Arsenal officially confirmed our Champions League qualification for next season and top four spot simply by being Arsenal and being awful, and I’ve got my reflections on Chelsea making top four amongst all the turmoil here.
With four defenders almost certainly leaving this summer, there are a few replacements going to be needed. One of those could still be Levi Colwill, who has just helped his loan club reach the final of the Championship playoffs. I’ve got a piece on him here pondering his future.
A transfer rumour to rate now and it is regarding Real Madrid midfielder Casemiro, who has been linked to Chelsea this week. Check that out here.
