Reece James remains out with a hamstring injury, with no sign of an imminent return. (@NizaarKinsella)

‼️Chelsea could be open to selling Mykhailo Mudryk in the January transfer window if he doesn't improve his form over the next three months. 💬💬

Wesley Fofana has admitted that he “weighed up” a shock approach from Marseille in the summer transfer window, however, he added that he could also spend the rest of his career at Chelsea Wesley Fofana: "I would be lying if I said I didn’t weigh it up [Marseille's summer offer]. It touched me and I think everyone knows why [I support them]. I thought about it but... the current objective is to succeed at Chelsea..." (@GFFN)

So Lavia and Reece James are yet to return to training. That means no chance of making the squad for Bournemouth. I thought Lavia’s injury isn't serious. 😵‍💫😵‍💫

John Obi Mikel confirms that Chelsea agreed a deal with Osimhen but ran out of time to complete the deal: 🎙️ "I know what the club offered him. I know where we got to. We finally go to a compromise. It was just some little things here and there, paperwork, medical and few issues that we just couldn't get over the line. We didn't have much time, the one time you want the seconds and minutes and hours to slow down a bit, it just didn't work. Definitely, I think both sides really, really played their part in terms of getting the deal done. And I commend Chelsea for that, because I could see the ambition of where they want to take this club now and and also on Victor's side, how much he really wanted to come to the club. And he was disappointed it didn't happen. He was disappointed." John Obi Mikel on Osimhen to Chelsea’s collapsed deal: 🎙️ "Yeah, we were very, very close. I put it that way, we were very, very close. We were just moments away from getting this deal done, but it was just, slight issues, slight little problems, that we just couldn't get over the line. And of course, the medical couldn't be done as well, even if we get the deal done, it was too late. But I know exactly where we stopped. I know exactly where we are with the deal. And if eventually, you know, say, January or whatever, we have to pick it up again, then I know exactly where we are and where we have to start from." 🎙️ John Obi Mikel: "I know a lot of people say, Oh, he [Victor Osimhen] didn't want to come to the club [Chelsea], that's not true. Victor really wanted to come to the club, because he still knows he has a lot to prove in Europe. He wants to come to Chelsea. He wants to come in and help the club to get back to where we should be. He knows he can score a lot of goals in the Premier League, and what a better place to do that than his childhood club Chelsea." via@obionepodcast

Understand Clearlake Capital remain very relaxed about the situation behind the scenes. The two options for Todd Boehly are very clear: sell his shares or don't. Clearlake won't consider selling 61.5% stake in Chelsea. via@BobbyVincent Under the terms of the ownership agreement, Boehly cannot sell to a third party without permission from Clearlake. via@JacobSteinberg

Reece James is unlikely to be fit enough to start against Chelsea's next opponent, Bournemouth. He is still thought to be a couple of weeks away from returning to full training. (@Matt_Law_DT) 🤢😵‍💫😵‍💫 250,000 pounds per weeks Romeo Lavía due to start training again with a view to being fit for the Bournemouth game. (@Matt_Law_DT) 🙌🙌

Flamengo is trying to sign Deivid Washington from Chelsea on loan. (@geglobo)

Ângelo Gabriel is close to moving to Al-Nassr . They want him to fill the last U21 foreign vacancy. Chelsea have rejected two offers of £21 million and £25 million. They want £33 million. (@venecasagrande)

Maresca says Malo Gusto has a muscular problem and added 'we will see'. #CFC Disasi🤮🤮

Maresca needs to stop with the shitty line up our RB are intevening with!!!! Since we play like this James and Gusto is just shit!!! Why does it have to be RB and not LB Cucu was best in that role last season now he's back to the old one we would or want to sell!!! Shit game shit formation shit result!!!

Yes I hope for D.Costa as TW in return for R.Sanchez and a few million to Porto✅️👌 In CB I would replace Murillo for Badiashile and Tomás Araújo or Antonio Silva for Disasi✅️💪 In the forwards Gyokeres, Duran or Vlahovic for Guiu and Mudryk on loan.

Chelsea’s obligation to buy clause in Sancho’s contract will be triggered if they finish in top 14 of PL this season. The purchase fee is between £20m & £25m depending on where Chelsea finish. The higher they finish the higher the fee @TelegraphDucker

Chilwell has already been offered to Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce, with their Turkish international Ferdi Kadioglu completing a late-August move to Brighton & Hove Albion. @JacobsBen

Chelsea made between 5-7 proposals to try and sign Victor Osimhen, but none of them came “even close” to his Napoli salary. Chelsea tried a base wage plus add ons for UCL qualification and goals scored. They did their best for FFP. (@FabrizioRomano) End of the Saga!!

West Ham were told loan + obligation for Carney but didn’t want to do that, interesting to see if he’s re-integrated.

Chelsea's deal for Jadon Sancho has gone through.✍️ (Ben Jacobs)

Everton sign Armando Broja from Chelsea on season-long loan. Deal includes £30m option to buy. No fee for temporary switch + #EFC to cover none of 22yo striker’s #CFC wage until recovered from injury - contributed to #ITFC move collapsing @TheAthleticFC

Datro Fofana to Sunderland is OFF❌️

What has actually become of the Gabriel Mec deal...?🤔

Sancho’s not happening and Broja and Sterling staying. 🤣🤣

Deals that didn’t happen revealed : Carney Chukwuemeka to Frankfurt Alex Matos to Getafe (@iamrahmanosman)
