🗣 Thomas Tuchel: "Reece [James] is, at the moment, slightly ahead [of Trent Alexander Arnold] in this position, given what he did for us in the last two camps and how he played the Club World Cup with Chelsea."

🗣 Enzo Maresca: "If some players arrive here, it’s because I agree and I’m happy to work with them."

🌍 Bayern are paying the 4th highest ever loan fee for Jackson, and if they later use the £56.2m buy option, Chelsea will more than double the £30m they spent on him in June 2023 (counting the loan fee too).

🚨 At the Club World Cup, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro were moved ahead of Nicolas Jackson in the pecking order. This pushed Jackson to consider leaving, especially with the World Cup next year on his mind.

Nearly three years into this project, it’s surprising that some people still don’t understand how the sporting directors work. They’ve stuck to their plan even through tough times, and now that the team is back to the level expected, they’re even more confident in it. The club will go after the players it believes are needed, no matter what outsiders think. It’s fine for fans to have concerns, but some of the comments show people still don’t get how the club has operated since the takeover.

Confirmed: 2025/26 Champions League fixture dates and times will be released at 11.15am [UK] this morning.
