🚨 Christopher Nkunku wants to leave Chelsea. 🇫🇷👋

Arsenal and Bayern were interested in January and are likely to return in the summer.

🔵 Enzo Maresca on reasons for Cole Palmer recent form: “For sure, it’s mental. I don't think it's tactical. I don't think it's technical”.

“The style of football is the same. The manager is the same. The club is the same”.

Here they come. 👊

Nicolas Jackson with his 27th goal for Chelsea ⚽️

Nicolas Jackson ends his 13-game goal drought ⚽🙌

It's his first goal for Chelsea since 15 December 🗓️

Nicolas Jackson has now scored 36 league goals combined for Villarreal and Chelsea.

Today is the first time he has ever scored from outside the box. ⚽️

Nicolas Jackson is the first Chelsea striker to score 10 or more Premier League goals in consecutive seasons since Diego Costa in 2015/16 and 2016/17.

The only other players to do it since are Cole Palmer and Eden Hazard.

Nico Jackson is also the first U23 CF for Chelsea to score 10+ league goals in consecutive seasons since the start of the PL.

Jackson turning into Prime Drogba when we really need him the most.

Please keep playing like this till Nottingham Forest.

Chelsea’s last 30 Premier League home games against Everton:

DDWWDWWWDWWDDDDDWWWWDWWDWWDDWW

It’s the Blues’ longest unbeaten home run against an opponent in their league history. 💪

6 wins in the last 7 Premier League games at Stamford Bridge.

9th clean-sheet of the season takes Chelsea past the 8 they managed last season, and one short of the 10 they managed in the 22/23 season.

No amount of G/A would make me like how we are using Fernandez right now. He’s seriously struggling in that attacking midfield role, he’s mostly a passenger in most games because it limits his skill sets to the core. The more G/A he gets the more people and the coaches would think that’s his best position. i dislike it very much but what can i do?

Most PL goals for Chelsea since start of last season:

36 — Cole Palmer
24 — Nico Jackson
12 — Noni Madueke

Main men

Chelsea have conceded 40 goals in the Premier League this season. Only Arsenal (29), Liverpool (31), and Forest (39) have conceded less.

Considering the defenders we have at the club, that's not bad. Would be a lot better next season.

Lavia to Maresca is what Rodri is to Pep Guardiola.

If you know, you know.

Battle of The Victors: Gyokeres Or Osimhen

We want a top striker.
We definitely MUST get a top striker.

When it comes to poaching abilities, the two Victors are definitely amongst the best. These are their numbers this season.

Osimhen =33 goals+ 5 assists
Gyokeres= 47 goals+11 assists

For Club and country

Scoring is not the issue of the two. Little details will however give the edge. I must say that previously I had wanted Osimhen but I feel these factors should give Gyokeres an edge.

Finances

✓Gyokeres Earns 46,000-50,000 per week. It's easy to do abnormal increments without messing up the pay structure. Osimhen is already at 290,000. Can accept to lower his wages?

✓ Rumoured acceptable fees for osimhen is $80M . For Gyokeres $65-75M

Sport wise- The most Crucial

✓ Gyokere's ability to force through a sea of defenders when tightly marked is his biggest asset. The man can be marked by 5 defenders but still force through with sheer physical strength and determination of a bull in the same way if not better than our legend Diego Costa. In a compact league where teams play with low blocks, this should be an asset compared to Osimhen who prefers spaces and channels to run into.

X - Osimhens aerial abilities are miles better than Gyokeres. Gyokeres however isn't shy of aerial fights. He is better than Jackson and Nkunku on this. He would be an upgrade.

Relations
✓ There is an already established between Chelsea and Sporting, we definitely should

X- Hassan Centikaya, Gyokeres agent is a close personal friend of Mikel Arteta. Arsenal also have an interest in Gyokeres. Terrible news. With Osimhen, His relationship with Mikel could be vital to us securing him
