How do you guys rate Chelsea’s transfer window so far?

 🗣️🇭🇰 Xabi Alonso ahead of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly against Juventus:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“Both [Mykhailo Mudryk & Danny Welbeck] are available to play tomorrow.

“He [Mudryk] could play, maybe 90 minutes is too early, but he can be selected. He’s selected, so he can play.

“Robert Sanchez is much better, so let’s see tomorrow.”

😊 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐮𝐝𝐫𝐲𝐤 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬:

“We are thrilled that Misha could be with us. We are thrilled. I think that you could see his smile, how great it was for him to be part of a team, because he’s been a long time training on his own.

“His fitness level? We will see. But he has been working hard and now it’s about trying to get to do things, passing the ball to teammates, having to integrate in the dynamic. But the first feeling from everyone, we are happy that he’s back with us in the team.”

📝 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐦 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐭:

“We take every game, we analyse it, the things that we have worked, we have done right, what we can improve, and from the Spurs game, we have analysed it, and from tomorrow as well.

“We know that Juve is a great team, with great experienced players, with a great coach, so it’s going to be a great, interesting and useful test for us.

“We are looking forward to playing in this new stadium. I knew another stadium here in Hong Kong, but the excitement and the engagement with the local fans is fantastic. You feel that they are so, even being far away, they are so close.”

Xabi Alonso clearly has so much faith in Austin MacPhee, that while he worked on the attacking shape with his forwards, he let MacPhee lead the set-piece drills and just get on with the job.

MacPhee was already bossing the Chelsea players about. Alonso’s new set-piece coach, just hours after the club confirmed his arrival, walked around the packed penalty area at one end of the Stadium, notepad in one hand, the other pointing and gesturing, as the huddle of players crowded around him and hung on his every word.

So drilled does MacPhee want his players to be that even after the long hours honing the moves on the training pitch, he sends his players home with animations of the individual movements sent to their phones.

‼️ Chelsea's improved bid for Pep Chavarria is at around €19 million plus add-ons to RayoVallecano.

The deal is very close to being completed. So I think this deal is happening. The here we go is imminent, and Pep Chavarria will be the next one for Chelsea.
