πππππ: Young goalkeeper Hudson Sands has signed his first professional contract with Chelsea. βοΈ
Sands, who has been with the Blues since Under-8s level, went full-time as a scholar in the summer and has now signed his first pro deal after turning 17.
He made his debut for the Under-18s while still an Under-15s player, keeping a clean sheet in a 3-0 win over Leicester City in April 2023, and was a regular in the Chelsea Under-16s side which won the Premier League National Tournament last season.
The keeper has made two further appearances for the Under-18s since joining Hassan Sulaimanβs squad permanently for 2024/25, in the league against West Ham United and Aston Villa, coming out on the winning side on both occasions.

π¨Enzo Maresca on James: I expected from him more in terms of leadership, inside the changing room and for different kind of things. So heβs on the way, heβs doing well, heβs progressing but from Reece I expected more also in terms of leadership.β
Enzo Maresca: "Reece James is on the way, heβs doing well, heβs progressing, but I expected more also in terms of leadership. For me, because you are the captain, you have to give more. I expect from him to give always more in terms of leadership in general."
Maresca: "Reece James is a reserved guy, but not only him. I think we donβt have a proper leader. We donβt have those guys. Probably Tosin [Adarabioyo] is one of the guys that is. So the rest we need to build them."
Maresca on James Reaction: βGood, thatβs why I said heβs on the way. He understands that we expected more from him. Heβs one of our guys from the academy but this is one of the reasons why he has to show more in terms of personality.β
Enzo Maresca:
βThe one that is doing fantastic in this kind of thing is Levi. Levi probably at the beginning of the season was not a leader but now you can see that he is one of the guys that is always speaking. We need to build that.β
Enzo Maresca:
βMarc Cucurella is one of the guys. We need more and more.β

Enzo Maresca on @Newcastle_United:
βItβs very clear they are physically strong, very good. They have been a bit unlucky, especially against Brighton. Overall, they deserve more points. The way they work for many years together, itβs clear.β

Romeo Lavia:
"That whole year [of injury], itβs not been how I was expecting it to be, but Iβm just happy because, without thinking about it, Iβve been at the club for a year so I know more about the culture, my team-mates, I know about everyone..."
Romeo Lavia:
"I feel much better going onto the pitch now because I have this confidence that I have people I trust around me, people that I enjoy being with, and that all just makes it easier."

βΌοΈItβs admirable how Enzo Maresca supports Sanchez when he gets a kick right. One of the criticisms of Robert Sanchez is his footwork.
Against Newcastle, especially in the first half, he gave the ball away a lot, but one thing his manager kept doing every time he interacted with him was giving him a thumbs-up to encourage him to keep going.
