BREAKING: Chelsea are in contact with Gittens camp and have offered him €6-7m a year, doubling his current salary, Dortmund request £42-50m. Chelsea believe such a talented English player should play in the Premier League. (@berger_pj)

Enzo Maresca snaps at a reporter and questions him for asking if not finishing top five would be seen as a failure. #CFC Maresca: “I've already answered this one a few times. Compared to the last few years, it is not a failure. How many times have Chelsea been in the Champions League in the last few seasons? Zero. It's already an improvement because we have spent all season there.” [@BobbyVincentFL] And you wonder why the players are not motivated to play and perform when your manager says before every match we are not in the championship race it is not bad not to be in the 1-5 I was never told I have to win something in 1 year blah blah blah

🟡Benoit Badiashile has been placed in the STAY at Chelsea category.🤢 🟤One of the factors behind Chelsea considering signing a new CB is because of Fofana’s injury issues. He is still highly regarded at the club, but given he has started just 26 PL games since joining from Leicester City, they have to factor in his injury record. ⚫️Chelsea are thinking about Mamadou Sarr staying on loan at Strasbourg for a season so he can develop further. 🟣Aaron Anselmino will be loaned out next season and there is interest from Champions League and Europa League clubs. 🔴There is a more of a question mark over Tosin and whether he is content with a back-up role. 🟠Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga are for SALE. As part of the agreement with Disasi advisors, Chelsea promised to work together to find a permanent transfer for him in the next window. Chelsea are likely to listen to offers for #Veiga to make a sizeable profit. 🔵Trevoh Chalobah is for SALE Chalobah will be a different story because Chelsea tried to sell the academy graduate last summer. He has played 27 times for Chelsea & Palace this season. This will help Chelsea’s chances of receiving a decent permanent fee. ✅️Levi Colwill is still being monitored by many teams. But sources insist the England international is not for sale. (All News via@SJohnsonSport) ‼️The signing of the new Central defender depends on exits. Those on the shortlist are: 1. Bournemouth CB, Dean Huijsen 2. Crystal Palace CB, Marc Guehi 3. Everton CB, Jarrad Branthwaite (@TheAthleticFC)
