🔵Crystal Palace are poised to reject a ‘silly’ offer from Chelsea for £55million-rated Marc Guehi. The opening bid has fallen way below expectations for the England international and is set to be rebuffed. "Their offer was a long way off being a fair price. It was silly really and they need to offer more to even have a hope of getting a deal done." (via@andydillon70)

𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: Omar Marmoush will sign for Manchester City. ✍️🇪🇬🔵 [@youm7]

🚨🔵 Enzo Maresca: “For sure, Fofana and Badiashile will be out for a long time so we'll see what we decide to do on the market”. 🤔

💬Unfortunately I have to say that the last transfer window was not good!!! I would have only signed: - Neto - Jorgensen - Penders - Anselmino - Guiu - Sancho and additional players for the problem positions. Players like - Felix (also here you had to sign Joao because of Gallagher otherwise we wouldn't have gotten the good transfer fee because of the PSR rule) (Maresca doesn't trust Felix) - KDH horror transfer completely gambled away!!! (Maresca doesn't trust him) - Veiga is not a left-back for me and also too limited for our level in the DM. (Maresca doesn't trust Veiga either) - Tosin is not enough for our top 4 demands. - Wiley can't be assessed enough as he was almost only injured until now. - Kellyman (had to be signed because of Maatsen otherwise we would not have gotten the high transfer fee because of the PSR rule) should not have been pledged but the money should have been invested in the important positions!!!!🗯

BREAKING: Aaron Anselmino will join the Chelsea squad early and will be at Cobham on the 3rd of January. (@GerGarciaGrova & @urieliugt)

Gabriel Slonina has been recalled from his loan move at Barnsley. He’s back at Chelsea.
