Talks are underway. Hormuz remains restricted. On July 28, Netanyahu met with Trump. A key meeting that could set the next direction for oil.

 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Maxence Lacroix has joined Chelsea from Crystal Palace on a contract until 2032. 🤝

🗣️ On joining Chelsea, Lacroix said:

“I am really happy to be part of this beautiful club. Everyone knows the legend of Chelsea, its tradition of winning, and to be a part of that is a proud moment.

“When I spoke with the manager, I saw that we have the same direction and desire for this club.

“We want to win. When you see the quality of the players here, everything we have around the club, it's something that we can achieve. The ambition is to lift trophies, and I can’t wait to contribute.”

The 26-year-old made 98 appearances for Crystal Palace during two seasons at Selhurst Park and made history with the Eagles by winning the UEFA Conference League, FA Cup and Community Shield.

A product of Sochaux's academy, Lacroix made 28 senior appearances for the French club’s first team before joining Wolfsburg in August 2020.

He spent four years with the German side and made 130 appearances before his switch to south London.

Lacroix’s performances in the Premier League and in Europe with Palace earned him international recognition in March, when he made his debut for France.

He was then included in Les Bleus’ squad for the FIFA World Cup and made three appearances at the tournament as his country claimed a fourth-place finish.

👏 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐝𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐬𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐫, 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝟖𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎-𝐩𝐥𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐎𝐥𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲:

“Yes, so far so good.

“It’s been a great experience to come here to Australia, a country with big sports.

“It has great support and we have seen that from training sessions, from the game, and tomorrow we are expecting a good crowd. It’s getting more and more this energy from the people and the facilities are good. You see here from Sydney, it’s top level and we are really happy.

“That’s the beauty and the special charm of the Premier League, that wherever you go in the world, Australia or New Zealand, or we go next week to Hong Kong and we feel the support, we have great welcome, great reception and we are expecting a great atmosphere tomorrow.”

“The Premier League is so special in the world and that’s why it’s so engaging for all the football fans.”

🤝 𝐎𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐂𝐚𝐢𝐜𝐞𝐝𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐍𝐢𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐬 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐧:

“Moi and Nico joined yesterday in the squad of all the players and Nico is part of the squad and we welcome him and we start with him from today.”

🏥 On whether Romeo Lavia is fit after missing Chelsea’s win over Western Sydney Wanderers due to a hamstring issue:

“He’s okay for tomorrow.”

🔋 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝:

“It’s a good game, it will be an exciting game, we want to play a good game but it’s still pre-season, so there will be circumstances or there are already plans.

“Probably in a competitive moment you don’t have already plans, so there will be minutes for many players, but it’s going to be exciting for sure.”

 🗣️🇦🇺 Cole Palmer ahead of Chelsea’s second pre-season match against @Tottenhm Hotspur in the Sydney Super Cup:

🤝 𝐎𝐧 𝐗𝐚𝐛𝐢 𝐀𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐈𝐅𝐀 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐂𝐮𝐩 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝:

“I can’t remember what he said. I think he said don’t worry about it or whatever, normal stuff. It was nice.

“I’m not really thinking about that now [his desire to win back his England place], to be honest. I’m just looking forward to the season with Chelsea, and to be honest, I’m not too bothered about that.”

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧:

“I went to Sweden or Denmark - one of those countries - to see a doctor. We did speak about it [getting surgery], but I didn’t end up getting it.

“I didn’t really know how to deal with it. The first few months, with me being injured, I just wanted to go out and play, which I probably shouldn’t have done.

“Obviously I couldn’t play how I wanted to play. It was a bad season personally with injuries and stuff but I feel good now. The seven weeks obviously helped. I’m ready to go again.”

😤 𝐎𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐨 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐨𝐧:

“Naturally.

“It’s like anything; if someone told you that you’re essentially not good enough to get in the squad, then you’re going to think, like, alright, whatever then, try to go that extra harder.”

🤜 𝐎𝐧 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧 𝐑𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐬:

“Everyone knows how good he is.

“Obviously he’s one of my best friends so I am very happy about it.”

🥶 On who did the iconic ‘cold’ celebration between Palmer and Rogers:

“This is just the media, this! We’ve never spoken about it. It’s one of them. He does it. I do it.

“I’ve trademarked it so if he tries to do anything, he will have the bailiffs at his door [laughs]. Nah, we’ll do it together, I think.”

 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋: Chelsea have been fined £10 million by the FA and have also been hit with a suspended two-window transfer ban for breaches during Roman Abramovich’s tenure. ❌

🗣️ An official statement from the FA read:

“A financial sanction of £10m and a suspended two-window registration ban have been imposed on Chelsea FC for breaches of the Football Association Football Agent Regulations, Regulations on Working with Intermediaries and Third Party Investment in Players Regulations. The FA charged Chelsea FC with 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 after its current ownership self-reported misconduct upon its purchase of the club. The FA is continuing to investigate individual misconduct arising out of this case.

“Chelsea FC admitted to the 74 breaches of FA Rule E1.2 prior to a hearing and an independent Regulatory Commission imposed a six-point deduction, which was to be suspended until June 30, 2027, and a £10m fine.

“The club appealed against the suspended points deduction and an independent Appeal Board allowed the appeal and set aside this sanction following a further hearing.

“In its place, the Appeal Board imposed a registration ban for two complete and consecutive transfer windows which is suspended until 30 June 2027.”
