Chelsea and Arsenal are among the latest clubs to show a strong interest in the potential transfer of River Plate wonderkid Franco Mastantuono.

Chelsea are amongst a host of top European clubs to have expressed an interest in 18 year old centre back Vitor Reis. (@TheAthleticFC)

Sanchez Madueke and Fofana are all shit out of the 11 eleven please

Badiashile, Chilwell, KDH, Carney, Casadei and Guiu do not make it onto our top line-up Bank✅️

Castello Lukeba is one of the names Chelsea are following. (@FabrizioRomano)

💬 Millwall & England U15 left back Emmanuel Ayinde has signed for Chelsea 👀🤝🏼 He’s one of the most exciting young full backs coming up in the country right now. Had all the top clubs scouting him. Big signing for Cobham.✅️

Mykhaylo Mudryk could push for a move away from Chelsea to reignite his career, sources have told Pete O'Rourke. The Premier League giants are now open to letting him leave in the January transfer window after he has fallen down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge. The signing of Jadon Sancho has led to limited game time for the Ukraine international, as the former Man United star has been pushed into the starting lineup.

Man City appear to have secured a potentially significant victory in their legal battle with the Premier League over the rules designed to limit how much associated parties can pay clubs in sponsorship, reports @TimesSport. The main thing is that our deal with Infinite Athlete has been scrutinized for weeks and City has been getting away with it for years!!! 🤢🤢

Too bad Chelsea almost signed Lukeba in the summer of 2022 for €43m today RB Leipzig is asking €75-€90M for him.😵‍💫 https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2022/lyon-turned-down-summer-offer-from-Chelsea-for-defender-castello-lukeba/

Inter Milan are interested in signing Benoit Badiashile as they believe he would fit into Simone Inzaghi system. The French CB is valued at €20m-€25m.

🗣️ Enzo Maresca: "I said that we are ahead of where we expected to be today but not in terms of results; in terms of progression and how we are playing. In terms of results, we are far from City and Arsenal because we need to learn many things."

Enzo Maresca on Romeo Lavia and Malo Gusto: "Malo is available for tomorrow. Romeo is not available for tomorrow, hopefully he can be for the Brighton game." (@BobbyVincentFL)

Enzo Maresca on Reece James: "Unfortunately we don’t have an idea [when James will be back] at the moment. In terms of injuries in the past, we always hope we can find the right solution."

Chelsea want to get rid of several fringe players in January and £62M winger Mykhailo Mudryk is among those who could leave. Axel Disasi, Carney Chukwuemeka (£40m Exit clause), Cesare Casadei, Benoit Badiashile and Ben Chilwell could also be sold in the winter window. (Source: @TEAMtalk) ✅️👌

TBR Football understands that Chelsea are in the market for a new right-back in January as they continue to have huge worries over their captain, Reece James. Enzo Maresca was forced to press Axel Disasi into action at the weekend. #Chelsea may be tempted to sell Josh Acheampong for the right price, with Newcastle United monitoring the 18-year-old right-back. 😟😵‍💫

Ben Chilwell will return to first-team training this week and Enzo Maresca is under pressure to hand him game time in order to improve the possibility of selling him in January.

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)
