpool are preparing to appeal the red card given to Curtis Jones during their controversial 2-1 defeat at Tottenham on Saturday. The midfielder was sent off for fouling Yves Bissouma in the 26th minute after a VAR intervention. Referee Simon Hooper had initially shown Jones a yellow card but changed his decision after being advised to go to the pitchside monitor. Sky Sports News has been told Liverpool feel the tackle did not meet the threshold for excessive force as the 22-year-old made enough contact with the ball and was trying to control it by rolling over it, while there was no…
