Chelsea have remained in contact with Antonio Rüdiger’s entourage as they remain interested in a reunion with the player. (@Marca)

EXCL: Aston Villa reach agreement with Morgan Rogers on new contract. Previous deal 2030; fresh terms 2031 with significantly improved salary. Despite strong interest from PL + foreign suitors, 23yo AVFC midfielder to sign in coming days. (@DavidOrnstein)

😒🤐Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea rotation policy has the full backing of the club’s ownership and sporting directors. Chelsea accept the rotation is likely to provide bumps in the road, such as the draw at Qarabag, in the first half of the season but believe it will bring long-term reward. (@Matt_Law)

Marescaball💪

Maresca on Lavia: "It's a shame for him. He is not able to be fit for a long period, we will see.

🔥Breaking News🔥BlueCo, led by Todd Boehly, the current owners of Chelsea and Strasbourg are in advanced talks to buy FC Santos!

We won't grow any further with this coach. Maresca keeps making the same mistakes and sticks to his Plan A no matter what! And he always rewards the wrong players who show nothing and play like crap! Get lost, Maresca. 🔴Interesting to know how Andrey and Lavia feel that a RB is favoured over them. 3 man midfield would have done us a solid today imo.

💪🔥 Chelsea Football Club are pleased to announce the appointment of Dave Fallows to the Club's Sporting Leadership Team, joining the Club on 1 November on a contract through 2031. Dave Fallows will lead areas of football development, focusing on scouting and data, loans and player pathways, and overall football staff development and evolution. The Sporting Leadership Team, headed by Co-Sporting Directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley, includes Sam Jewell and Joe Shields with whom Dave will work closely as part of the club’s integrated football leadership structure.

Enzo Maresca on Liam Delap: "After the yellow card, I told him four or five times to stay calm. When he is on the pitch, he sometimes plays the game for himself and struggles to see the others around him." (@BobbyVincentFL)

Embarrassing. Enzo Maresca reacted in panic and brought out the big guns, but when they took to the field, we actually looked even worse! I don't see Maresca as a man who coaches with confidence at the moment, and that's really worrying.

Fucking Marescaball 🫡🤬🤬🤬

Chelsea wants to extend and increase Malo Gusto's contract, who already has a contract until 2030. Discussions are ongoing between all parties. (@FabriceHawkins) 🤐

🟢⚪️Celtic have reportedly reached out to Chelsea regarding their U21 coach, Calum McFarlane, for the position of first team coach. Chelsea has allowed Celtic to speak with the 39yo, although discussions have not yet taken place. (@Glasgow_Times)

🟢Breaking News🟢 Chelsea are closing in on the appointment of former Liverpool director of scouting Dave Fallows. Senior role ready for Fallows as he’s gonna be part of the current structure including Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, Joe Shields and Sam Jewell. New Structure: Dave Fallows Paul Winstanley Laurence Stewart Joe Shields Sam Jewell (@Fabrizio Romano) 🔥👌Dave Fallows could be a very good fitfor Chelsea👌🔥 I read a few days ago that Al-Ahli wants to sign Paul Winstanley! I think D. Fallows (65) and David Weir (55) could join the team now. Both are older and have several years of top-level experience. If Dave Fallows joins, I hope he brings Ian Graham (46) with him! 🙌💪The appointment of Dave Fallows is massive news for Chelsea. He was an important cog in Liverpool’s recruitment under Jürgen Klopp, widely seen as among the best in class. This is the first major change to the structure since the appointment of the Sporting Directors in 22/23.

(@BILD) ⚪️Beşiktaş management has identified Chelsea defender Axel Disasi as their primary target in January. (@Fotomac) 🔴Chelsea and Brighton are keeping close tabs on Lazio defender Mario Gila. (@FrazFletcher) 💬Scout Mick Brown on Maignan Chelsea have been talked about with Mike Maignan for a long time, 'They`'ve had scouts watching him a lot ana hey know him pretty much chapter ana verse now. "He's somebody they identified as one of ;heir top options to strengthen in goal because that's a position they want to prioritise at the moment Their current options aren't good enough and thev feel thev are in need of an upgrade 'We know they tried to sign him in the summer but they couldn't get it over the ine, but they've already done some of the work towards bringing him in. They'll have a good idea of his demands and what they can expect, and at the same time he'll know their plans for him ana vhere he might fit in It's a deal they've been working on, so if somebody like Bayern Munich is in for him now, I expect Chelsea will still be confident they can get it done 'They're ahead of any of the other interested clubs because of the work they've done already." ⚫️3 players Chelsea could sign in January? London World have an article out on three players Chelsea 'could sign this January. 1:Kenan Yildiz: Chelsea are certainly not hort of attacking options on paper after adding both Aleiandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens among others to their attacking options but that's done nothing to silence numerous reports linking them with a move for Kenan Yildiz. According to TuttoJuve, The Juventus man was the subject of a failed bid in the region of £58m in the summer but an improved offer could still be submitted in the winter. 2:Jorthy Mokio: Chelsea are one of a number of top Premier League clubs to be linked with Aiax wonderkid Jorthy Mokio. The 17- year-old enjoyed a fine season in the Dutch capital last term and is already seen as one of the first names on the teamsheet. He car play as a defensive midfielder but also as a centre-back, which is something Chelsea could take advantage of after Levi Colwill's ACL injury. 3:Dusan Vlahovic: Former Arsenal transfer target Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly pushing for a move to the Premier League as he enters the final few months of his Juventus contract. The 25-year-old has scored 62 times in 153 matches for the Old Lady and could further enhance Chelsea's goal threat. The player is crucially free to discuss personal terms with clubs outside of Italy by January. 💭According to outlets in Brazil 𝙍𝙊𝘽𝙄𝙉𝙃𝙊'𝙎 𝙎𝙊𝙉 Robson Jr. from FC Santos being monitored of Chelsea & Liverpool!

💬Murillo is on Chelsea’s list of targets according to former Man United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told that the 23-year-old has emerged as a standout option for Maresca. “Murillo has done a really, really good job for Forest,” Brown said. “He was a big part of their success last season, but it hasn’t quite clicked for him or for them this season so a few questions might start being asked. “Chelsea need a centre-back, they’re not good enough at the back to challenge for the title. “They are aware of that and it’s something they’re going to look at in January, because they’ve suffered a lot of injuries already this season. “Murillo of course will be on their radar, he has been for a while because he’s been fantastic for Nottingham Forest, and they’re not the only club looking at him. “If Forest continue to struggle, they could look to take advantage of that situation to tempt him away. “I think he’d certainly be an improvement on what they’ve got currently, the likes of [Trevoh] Chalobah and the rest of them who’ve been called upon. “If it’s a deal they think can be done, then it wouldn’t surprise me to see them make a move, because I’m told he’s definitely somebody they’re looking at.”

BREAKING; Cole Palmer has a strained groin and will be out for weeks, with November as the likeliest return. (@kierangill_DM)

@GraemeBailey says Vlahovic targets Chelsea move: 🗣 "Once again his people are touching base with potential landing spots – Chelsea and Tottenham have been spoken to by intermediaries. Much will depend on whether he wants a ‘pay day’ – he won’t get that in England."

⚫️Chelsea have NO plans to sign a centre back in January and they will not be signing a goalkeeper in January or next summer. Sanchez, Jorgensen and Penders are regarded as being good enough. ⚪️Filip Jorgensen is regarded highly and was a target for some of England’s biggest clubs In the summer. 🔴Chelsea looked at a centre back in the summer but the only high quality one available was Huijsen, who chose to join Real Madrid. (@SkyKaveh) 🔵Chelsea staff are very optimistic about what the future holds for Shim Mheuka! 🟤Sources say he is “one of, if not the most regular” academy players to join in with Enzo Maresca with 1st team training, participating in their sessions even more consistently than Maresca’s favourite youngster, Reggie Walsh. (@MrDomSmith) 🟢Chelsea are working to find clubs for Raheem Sterling and Axel Disasi in January. The players are keeping fit and it is also up to them to agree to any deal which may materialise. 🟡Tyrique George is likely to leave Chelsea in January! 🟣Marc Guiu will be staying at Chelsea for the ‘whole season’.
