🚨🔵 Tosin Adarabioyo on Welbz and Hendo:

"Pure experience and at the same time, they are winners. They will bring that winning mentality to the club and hopefully we will continue that way."

Enzo Fernandez is due to return to training next week at Cobham. Chelsea are preparing for him to come back and return as things stand. (SJohnsonSport TheAthleticFC podcast)

We could be looking at a transfer window where Tosin, Badiashile, Disasi & Chalobah all leave the club. Finally a clear out that was long overdue at this football club

🚨 JUST IN: Malo Gusto could leave Chelsea! They have opened the door to a potential exit following the signing of Marco Palestra. Chelsea want £75m.

Man City is interested but not at that price. One to watch!

🚨🔵 Chelsea agree deal to sign Pep Chavarria from Rayo Vallecano, here we go!

Deal done for Spanish left back, €19m fixed fee plus €2m add-ons. Chavarria will now fly for medical and contract signing.

Club to club signatures happening tonight.

There is always noise in the media about our big squad every summer. Don't they get tired? This has always been our model since Roman's era: a large number of loan and academy players in the squad before the start of the season. It's up to the manager to trim it down as he wishes.

But it's part of our business model. Commercial and gate fee revenues aren't good enough for us to compete with our rivals. Last summer, we raised more than £300m in sales, and it covered our incomings. This summer could be the same.

The challenge is how the manager handles it. He needs to be bold and ruthless in selecting his squad from a massive group. It's not nice to turn down players, but we have to do what we have to do to survive. Football is generally a ruthless business.

🚨🧤 Xabi Alonso on his GK's:

“I’m very happy with Rob, Mike, Teddy. Mike is a young goalkeeper. Rob has played many years in the club and the Premier League. He has experience. So to have this security in goal is important.”

🗣 Xabi Alonso: "Why Chelsea? Because for me, I love football, and Chelsea is one of the greatest clubs in the world. And to have this opportunity, I'm really proud, really privileged, and really responsible for the job I'm taking. I think this is a club with such big potential."

🗣 Xabi Alonso: "We know football is so global that we can be based in in London, but we know that we feel that great support everywhere. We see blue shirts wherever we have been, and we want to pay them back and now is the perfect timing to come, and tomorrow I'm sure that we will feel this support. That is the beauty of the game."

Cole Palmer was back in full team training today… ✅
