Brighton star Moises Caicedo has been the subject of heavy interest from Chelsea all summer, with the Blues struggling to meet his asking price due to Financial Fair Play rules following their mammoth spending spree last season under new owner Todd Boehly. As a result, Liverpool attempted to hijack the move by agreeing a British record transfer fee with Brighton. However, Caicedo’s preference was a move to Chelsea and the Blues have now been able to strike an agreement of their own with the Seagulls. Chelsea’s offer totals a whopping £115m, including £15m in add-ons and a significant sell-on clause with the player agreeing terms on an eight-year contract…
In the on and off-field battles against Chelsea, the only positive Liverpool may end up taking is a point they earned yesterday at Stamford Bridge. In the transfer market, the Reds have been smashed by the Blues. The London side are not only signing Caicedo from Brighton but are also close to luring Lavia from Recent reports in the media indicated the 19-year-old Belgian international has agreed a move to Anfield despite Chelsea’s bid worth £55million. However, the latest reports indicate that the teenage sensation has rejected Liverpool and is expected to sign for Mauricio Pochettino’s team. As per today’s version of The…
Jurgen Klopp has made a thinly-veiled dig at Chelsea’s approach to the transfer market – on the same day Liverpool were beaten to the signing of Brighton midfielder Moises Caicedo. The Blues have agreed a transfer deal worth £115million – which includes £15m in add-ons – for the Ecuadorian international. The Chelsea deal follows days of high drama as Liverpool had a British record transfer fee of £111million accepted by the Seagulls for the 21-year-old. The deal will take Chelsea’s summer transfer spending past the £300million mark following the arrivals of Christopher Nkunku, Nicolas Jackson, Axel Disasi, Lesley Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez, and Angelo – while they…
Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has hit out at Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s treatment of Erling Haaland during the Citizens’ 3-0 Premier League win over Burnley on Saturday. Man City defeated Burnley at Turf Moor in their Premier League opener at the weekend. During the encounter, Haaland scored a brace in the first 36 minutes of the match but seemingly complained about a lack of service towards the end of the first half. This apparently drew a reaction from Guardiola, and as Haaland walked towards the tunnel, the former Barcelona head coach was seen berating the Norway international before…
Having wrapped up the signature of Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool’s focus in the last month or so has been on the number six position. With Fabinho having departed, the club desperately needs an adequate replacement, but so far the Reds’ search has been to no avail. Despite Liverpool having a bid accepted for Moisés Caicedo, the Ecuadorean preferred Chelsea over a move to Anfield. It seems like the Reds have now failed in their pursuit to sign the Brighton midfielder. This leaves Jürgen Klopp once again having to go back to the drawing board. The market for holding midfielders in world football is a tricky one at the…
After only a couple of months away, the Premier League roared back into life this weekend as a host of new signings made their debuts. There were wins for Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle while Chelsea and Liverpool played out a pulsating draw and Tottenham began life without Harry Kane with a point at Brentford. The first round of matches will have also highlighted to managers the areas they still need to strengthen before the transfer window closes on September 1. Moises Caicedo will have been an interesting spectator at Stamford Bridge, with the Brighton midfielder set to make the move…
In the second half, VAR looked at a possible handball from the Chelsea summer signing, but it opted against sending the on-field referee to the monitor despite calls from the Liverpool side. At first glance, Neville thought that Nicolas Jackson was in trouble and VAR would intervene, but upon second viewing, he felt that his hands being close to his body helped his cause, as he told Sky Sports Premier League (13/08/23). As play continued, cameras then picked up Jackson’s reaction to all of that and how the 22-year-old thought that the ball didn’t even hit his hand, and instead, hit him in the…
Mauricio Pochettino’s side kicked off their 2023/24 campaign against Jürgen Klopp’s men in west London today without a sponsor on the famous blue shirt, which left a number of people confused. So, why do Chelsea not have a sponsor? Let’s take a look… Why do Chelsea not have a sponsor? Well, the reason for this is actually quite simple. Chelsea’s three-year contract with 3 UK expired at the end of last season, meaning the Blues were left needing a new sponsorship deal. There was an agreement with Paramount Plus – a streaming service based in the United States – although…
As the Blues draw with Liverpool, Mauricio Pochettino’s first Chelsea game is over. There appears to be a game plan in place for Chelsea to play some interesting football this season, even though it is too early to draw any major conclusions from a single match. The club is expected to announce the signing of Moises Caicedo in due time, with Fabrizio Romano already giving it a “here we go.” There are conflicting reports on how far along Chelsea’s transfer for Romeo Lavia is, but everything suggests that the Belgian midfielder will be joining Caicedo at Stamford Bridge soon. Chelsea’s…
Chelsea are seemingly competing for almost every player on the planet as they look to add new names to their squad for the 2023/24 season. With Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia the two highest profile targets at this stage, Michael Olise remains on the cards whilst Brighton are yet to confirm Mohammed Kudus and a new goalkeeper is also in order. It all bodes for an extremely interesting final three weeks of the summer window. One player they have long been after but failed to sign is Ousmane Dembele. The tricky winger was in the mix to arrive in 2022…
