Good Morning all!
First of all, some more under wraps negotiations! According to BILD in Germany, who are a reliable source, shortly before the end of the summer transfer window, Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig had a secret medical check-up with Chelsea near Frankfurt. A Blues orthopedist was in attendance. It was not for a transfer in the summer, but next summer. The deal is being described as ‘concrete negotiations’ for next summer, where the forward has a release clause just north of £50m. I have quickly managed to speak to one source who tells me that Todd Boehly has a great relationship with the Red Bull group, and at this current time have laid the most groundwork to sign Nkunku for next summer out of all the interested clubs. I’m told the player ‘would love’ to come to London and especially Chelsea. Graham Potter and Kyle Macaulay have been involved too in this, as well as other players such as Jude Bellingham, Declan Rice, Rafa Leao, and Josko Gvardiol. Nothing will be decided until further negotiations have been carried out and more discussions held with Potter/Macaulay and the potential new DOF that Chelsea want to bring in before the World Cup.
Needed to squeeze that out quickly before I go away for you guys!
Tomorrow, I set off on a flight to Cyprus for my honeymoon, so I’m pretty buzzing for that. Please take a read of this article here which explains all about it and the content we are still bringing in my absence!
I’m also excited that Chelsea are back, even if I can’t watch Saturday’s game. I’ll certainly be finding bars in Cyprus to watch the rest of the matches (Wife MAY kill me!) in what will be a hugely busy October period of fixtures for us ahead of the World Cup. You can catch my Crystal Palace match preview and predictions article here.
Next up, head to the live blog from yesterday here to catch up on anything Chelsea related from the last 24 hours.
Two articles to finish up now, one on Chelsea’s attempts to sign Jude Bellingham next summer here, that also features words on Carney Chukwuemeka.
And one here on the experiments that Graham Potter has been trying out in training so far and some of the positions he has been asking players to play in. Some very interesting info in here on his potential Chelsea formation moving forward.
We also managed to squeeze in a Podcast last night, and myself and Macca were joined by Guni (Man Knows Football). This was a funny show, check it out here if you haven’t yet.
Alright, I’ll catch up with you all very soon when I am settled in Cyprus with an update. Remember, the content will still be coming out on this site and Macca will continue with the Pods! We have an amazing team here, as well as a great community. Speak very soon people!
Peace, Si.
