The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 2nd August 2023!
Morning all,
It’s all starting to heat up now in terms of incomings, and we have been seeing plenty of new reports of players we are targeting this week. Things seem to finally be moving on arrivals as we approach our first game of the new Premier League season next weekend.
But before that game, and before we get into all the big transfer news of late, let’s have a look at our last pre-season game of the new campaign, Borussia Dortmund in the early hours of Thursday morning. I think this is a great chance for Mauricio Pochettino to put out his best Xl before the PL starts again. I have previewed the game here and selected my predicted Xl.
Let’s get into the transfer news now. And right now things are happening very fast and new stories and new targets are coming in thick and fast. So as always, I highly recommend you have a scroll down the latest live blog each day to get the very latest on any new stories, as well as sourced snippets from us that do not go out in articles. The latest live blog can be reached here. This also features news of Chelsea interest in Tyler Adams and Edson Alvarez.
Robert Sanchez of Brighton has been one of the biggest stories of the week so far, with Chelsea putting in an offer to sign him. I wrote this update here on that situation on Tuesday morning, but anything more recent will be in the blog above. In this article though, I’ve also given my opinion on us signing him, and delivered some poll results from the community.
Two sourced stories to see you all out now. The first one here is on Moises Caicedo once again. Chelsea are still on this deal pushing to get it done. Again, this was published on Tuesday morning, so do check the blog too for any other significant developments on it.
The final one of the day is on the Dusan Vlahovic and Romelu Lukaku swap rumours. I can confirm the reports are correct, and I have a bunch more sourced info on that here, including what the terms of the proposed deal are. I also give my opinion on signing Vlahovic in this, as well as asking for yours in a poll.
That’s it for today. I need to check with Will Reyner but believe he might be getting a Dortmund match report out over night again, as obviously I will be fast asleep when it’s on!
Live blog will be up and running today as always from around 8am. Join me there!
Peace, Si.
