One final friendly tomorrow before the season begins next week!

⚽️: Udinese v. Chelsea
📆: Saturday, July 30
⏰: 12.30 AM (IST)
📍: Dacia Arena

Chelsea have two games prepared for Italy. One to feature a first/strong XI vs Udinese and there will be another one for the extended squad to get some minutes. There's also CFC XI and academy games vs Bromley and Dorking. Busy weekend before the season starts. #CFC

Callum Hudson-Odoi likely to leave Chelsea this summer. Nothing concrete yet but he's just not seen as the same player by Thomas Tuchel and his staff. Crucial weeks ahead, not helped by injuries and his weight at this age of preseason.

Monchi claims Chelsea stalled the Kounde deal before Barca made a move.

It really feels like Monchi is trying to save his own ass with those comments. He’s seemingly justifying selling Jules Kounde to a direct league rival (Barcelona) as opposed to #Chelsea. It’s not like the Blues will come out and refute his claims either, so it’s a win-win for him

There is an interest from Chelsea in Benjamin Pavard. Nothing advanced. I've heard more about the likes of Wesley Fofana and Presnel Kimpembe at this stage, but Pavard is on the 'list'. #CFC


Pavard is open to joining #Chelsea but CFC need to make a serious offer.

Chelsea’s Levi Colwill will miss the game vs Udinese due to injury struggles. Really tough timing for the promising youngster as he was trying to make an impression on Tuchel & carve out a role on the squad

From John Terry to Koulibaly. The 26 is a special number for special players.

#Sterling used in a central role, collecting the ball in deeper spaces to connect attacks. You can’t do that with someone like #Werner because the technical level is too low.Elite team attacks need a base level of technical security. #Chelsea should add more of it. That man is #Depay.

🚨 Timo #Werner has accepted a 50% pay cut to join Leipzig, a loan fee with a purchase clause is being discussed.

Taken a guess at the Chelsea team for tomorrow morning (working on the basis those who came off the bench tonight won't start).

Kepa; Chalobah, Ampadu, Sarr; Loftus-Cheek, Kovacic, Gallagher, Chilwell; Ziyech, Broja, Pulisic

We'll see if I'm still in Thomas Tuchel's head #CFC

🚨Leicester City's 21-year-old French defender Wesley Fofana wants to transfer to Chelsea.🇫🇷#CFC 🔵 #LFC

🚨 EXCL: Adama Traore is a player Chelsea are considering for the RWB position, however no talks have even started with Wolves yet. 🇪🇸🔵 #CFC

Thomas Tuchel is a huge fan of the player.

Edouard Mendy will continue to be #Chelsea's number one and they are keen to offer him a new contract later in the season.

#Chelsea are working on deals for Wesley Fofana & Denzel Dumfries

Looks like Chelsea have taken it upon them to save Inter every season by offering money via transfers.

For any #Chelsea fans wondering about Fofana’s injury. He had a fibular fracture that was repaired via surgery. Originally ruled out for the season but played last 7 games (very positive indicator). With proper strength & conditioning + ramp up, no major concerns.

Chelsea are exploring a move to beat Manchester City to Marc Cucurella as they ask Brighton about £50m-rated defender.

Chelsea are interested in signing Brighton’s Marc Cucurella after talks stalled with Man City.

Chelsea have discussed internally the idea of a swap-deal. #CFC

Chelsea have made progress in their pursuit of Fofana, who is open to the idea of joining Chelsea if the two sides can agree a transfer fee this summer.

This window has been a good learning experience for Boehly and Co. Need a technical director appointed quickly to smoothen the process and get transfers over the line quickly.

They have done well so far with Sterling and Koulibaly transfers, but the rest has been a mess.
