Not good enough for Peterborough United or Peterborough Sports, but now good enough for Chelsea!

A central defender who flopped at Peterborough United and Peterborough Sports has signed for Chelsea.

Justin Osagie signed a one-year contract at Posh in October 2024 after a successful trial at London Road. The 19 year-old had been released by Celtic after moving to Scotland from the West Ham United Academy.

But Osagie didn’t feature in a single first team squad at Posh. He was sent on loan to National League North side Sports last season where he also didn’t impress before picking up an injury.

Posh released Osagie in May, 2025 and he started a trial at Chelsea that summer. The Londoners have now given the player an Under 21 contract. The now 20 year-old was on the bench for the Blues in a Vertu Trophy tie at Northampton Town earlier this season.

Chelsea make Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers priority targets for 2026

https://football-talk.co.uk/223114/Chelsea-make-kenan-yildiz-and-morgan-rogers-priority-targets-for-2026/

Chelsea spent a significant amount of money in the recently concluded summer transfer window in rebuilding their offence, and with enough quality and depth across positions in the final third, they are expected to strengthen their midfield soon too.

Mark Brus has reported that the Blues have already identified their priority targets for 2026 in Juventus star Kenan Yildiz and Aston Villa mainstay Morgan Rogers, while Olympique Lyon’s Malick Fofana does not sit high on their wish-list for now.

Neither Rogers, nor Yildiz will come for cheap and Chelsea will need to spend significant sums on landing both players, given that the Englishman is valued at £80 million by Villa, whereas Juve value their number 10 at £87 million.

Chelsea unlikely to sign both players

Kenan Yildiz and Morgan Rogers play largely similar roles on the pitch, and it is arguable that the latter offers more versatility due to his ability to play on both flanks in offence, as well as in a slightly deeper lying roles.

Owing to fairly identical profiles, it would come as a surprise if Chelsea end up signing both their targets for next summer, more so considering that a significant portion of their transfer budget would be channeled towards landing the attacking midfielders.

Rogers would arguably be the better signing due to his experience in the Premier League, but Yildiz, who is three years younger, and has a better potential than the Aston Villa star arguably aligns better with the Londoners’ sporting project.

In addition to acquiring a new number 10, Enzo Maresca is likely to push for defensive additions as well next year after he was forced to start this season with several absentees, whereas a number of defenders have also not lived up to expectations of late.

💬Scout Mick Brown on Maignan

Chelsea have been talked about with Mike Maignan for a long time,

'They`'ve had scouts watching him a lot ana hey know him pretty much chapter ana verse now.

"He's somebody they identified as one of ;heir top options to strengthen in goal because that's a position they want to prioritise at the moment
Their current options aren't good enough and thev feel thev are in need of an upgrade

'We know they tried to sign him in the summer but they couldn't get it over the ine, but they've already done some of the work towards bringing him in.

They'll have a good idea of his demands and what they can expect, and at the same time he'll know their plans for him ana vhere he might fit in
It's a deal they've been working on, so if somebody like Bayern Munich is in for him now, I expect Chelsea will still be confident they can get it done

'They're ahead of any of the other interested clubs because of the work they've done already."

️3 players Chelsea could sign in January?

London World have an article out on three players Chelsea 'could sign this January.

1:Kenan Yildiz: Chelsea are certainly not hort of attacking options on paper after adding both Aleiandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens among others to their attacking options but that's done nothing to silence numerous reports linking them with a move for Kenan Yildiz. According to TuttoJuve, The Juventus man was the subject of a failed bid in the region of £58m in the summer but an improved offer could still be submitted in the winter.

2:Jorthy Mokio: Chelsea are one of a number of top Premier League clubs to be linked with Aiax wonderkid Jorthy Mokio. The 17- year-old enjoyed a fine season in the Dutch capital last term and is already seen as one of the first names on the teamsheet. He car play as a defensive midfielder but also as a centre-back, which is something Chelsea could take advantage of after Levi Colwill's ACL injury.

3:Dusan Vlahovic: Former Arsenal transfer target Dusan Vlahovic is reportedly pushing for a move to the Premier League as he enters the final few months of his Juventus contract. The 25-year-old has scored 62 times in 153 matches for the Old Lady and could further enhance Chelsea's goal threat. The player is crucially free to discuss personal terms with clubs outside of Italy by January.

Best players of the last semester: eight areas

logo football observatory

Thanks to the collaboration with Impect, the CIES Football Observatory has developed performance indices on a 100 basis in eight areas of play. This Weekly Post presents the 50 outfield footballers with the highest values in each domain for the last six-month domestic league games, with each player appearing only in the ranking for the area in which they scored highest.

The following players head the tables in the different areas : Virgil van Dijk (air defence), Moisés Caicedo (ground defence), Rúben Dias (defensive build-up), Pedri González (orchestration), Michael Olise (take on), Lamine Yamal (chance creation), Kylian Mbappé (finishing) and Erling Haaland (air attack).

The youngest players in the top 50 of each category are as follows : Eivind Helland (air defence), Agustín Medina (ground defence), Pau Cubarsí (defensive build-up), Warren Zaïre-Emery (orchestration), Estêvão Willian (take on), Lamine Yamal (chance creation), Franco Mastantuono (finishing) and Thierno Barry (air attack).

Chelsea might trigger a buyback clause to re-sign Belgium midfielder Diego Moreira, 21, from sister club Strasbourg. (TBR Football)

What is this love affair with MF's, when we need defenders and keeper.

Because if you control the mid you win the game and as well that helps the defense. 

I actually think the mid is the most important. 

Pep biggest achievement have been from a midfield that controls everything.

🟢Breaking News🟢 Chelsea are closing in on the appointment of former Liverpool director of scouting Dave Fallows.

Senior role ready for Fallows as he’s gonna be part of the current structure including Paul Winstanley, Laurence Stewart, Joe Shields and Sam Jewell.

New Structure:

Dave Fallows

Paul Winstanley

Laurence Stewart

Joe Shields

Sam Jewell

(@Fabrizio Romano)

 

🔥👌Dave Fallows could be a very good fitfor Chelsea👌🔥

I read a few days ago that Al-Ahli wants to sign Paul Winstanley!

I think D. Fallows (65) and David Weir (55)
could join the team now.

Both are older and have several years of top-level experience.

If Dave Fallows joins, I hope he brings Ian Graham (46) with him!

 

🙌💪The appointment of Dave Fallows is massive news for Chelsea.

He was an important cog in Liverpool’s recruitment under Jürgen Klopp, widely seen as among the best in class.

This is the first major change to the structure since the appointment of the Sporting Directors in 22/23.
