๐จ Emmanuel Emegha was viewed internally as a possible replacement for Nicolas Jackson with greater long-term upside, though his role in Xabi Alonsoโs squad remained uncertain until August when it became clear that Jackson and Delap would be sold.

๐จ A GK was never considered a priority position to upgrade.
Robert Sanchezโs error-strewn performance against Fulham shifted the conversation. Despite the high regard in which he was held, there was recognition that his form had dipped badly in each of his three previous seasons at the club.

๐จ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐๐ก๐: Estevao has reportedly told those close to him that he fears he wonโt get enough opportunities under Alonso.
He prefers playing centrally and doesnโt want to compete with Neto for a wide role, as he believes adding more muscle could affect his mobility and compromise his style of play.
The Brazilian remains happy at Chelsea and wants to stay, but if his playing time remains limited, he could consider pushing for a move in January.
