Several new signings and a much needed win last weekend have given us some hope that a corner is about to be turned. There’s a two-week break coming up and going into it with a win against a struggling Liverpool side could change Chelsea’s trajectory for the remainder of the season. While Reece James and...

One of the items at the very top of Chelsea’s new owners’ to-do list after acquiring the club in May of last year was to secure contract extensions for our best young, Academy-grown players. And indeed, we wasted little time in doing so with Reece James, Trevoh Chalobah, and Armando Broja, agreeing new six-year deals... Read more
Jan 21 (Reuters) – Chelsea manager Graham Potter said the length of contracts being handed to their new signings carries an element of risk but he supports the club’s strategy. Chelsea signed Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk on an eight-and-a-half-year contract while defender Benoit Badiashile and winger Noni Madueke have agreed seven-and-a-half-year deals during a busy...

If you had told me in the summer that at the halfway point of the season Liverpool and Chelsea would be level on points, separated by just goal difference, I would’ve been absolutely ecstatic. After all, we had been chasing the Reds for the past five years, trying to close the not-so-proverbial gap to them... Read more
Potter was tight-lipped about the former Crystal Palace and Tottenham youth player earlier on Friday but Chelsea confirmed the transfer on social media in the evening. Meanwhile, Ukraine international Mudryk moved to Stamford Bridge from Shakhtar Donetsk last weekend in an initial £62m (€70.8m) deal and is likely to feature in Saturday’s game at Anfield....

His future at Chelsea remains in doubt though as his current contract is due to expire in 2024. Liverpool have been mentioned as a potential destination for the midfielder should he decide to exit Stamford Bridge. Mount currently earns around £75,000 a week and he will want a decent pay rise to sign an extension.... Read more
“They [Chelsea] did not give up,” Gvardiol told Danas. “But it was agreed that we would go for the winter. Winter has come, so we need to see what and how to proceed, but it’s okay, there’s still plenty of time, we’ll see.” Whoever ends up signing Gvardiol is going to have to pay a gigantic... Read more
Chelsea had made a somewhat slow start to the game, but neither side did much of anything too incisive for the first 15-20 minutes. Chelsea threatened occasionally, especially from the right flank, but the passes into the box lacked quality and accuracy. The rest of the half was a fairly even end-to-end affair, with Kepa...

After suffering so many injuries, Potter once again shuffled his lineup around and Chelsea played with more intensity but still gave up plenty of chances as both goalkeepers were the stars of the show. Chelsea now have 28 points on the season, while Crystal Palace remains on 22 as Patrick Vieira’s side have won just... Read more
