Chelsea FoS sponsorship deal will not happen until the end of the FIFA Club World Cup.

👕 LiveNation branding will remain on the shirts until the end of the tournament, but the partnership is now effectively over. The club is also looking for a sleeve sponsor.

Joao Pedro:

"I felt the love and support from [the fans] as soon as I stepped onto the pitch against Palmeiras. I felt comfortable, and I didn’t feel pressure. I’m just a guy who realised my dream of playing for a big club."

"I'd say I am a striker. I like to play as a number nine. But I also like to feel free on the pitch. And that's what Enzo said to me, 'Play like a number nine but come deeper to link up with the other players'.

I am a very technical player. I like to score as well. I play like a nine, but I also have the mind of a ten as well. I think this combination will be good for my team-mates and for Chelsea."

"I think Chelsea is a big club and my dream was always to play for a big club and to win trophies.

Chelsea have a great team, a young team and I think that's why I came here."

“Sources have told me that Chelsea and Arsenal are discussing a figure around the £40m mark for Madueke”

#PREMATCH

I think Maresca had had enough of Jackson's antics only that he did not have better alternatives.

Jackson now needs to work on his character and his finishing. He should take this positively and improve. He already has 70% of the tools to be successful. He only needs to work on the 30%.

Almost everyone in this team had a fair share of benching last season that forced them to improve. He enjoyed the lack of better attack options.

Or he can choose to throw tantrums, do silly interviews or ask for a transfer (most likely)

#INGAME

The truth is Jackson cannot score such a goal
