Signing confirmed.

https://www.chelseafc.com/en/news/2019/07/01/farewell-to-five?cardIndex=0-0 Club have confirmed Higuain is gone!

TBF, think CHO wants reassurances over playing time. It's unlikely, but if we suddenly decide to have him play back-up to say Willian and Pedro, then he's not going stay long term, is he?

Regardless, they better confirm it on Monday!

Think that's in relation to the Kovacic deal if you see what the fella tweeted before that.

MONDAY IS HOT DAY! 🔥🔥🔥

No official confirmation yet but the club seem to have accidentally leaked it in one of the features via the app...

Just saw Guardian report what Sky Sports practically reported on CHO's contract situation. So, we have Telegraph and Evening Standard saying the contract extension is coming but Sky Sports and Guardian reporting a new deal hasn't been agreed...

We have never been one to stop someone from leaving the club if they really want to. If the club still insist that he's not for sale at this point, it means there's still a chance CHO might well stay. And besides, Matt Law and Simon Johnson reported that the contract extension is gonna happen, which contradicts Sky's own story...

Matt Law reported this yesterday... https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2019/06/27/chelsea-beat-transfer-ban-sign-mateo-kovacic/ And two days ago in the Evening Standard... https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea/chelsea-will-keep-best-academy-stars-at-stamford-bridge-with-frank-lampard-at-helm-a4176201.html?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1561547139 So, who's talking BS here...?

Lampard was apparently consulted on the Kovacic deal.. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/chelsea-agree-to-buy-mateo-kovacic-for-403m-from-real-madrid-a4177091.html

@Superblue_1986 Apologies. Just went through the squad list again as well as the rules and realized that Pulisic actually won't take up a non-HG spot in the PL for this coming season. He was born in 1998, still U-21 and will be in the U-21 list, which can be filled with unlimited amount of players. So, the revised list... Non-Homegrown (14) Kepa Caballero Rudiger Luiz Alonso Zappacosta Azpi Emerson Jorginho Kante Kovacic Pedro Willian Giroud Homegrown (4) Christensen Drinkwater Barkley Loftus-Cheek U21 (5) James Ampadu Hudson-Odoi Pulisic Mount TBD Batshuayi (non-HG) Zouma (non-HG) Bakayoko (non-HG) Abraham (HG)
