N'Golo Kanté has been named as the Player of the Match for France vs Austria 💙

Observing…

There is an acceptance it will be very difficult to find a club looking to sign Raheem Sterling, who is preparing for pre-season under new Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, this summer.

Chelsea have been put off making a move for their former academy striker Dominic Solanke, at least for the time being, because of a £65million release clause in his contract.

The priority right now is trying to win the race for Olise. Even though they have got the go-ahead to speak to the 22-year-old, Chelsea know it is far from a done deal. Chelsea believe another three to five teams are also in the frame.

Did we?🤔

How many points are you expecting from our first 10 games?

It’s over! 😂

🚨 Real Madrid are considering extending the loan of Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, if Lunin were to leave.

If Chelsea get Olise through the door, it will be because they are convinced he’s the guy, but if not, Chelsea back their talent ID, example Cole Palmer last season when Olise did not happen.

The board doesn't want to sign a striker who'll come straight into the XI and bench Jackson

We should just keep Broja if we can't find any better targets.. it sounds insanely stupid selling him for £25m and signing another prospect for more than £50m

Nothing beats some away end scenes. 🙌

Our first away game of 2025 will be back at Selhurst Park. ⏩

I know stats aren't flawless and the RW position is getting crowded but you just don't say no to talent like Olise
