The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 27th June 2023!
Morning all,
This week was always going to be penultimate for Chelsea due to June coming to an end at the weekend and as many outgoings being confirmed as possible. And it’s very much keeping us on our toes here.
Once that is done, focus will turn to some arrivals and in particular, a midfield rebuild. I have a deep dive sourced article on that here to kick things off today. You can read about all the names in the title in this one, plus sourced info on outgoings.
I’d head to the live blog from yesterday now to recap on everything that went on in the last 24 hours. This is where you’ll find all confirmations of transfer deals and the latest rumours, sourced info, and quotes. Check that here.
The next place to go is to insider Ben Jacobs’ latest exclusive Chelsea transfer column for us here. Ben as always covers all the latest Chelsea transfer news including outgoings, Moises Caicedo, and much more! Not to be missed.
Kalidou Koulibaly is one player who’s departure has been officially confirmed by Chelsea as he heads to Saudi Arabia to join Al Hilal for a reported fee around £18m. People will call this signing a mistake now, which is easy in hindsight. But I explain in this part tribute, part comment, and part sourced info article here that he actually wasn’t a mistake, and it’s just been very unfortunate that it hasn’t worked out for us or for him.
Finally, a spot of housekeeping now regarding the week ahead and the weekend coming up. I never like to leave you guys without regular content coming in, and despite the fact that I am going to Benidorm on a stag do this Friday coming, thanks to the legend that is Charlie, content will continue as normal! I’ll even be still putting out any sourced news! I explain all about that here and what to expect this week and the weekend.
Get set for Chelsea legend Frank Leboeuf’s latest column with us coming out later today! No doubt Frank will have his views on many of the players being sold by Chelsea this week, and much more!
See you around 8am today on the live blog!
Peace, Si.
