Chelsea news with the latest Blues headlines and stories all day with updates on Armando Broja, Cole Palmer and Dani Olmo And so we arrive maybe the worst day of the international break, the middle Saturday. There are games but England have been and gone, it’s another three days until the Three Lions are in action again, though Chelsea fans can look back fondly on Levi Colwill’s debut.
Not many Manchester United players can boast they’ve beaten Liverpool twice in one day. But rising star Amir Ibragimov did just that back in January. Having scored the winning goal for United’s under-16 team against their bitter rivals, the teenager swapped pitches and helped the under-18s win their fixture with Liverpool 3-2. It’s little wonder there is a growing buzz around Ibragimov in United’s academy, with the Dagestan-born forward even invited to train with the first team by Erik ten Hag. But Amir is just one member of a very talented sporting family. His two younger brothers – Gazir and Muhammad – are also…
At 16 years and 161 days old, Kendry Paez became the youngest South American to score in a World Cup qualifier in Ecuador’s 2-1 win away to Bolivia; Paez has already agreed to join Chelsea from Independiente del Valle for £17.27m. The teenager produced a composed finish after being set up by Moises Caicedo. It has echoes of Michael Owen being sent through on goal by David Beckham in Saint-Etienne against Argentina at France ’98. Of Owen sending Wayne Rooney free of Croatia’s last defender in Lisbon at Euro 2004. Can he finish? You bet he can. Taking to social…
Liverpool are looking to add more depth to their squad and have identified the perfect young forward for next summer. Jurgen Klopp’s side has accomplished an impressive rebuild over the past 12 months, moving on experienced players and investing in youth. Fabinho, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson all left the club for Saudi Arabia in the summer. The midfield in particular was given the most attention last summer with Ryan Gravenberch, Alexis Mac Allister, Dominic Szoboszlai and Wataru Endo joining the club. With reports that Mo Salah could eventually leave for Saudi Arabia the Reds have been linked with a host…
Chelsea’s recent upturn in form has changed the whole mood around the club and the fan base. Before the three wins on the bounce, leading up to the international break, things were looking rather bleak at Stamford Bridge. However, Mauricio Pochettino and his squad then built a bit of momentum, with the international break actually coming at the wrong time for the Blues. “It’s always about building a team. It’s a young squad, a team that still need to know each other,” Pochettino said earlier in the week. “Only with time and training can we provide the team with what it needs.…
A £50m bid for a Brighton attacker has already been ‘laughed off’, though one observer reckons a “dream” move to either Liverpool or Manchester United is coming. Brighton’s recruitment team is arguably the envy of the rest of the Premier League at present. The Seagulls very rarely miss in the market and have a proven track record of signing rising young talents who go on to become household names. Brighton are currently one half of the British transfer record. Moises Caicedo shattered the previous mark held by Enzo Fernandez (£106.7m) when joining Chelsea for £115m over the summer. The Republic of…
Who is superior, Martin Odegaard or James Maddison? As Arsenal fans, we obviously believe Odegaard is superior. But, since Maddison, who we were interested in at one point, joined our North London rivals Tottenham Hotspurs, the topic of which North London club has the finest playmaker has come back into being. Danny Murphy, a former Liverpool midfielder, believes our No. 8 is superior to Maddison. Murphy claims our captain doesn’t just focus on attacking, he contributes to our defensive game. He’s tireless and runs all day, and it is this incredible stamina and contributions that elevate him beyond Maddison, despite…
Argentina beat Paraguay 1-0 in their World Cup qualifiers last night, and Emi Martinez seems impressed with Tottenham Hotspur star Cristian Romero. The 25-year-old has been absolutely incredible over the last few months, hasn’t he? He has wowed everyone, including Lionel Messi, and he continues to make big strides for his country. Romero was excellent for Argentina last night. Argentina were the favourites going into the game against Paraguay last night, and even though it wasn’t an easy game, they got the job done. Nicolás Otamendi’s third-minute strike proved to be the winner in the end, and Lionel Scaloni’s men…

Thankfully, Sterling was onside, so there was no repeat of what happened to Liverpool. But speaking on The Footballer’s Football Podcast, Antonio said that referees were making things unnecessarily hard for themselves. “No way!” exclaimed the West Ham United man, after being told of the Sterling incident. “That’s to be fair, I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but I feel like sometimes officials kill themselves even more than necessary. “They have done something the week before – just stick to what you’ve done. Just go ‘you know what I have made a decision, it’s happened, he’s done…
