More from Matt Law Matt Law: "I would expect Andrey Santos to be part of the Club World Cup squad. At least one of the goalkeepers out of Petrovic and Penders, if not both, will go to the Club World Cup. “The lad coming in from Strasbourg, the defender, Mamadou Saar. I think he will go to the Club World Cup. I don't, I don't know for sure on Estevão, I don't know for sure. Kendrick Paez, definitely, I think, will go to the Club World Cup. Matt Law on Kendry Paez: "He's in England now. He's basically staying in England. He's doing some training in Strasbourg. He's training at Chelsea. “He's not going back now, at any any point, he is over here. He is being integrated, and he would be part of that Club World Cup as well." "I don't really see a scenario where Nico [Jackson] moves out to the left, and that becomes his position. “And I don't think Nico would particularly accept that. Really, I could see a scenario where if someone came in with a good bid for Nico, they'd consider selling him. That is a guess. "Chelsea really like Marc Guiu. He's not going anywhere.”

🔴Arsenal have stepped up their pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres, who's available for a cut-price fee this summer. @FrazFletcher

🟡Matt Law on Chelsea targets for number 9 position: 🎙 "Liam Delap is definitely on the radar, not just of the manager, but the club like him as well as the manager. You've then got Sesko, who also has a release clause. I think Osimhen is still a possibility as well. I don't think that's completely off the table. They're the three that I'm certain are on a list." 🔵Penders isn't getting sold, no chance. Jorgensen isn't getting sold after one year, no chance. So out of Petrovic and Sanchez, one of them is going to end as one of the first two goalkeepers, and one of them is getting sold. @Matt_Law_DT 🟢Matt Law says the only way he sees Chelsea buying a GK this summer is if a ‘superstar option’ becomes available. Who would be that in YOUR eyes?

BREAKING: BlueCo are planning to sign Emanuel Emegha for Chelsea from Strasbourg. "It’s on the table!", @MohamedTERParis 🤔Jackson 2.0 He is damn quick, very bad in the air and still misses a lot of top chances even though he has scored a lot of goals this season!!!!

🤕 Romeo Lavia has played 14 matches for Chelsea in 20 months. He's started 9 games, completing zero. He's played more than 45 minutes just 7 times. (@tomcoley49)

Liam Delap has a release clause in the region of £40million if Ipswich are relegated from the Premier League. Manchester United have held discussions internally but will face competition from Chelsea, Liverpool, Newcastle and Manchester City who have a buyback option. (via@ChrisWheelerDM)

🚨🔵 Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is being scouted by top clubs, including Chelsea. (@alex_crook) 🔴AFC Bournemouth puts the price tags on the players: (Milos Kerkez - £45m) (Antoine Semenyo - £75m) (Dean Huijsen - £50m release clause) (Ilya Zabarnyi - £50m) for transfers in the summer of 2025. (The Times)

🚨 Barring any last-minute surprises, João Félix will be back at Chelsea; then they will decide whether to keep him or try to find a different solution. Maybe in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, or maybe some opportunity in Portugal with Benfica. We will see. (@FabrizioRomano) 🟤Kyle Walker in the last Match to Felix "PASS THE BALL WE ARE NOT MESSI"😳😳😳

🔴Arsenal developing strong interest in Viktor Gyokeres as possible striker signing. Andrea Berta firm admirer of 26yo SportingCP forward - expected to figure prominently among AFC options + may be more realistic than Isak. (via@David_Ornstein)

‼️ Chelsea have been considering for months the possibility of submitting an offer for Rafael Leao. The Blues will try to exploit their relationship with Jorge Mendes, but with the knowledge that for less than €100m Milan wouldn't open discussions for the winger. via@86_longo

‼️ I would be surprised as things stand if Jadon Sancho ends up as a Chelsea player. via@SJohnsonSport

The loans of French midfielder Mathis Amougou and Ecuadorian striker Kendry Paez [from Chelsea to Strasbourg] are almost completed. ‼️The proposed Mamadou Sarr's move from Strasbourg to Chelsea in the summer would be banned by UEFA if both clubs qualify for the same UEFA competition. (via@lequipe) 🔵Chelsea are interested in Ousmane Diomande. The fee could be close to what they paid for Geovany Quenda. via@LuisCoelho51

Chelsea's first team lost 3:0 to the U21s on Wednesday Chelsea's U21s (including some U16s) beat Enzo Maresca's squad of non-internationals (including Gusto Badiashile, Tosin, Lavia, Sancho Nkunku etc) thanks to goals from Donnell McNeilly (2) and Chizzy Ezenwata. [via @thechelseaspot)

🇸🇳 Strasbourg have agreed deal to sign 17 year old winger Yaya Diémé to join from Senegal from 2026 when he turns 18. BlueCo Group (with potential future view on Chelsea move) have been following and monitoring him for months and now closed a deal. (@taggatsn)

🚨 Jadon Sancho has submitted a transfer request to his management to move to Borussia Dortmund again. MUFC [@BILD] 🟡The Sancho to Dortmund story could have something to do with Gittens to Chelsea for us!!! Unfortunately I'm not convinced Gittens will bring us goals and danger down the wings he's been playing really average at BVB since mid January!!!! These are all the players who have moved from the Bundesliga to Chelsea in the last 25 years: -Werner -Nkunku -Sancho -Havertz -Pulisic -Ballack -Schürrle -Pizarro -Marin -Boulahrouz These players also all overperformed in Germany and were mostly flops or just ok players with us!!!! I think they want Gittens because of the homegrown rule and because Joe Shields brought him to City back then and still rates him highly.🤔 We already have enough of those players in our squad!!!

Aurelio De Laurentiis has warned his intermediaries: Victor Osimhen will be sold to the highest bidder! With a release clause set at €75m, applicable only to foreign clubs, the Napoli president has already called upon the best agents on the market to quickly resolve this thorny issue. via@sachatavolieri

Chelsea expected to sign Sancho Chelsea are still expected to sign Jadon Sancho permanently in the summer despite the emergence of a get-out clause existing in the deal. @SkySportsNews Well great another transfer like Felix of a poorly performing player because they have to give him away next year because he doesn't deliver!!!

Breaking News Real Madrid are now moving forward with the Dean Huijsen file. Although Chelsea has already made inquiries, the central defender has decided to leave England this summer. via@sachatavolieri 😡😮‍💨

🟢Chelsea could see Jadon Sancho depart the club in the summer, despite being set to add the Englishman to their ranks in a permanent capacity from Manchester United - with sources revealing that Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen could be queuing up to land him in the summer transfer window. (via@DeanJones) 🔵Chelsea have closed doors however for Kepa, Chilwell, Disasi, Broja and Sterling, it’s OVER for them. Kepa Arrizabalaga is out of the Chelsea project. Bournemouth are open to keeping the player on a permanent transfer. If Chelsea get a good proposal for João Félix, I think he could possibly leave permanently. The door is not closed at Chelsea, though. (via@FabrizioRomano) 🟣A lot of planning is going into this as well as possible exits. The desire is to have a group of 23 to 24 outfield players who the club believe will be strong enough to compete in the Premier League, domestic cups and European competition should they qualify. Chelsea sources have revealed the club intend to do the majority of their in’s and out’s by the end of June, including a striker and right footed winger. Chelsea have been working on these deals for months. Chelsea are confident they can sell many of the current loan players because they have benefitted from playing elsewhere, apart from Andrey Santos, who is staying. (via@SJohnsonSport) 🔴FC Liverpool are set to beat Chelsea and Newcastle to the summer signing of Marc Guehi. The Reds held talks THIS WEEK with Marc Guehi's representatives. Guehi is expected to leave Crystal Palace. The Palace star for a cut-price fee of around £50-60 million in this summer. (via@DaveOCKOP & @SportsPeteO) ⚫️David Ornstein recently confirmed that Isak is a Liverpool target. Any move for Isak would likely shatter Liverpool’s transfer record, currently standing at the £85 million package paid for Darwin Nunez. Reports suggest Newcastle would demand well in excess of £100 million for their prized asset. And it seems that the Reds are now looking to accelerate a transfer for the Swedish international. 🟤The thinking is that sales will fund the purchase of a centre-forward and winger, while also being good for the books in general. Players will still be loaned out too. For example, Mathis Amougou is already being lined up to join Strasbourg. (via@TheAthleticFC)

Chelsea must pay Manchester United £5m if Jadon Sancho loan is not turned permanent in summer. 24yo winger left MUFC on temporary basis with buy obligation worth up to £25m but CFC can opt out for set fee. via@David_Ornstein @liam_twomey @SJohnsonSport @TheAthleticFC ‼️FC Sevilla are very interested in signing Mykhailo Mudryk in the summer. And the player would welcome his arrival at Sevilla. It will all depend on the resolution of the CAS, although Sevilla have already started moving their cards to get ahead of the rest of the competition. {Sport}

Filip Jorgensen clearly did not do enough in his Premier League audition to convince Maresca of his superiority to Sanchez. via@liam_twomey The nightmare is born🙆‍♂️😡 Malmo's academy goalkeeping coach Matt Pyzdrowski on Mike Penders: 🗣 “The two goalkeepers he reminds me of are Courtois and Ederson. He’s kind of a mix of the two.” Pyzdrowski: “He’s not as composed with the ball at his feet as Ederson yet, but what I really like about Penders is his ability to go long. He’s able to stretch the field just like Ederson and start counter-attacks from nothing, which is a huge asset. The way he hits the ball is fast, direct, but also very accurate.” 🙏 via@TheAthleticFC John Terry on Reece James best position: “I agree with that [Tuchel's assessment]. I see him as a defender. I don't like it, to be honest, people drifting in [to midfielder] I think it is more confusing.” (via@NizaarKinsella)

Nottingham Forest have made contact with Swedish striker Viktor Gyökeres.🇸🇪 Sources confirm that the Premier League club have contacted his representatives. via@stevek9KS1TV
