Chelsea Newsletter - Tuesday 2nd August
Covering: Sources on Fofana to Chelsea latest, Hijacking Cucurella deal, Sesko to Chelsea, Reflections from Udinese, Plus all the latest CFC transfer stories...
Morning all!
As we enter the second day of August, reality sets in, reality of the new season starting this weekend, and reality of the days of this summer’s transfer window dwindling away. I’m excited for the new season, why wouldn’t I be? I love the sport and I love Chelsea, I’ll never not be excited for a new season starting even if we were playing in League Two!
Obviously there are worries and concerns, as I spoke about on Sunday. But hey, it wouldn’t be football and it wouldn’t be Chelsea if we didn’t go through those emotions, right?
Signing Wesley Fofana this week would help ease some concerns for sure, at least it will help sort our backline out anyway. I’ve got a sourced update on exactly where we are with that potential move here.
What about Marc Cucurella from Brighton? Would you be keen on that one? What a player he is by the way, and I think any club would be excited to sign him. Chelsea are linked yet again, and here I provide you with the story on that (this has developed A LOT since I penned this article just FYI). I wanted us to sign him before we became interested in Ben Chilwell by the way, quality player.
Get all the rest of the Chelsea transfer news from the last 24 hours here, as well as any further sourced info I’ve had along with my opinions on all the news from Monday’s live blog.
I finally got to watch back our Udinese game from Friday, or at least one of them, even trying to find the highlights for Saturday’s game was near impossible! But I’ve shared my thoughts on Friday’s match here at least.
Finally, a transfer rumour to rate on a striker that we are allegedly interested in signing this window. You can check that one out here as the final article of today’s newsletter!
Have a good Tuesday!
Peace, Si.
Hey Si, has the Cucurella deal progressed further as per reports by Fabrizio or is it still in the balance as per your report?
