Maresca mentioned Leicester, then for Chelsea mentioned "a different club". Okay.

@Manchester_City, Brighton and @Arsenal_london are teams I want us to beat so bad this season.

Marc guiu joins Leipzig 🤝

🚨 Chelsea are showing serious interest in Lamine Camara! They are trying...at the moment they are yet to decide if they will go all in, but talks have started on the player side and club side. Monaco still hopes to keep, but they know if Chelsea arrive with big money, it's going to be impossible.

Yeah, Chelsea might have the best scouting team in football because how didn’t anyone talk about this boy. Alex Scot who? Wharton who?

🚨🇦🇷 Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with @Manchester_City on personal terms.

Deal depends on club to club decision as #MCFC have not sent official bid yet but contacts will take place soon; decision on price up to Chelsea.

Enzo could be out again this weekend.

❓Chelsea signing Emi Martinez makes Chelsea title challengers?

🗣 Gerrard:

“Yes, agree”

🗣 David Ornstein:

“100% — because I think that was the only position missing for Chelsea this season. They don’t have European football and they’ve strengthened in every area.”

🗣️ Cole Palmer on Alonso's three at the back:

"It's been good. We had to get used to it, especially in preseason. Like we didn't really know how to work it and stuff. Because obviously we had Maresco and Liam played similar formations, like three building up with free two and whatever they all do, but this is this is different."

🗣️ Cole Palmer on freedom Alonso has given him:

"Just had a bit more freedom. You can see last night with the goal I scored [against Fulham], last season, I wouldn't even made that run because that's safe in my zone. If you know what I know what I mean.”

“Yeah. What he [Alonso] is saying, 'move across that zone, like drop to play, come down the ball, create, and just do what you do'"

"Now, physically, I feel good. Probably the best I've felt in ages. But if I can get ready more with games and more minutes."

"I think it'll be a good season, exciting. And hopefully we will score a lot of goals."
