Summer is approaching fast, and we’re starting to get more resolution on some of the transfer rumours that have been ratting around all year. Left back remains a problem position for us, mainly because we keep selling our best players there. Ben Chilwell and Marc Cucurella are our current options, and neither is fully convincing, nor have they been able to stay fully fit all year. After striker, left back feels like one of the priority areas to strengthen the team this summer. According to Chelsea insider Ben Jacobs, the sporting directors agree. Jacobs’ exclusive column for our writer Simon P ..read more

Ben Jacobs’ exclusive column for our writer Simon Phillips last night had some really interesting stuff in it about the future of Mauricio Pochettino. The Chelsea coach at times felt like he was on the verge of a sacking at Stamford Bridge, but in the end battled back and now seems in a better position. Jacobs says there’s a “strong chance” that we will stick with him until next season, and notes that the owners will have more than results on their mind when making the decision: “The owners will also be looking at data, including expected points and big chances created (and sadly missed) as we ..read more

Mauricio Pochettino has insisted he doesn’t need to speak to Moises Caicedo about his on field discipline ahead of tonight’s game against Arsenal. Caicedo, who arrived last summer from Brighton for a British record fee of £115m has been booked 12 times this season, and is one yellow card away from a two match suspension. The Ecuador international was fortunate not to be sent for a challenge on Jack Grealish in the FA Cup semi final, and has been involved in similar incidents with Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon and Liverpool’s Ryan Gravenberch this season. Ahead of the game at the Emirates Pochetti ..read more

Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he will decide who the penalty taker is when he picks his starting line-up against Arsenal if Cole Palmer is unavailable. The 21-year-old is a doubt for tonight’s game at the Emirates having suffered with illness following the FA Cup semi final defeat to Manchester City last weekend. Palmer’s absence would be a huge blow to Chelsea, who have been reliant on the forward for much of the season. The England international is currently top of the scoring charts with ex-team-mate Erling Haaland on 20 Premier League goals. One area where the former City man has excell ..read more

Joe Cole has urged Cole Palmer to stay at Chelsea for the long term and become the face of the new era at Stamford Bridge. Palmer has been superb following his move from Manchester City last summer, and is currently top of the scoring charts with former team-mate Erling Haaland on 20 Premier League goals. Since arriving in west London the 21-year-old hasn’t looked back and has become Chelsea’s key man, with his form earning him his first two England caps, and a huge chance of making Gareth Southgate’s squad for the Euros this summer. Ahead of tonight’s game with Arsenal former Blue Cole was fu ..read more

Mauricio Pochettino believes it’s unfair to compare the impact of Enzo Fernandez at Chelsea to that of Arsenal’s Declan Rice. The Blue’s head to the Emirates tonight looking to bounce back from the disappointment of their defeat to Manchester City at Wembley. Fernandez joined Chelsea from Portuguese side Benfica for £107m in January 2023, whilst Rice joined the Gunners from West Ham last summer in a deal worth an initial £100m. At the time the fee paid for the World Cup winner was a British record before the Blues broke it to sign Moises Caicedo from Brighton last summer for £115m. Rice has ea ..read more

One former Chelsea manager has gone in on the current players, manager, and board at the club after watching them go out of the FA Cup at the weekend. Everyone has had an opinion on Chelsea this season, some positive, but many negative. At the very least, Chelsea have been very inconsistent this season and there has been some terrible performances, there are no two ways about that. There has also been some good performances too, and ironically, even though we lost, I thought the FA Cup game against Manchester City on Saturday was one of those. In fact, all three of our games against City this ..read more

Chelsea legend Didier Drogba has taken to social media in order to send a message to current Blues striker Nicolas Jackson after a rough week. Jackson missed a host of easy chances against Manchester City on Saturday night and if he took them, as you’d expect your front man to do, then Chelsea would be through to the FA Cup final. The sole blame was not just on Jackson though, and he played well in the rest of the game, but his missed chances were crucial and it once again drew abuse and racism from some ‘fans’.

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino may well be without key player Cole Palmer tonight as he prepares his Blues side to take on Arsenal in the Premier League. Chelsea are chasing a Europa League spot and a win against Arsenal tonight in their game in hand will really put them into a fine position to achieve that goal. But Arsenal will of course be no push over and they are fighting to win the league title so will be doing all they can to take all three points at home tonight. EXCLUSIVE! ‘Strong chance’ Chelsea stick with Pochettino, Chalobah ‘happy’ at Chelsea but will leave for one condition, St ..read more

Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino has been asked about the future of striker Romelu Lukaku and whether he will return to the club when his loan move ends this summer. It’s been heavily reported over recent months that a new striker is most likely going to be the transfer priority for Chelsea in the summer window, and as we know, Lukaku is still a Chelsea striker even if he has been out on loan the last couple of seasons.
