The attacker played just over 20 minutes at Soldier Field after picking up an early injury. Mykhailo Mudryk was his replacement and played well, but fans would have been fearing the worst when our summer signing went down clutching his leg. Pochettino was able to confirm the issue and the extent of the problem when he spoke post-match. ‘The doctors are checking him and I hope it is not a big issue. He fell in the action which was maybe a penalty and he feels something in his knee but we hope it is nothing big,’ Pochettino confirmed. We hope he can…
The rather improbable move is reported by Sport, who claim that Mbappe is happy to join Chelsea but only for one year. Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid on a free transfer in 2024 so would be content to play for another club until then after being frozen out of the PSG squad. But Sport adds that Chelsea are unlikely to accept signing Mbappe for just one year, and neither will PSG. Duncan Castles reported last weekend that Chelsea owner Todd Boehly had opened shock talks to sign Mbappe. Castles claimed that Boehly has held direct negotiations over the deal with…
The Seagulls and the Blues have been locked in talks over a move for the Ecuador international all summer and Chelsea have seen three offers turned down. The west Londoners are not giving up on Caicedo, though, and held fresh discussions with Brighton over a possible transfer for the midfielder on Tuesday. But their hopes of landing Caicedo have taken a hit after Brighton received a bid from a rival club on Wednesday, The Athletic reported on Wednesday, which is said to be worth more than Chelsea’s third offer of £80m. The mystery rival club have not been named – with fans speculating online…
Raya is leaving Brentford after informing them of his decision not to sign a new contract, indicating that he is no longer part of their long-term plans. Bayern Munich also expressed interest in adding him to their squad, but the talks ultimately fell through. Arsenal is now pursuing Raya as a potential addition to their team. This move comes as a surprise to some because Arsenal already has Aaron Ramsdale, who is considered one of the top goalkeepers in Europe. Despite Arsenal’s interest, Bent believes that Raya should hold off on joining them and wait for a possible opportunity at…
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. However, the report states that this does not suit the Blues, who would like to tie the…
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. Generously continuing to include Chelsea in that group, Todd Boehly has already had to oversee a transfer fire sale to get inside Financial Fair Play rules, losing Mason Mount in the process. In terms of incomings, Moisés Caicedo is proving difficult to land. Meanwhile, just like at Liverpool, the rise of the Saudi league has been felt at Manchester City, where stalwart Riyad Mahrez has been sold. İlkay Gündoğan has…
Manchester United are closing in on the £72million deal with Atalanta that will see Rasmus Hojlund join the club. Adding a new No 9 has been a priority for Erik ten Hag in recent weeks and the Red Devils look to have got their man after prolonged negotiations. Liverpool meanwhile continue to miss out on one of their targets with Southampton holding firm on their Romeo Lavia valuation. It could force Jurgen Klopp to look elsewhere as the seasons nears. Bayern Munich continue to pursue Harry Kane and there is growing optimism that a deal can be achieved as talks…
Liverpool are considering a move for Brazilian midfielder, Andre, as the Reds struggle to make progress in a deal for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia. Elsewhere, former midfield target Aurelien Tchouameni has reportedly been made available for transfer by Real Madrid, while there are new claims over the future of Moises Caicedo.
Gabriel Jesus will miss Arsenal’s game against Monaco in the Emirates Cup after sustaining a knee issue. Jesus, 26, has been in excellent form during pre-season so far, but will not feature as the Gunners prepare to host the Ligue 1 side in north London. Eddie Nketiah has been given the nod up front, with Folarin Balogun also not included in the squad as he is recovering from an injury. Gabriel Martinelli and Fabio Viera are set to start alongside Nketiah in a front-three as Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard settle for a place on the bench. Declan Rice is, however, named in the XI for…
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…
