🔵Official Emegha will not be Strasbourg’s match day squad to face Toulouse in their next game. They state that it is because the player failed to respect the club’s values, expectations and rules. He will definitely be moving to Chelsea in January. He won't be able to stick it out until the summer. He gets booed by the Strasbourg ultras at every game!

🔵According to journalist Achille Ash Mykhailo Mudryk could return to the pitch as early as January 17, 2026. On that date, his provisional doping ban could be lifted. Chelsea's management is then considering loaning him to RC Strasbourg.

Manchester United will reportedly listen to offers in January for a number of players: 🔸 Kobbie Mainoo 🔸 Joshua Zirkzee 🔸 Manuel Ugarte (@ESPN) This could mean that K. Mainoo could end up at Chelsea, as our scouts have been admiring him for quite some time!

Enzo Maresca on Dário Essugo: “Essugo is not available for the next THREE games. We need to check him, as he had a setback yesterday. “Unfortunately, it was just yesterday, so I don’t know how serious it is.” (@LloydCanfield)

🔴For this season and next, Chelsea must maintain a positive transfer balance [the cost of players added must not exceed those being removed] for any new players to be registered for their squads in European competition. (@TheAthletic)

🚨 James Trafford wants out of Manchester City just five months after his £27M move in the summer. Trafford had been signed as City's new No.1 before the club brought in Gianluigi Donnarumma on deadline day leaving him demoted to the No.2 spot. Donnarumma has started every single Premier League game since. (@Jack_Gaughan)

🔵🗯Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly set to battle it out for Brazilian wonderkid Luis Eduardo. Eduardo, 17, has been in action at the Under-17 World Cup in Qatar over recent weeks, where Portugal emerged victorious. One of those is Eduardo, with the centre back helping Brazil to come fourth, although they lost on penalties in both the semi-final and third place play-off. And, according to Spanish outlet AS, Eduardo’s performances saw him emerge as one of the standout players at the World Cup. The 17-year-old, who turns 18 next month, was Brazil’s captain and his traits, which include his incredible speed and tackling ability, have put clubs on alert. The report goes on to add that Premier League rivals Chelsea and United have already entered negotiations over a move for the centre back.

🚨🛑 Bayern president Hoeneß: “We made the right decision not to sign any of these players”, said to @SID_Sportnews… Uli mentioning Xavi Simons, Bynoe-Gittens and Šeško.

Elliot Anderson has already informed his entourage of his intention to give priority to ManCity for a future transfer. (@sachatavolieri)

🗯🗣️ Asked Enzo Maresca why he saw Reece James as a midfielder from day one. "The day after I signed for Chelsea, I sent him a video and I told him since day one I have seen him as a midfielder. Before I even met him, I sent him a clip showing he could play in midfield. "When you watch a player, you have to use a little bit of imagination. I always imagined him as a midfielder. I watched his games when he was on loan at Wigan, and I saw he scored a fantastic goal from 25 yards as a midfielder. The best thing from Reece is he is helping the team and improving as a leader." 💬Maresca on whether Reece James can play another 90 minutes against Leeds: "No, it is a no, the reality is no." "It was a fantastic performance, but we need to manage." Adds: "Chalobah had a black eye" after Hincapie duel. Seems to think it should have been 10v10.

🔵Chelsea are ready to try and convince Myles Lewis-Skelly to make the controversial move away from Arsenal. They believe they can offer him more playing time with minutes in the midfield rather than just cover at left-back for Marc Cucurella (@SimonPhillips & @Mark Brus)

🟡Dortmund Director Sebastian Kehl : “We will definitely need to pick up the phone in the next few days and give them a call. We have a very good relationship with Chelsea FC. We hope that Aaron will stay, of course” (@RNBVB via @bvbnewsblog)

Manchester City are considering triggering Antoine Semenyo’s £65million release clause in January (@TimesSport)

Estevao is unlikely to start tomorrow with Maresca carefully managing his workload. (@guardian_sport)

🔵🔥@SkyKaveh on Sky Sports News: "Speaking to people at the club, they've already go signings lined up for Summer 26, Summer 27 as well."⏳️ I wonder which players those will be...🤔

The most recent time Chelsea’s away kit was black was in the 2016-17 season, the season in which Chelsea won the Premier League title.

🔵Chelsea are reportedly showing the most interest in Olympique Marseille's 18-year-old talent, Robino Vaz. (Africa Foot)

🟢🗯💫The best players whose contracts expire in the summer of 2026 and whom Chelsea could potentially sign: -Robert Lewandowski (37) -Benzema (38) -Ruben Neves (29) -Kante (35) -Marc Guehi (26) -Mike Maignan (31) -John Stones (32) -Ibrahima Konate (27) -Dayot Upamecano (27) -Eric Garcia (25) -Dusan Vlahovic (26) -Antonio Rüdiger (33) 💬💣These two players are definitely worth keeping an eye on at Chelsea or Strasbourg, as their contracts expire on December 31, 2026: -Rayan (19) -Maher Carrizo (19)

Subs: Jorgensen, Gusto, Acheampong, Badiashile, Hato, Caicedo, Estevao, Garnacho, Guiu

Wesley Fofana is not in the squad & there have been 4 changes. [@NizaarKinsella]

100% 😁💪

PL clubs will no longer be able to sell assets like hotels and women's teams to themselves from next season to get round new financial rules. (@BBCSport)

Enzo Maresca: "Axel and Raheem are Chelsea players. Axel is helping the second team and young players. During the international break, we had just 5-6 players here and Axel was part of some sessions. It was just one session with us. At the moment, he is helping the second team and helping them." (@NizaarKinsella)

🔵According from Africafoot, Chelsea has already set its sights on the young Malian star Seydou Dembélé. The Blues' management was really impressed by the young player's enormous talent, which they had already heard about, and, according to our sources in the Kingdom of Morocco, made an initial offer of €1.6 million to sign him.

🔵Chelsea will keep going with their strategy of trying to bring in the best young talents in world football. Sam Jewell went to close the deal in South America for Deinner Ordonez and I can confirm reports that Chelsea are tracking Brazilian midfielder Felipe Morais. (@FabrizioRomano)
