Darren Bent reveals Jack Grealish is raving about Mason Mount in private

https://www.Chelsea-news.co/2021/07/video-darren-bent-reveals-jack-grealish-raving-mason-mount-private/

Jack Grealish was chatting to Darren Bent recently, perhaps not knowing that the former Spurs and Villa striker was going on TalkSport, and according to Bent he was raving about Mason Mount.

Mount and Grealish have been set up as rivals, considering they play the same position, but in fact they seem to be great friends and are always complimentary about each other.

Grealish apparently was “beaming over Mount” when he chatted to Darren, which to be fair is how most Chelsea fans are when they talk about their golden boy.

You can see Bent speaking in the clip embedded here:

we now have 54 players to sort out  

whether sell, keep on main team, loan out, renew, release, or keep on reserves/youth

Red means SELL/Release them (there is around £150 to £175m to be had (granted we will have to eat some of Kepa's salary I am afraid, just to move him even at a massive loss in terms of fee), and that is at super cut-rate prices, near zero in multiple cases, the depressing part is almost all are still fairly young and the total transfer fee cost was around £300m (some are academy), again just for those in red, and that is NOT counting massive salaries we have eaten on them, nor is it taking into account tens upon tens of millions in turned down decent offers (FAR greater than we will sell them for now) that we fucked off on and demanded insanely too high prices)

Given Barca's position, if the top striking targets are unobtainable this summer I wouldn't be against taking Griezmann off them for a season loan. 

I think he would mesh well in our current setup, and he's always had a good work ethic and eye for goal.

Not a good day to be suggesting Griezmann...

In focus: Pedri

Spain's boy wonder: The 18-year-old Barcelona midfielder - who somehow looks even younger - has been key to his nation reaching the Euro 2020 semi-finals. Team-mate Alvaro Morata hasn't been shy in praising the starlet, saying if Pedri stays injury-free "he will undoubtedly be one of the best players in the history of Spain". No pressure then. Sam Dean takes a look at what makes Pedri so special and how he made his mark at this tournament.

[MoroccanBlue 5,320]

Pedri is special. Iniestas true heir.

Pre-season week, Hudson-Odoi stays, Two GKs looked at, Midfielder updates, Truth on Haaland

All feature in our latest Chelsea FC Newsletter

The smile on his face says it all, but Callum Hudson-Odoi looks almost certain to be staying at Chelsea for another season at the very least, and as you know that also makes me very happy.

I have a strong belief that there is a real player in there, and it sounds like Thomas Tuchel is determined to get that out of him. Read all about that here.

Hudson-Odoi will be one of the players joining Tuchel and his coaching team back at Cobham this week, with some of them already filtering in to do Covid-19 tests etc.

Now admittedly, I assumed training would begin right away on the Monday, but that wasn’t the case and we could have to wait a few days for that - find out more and what the plans are here.

Onto some transfer news, but once again nothing majorly significant. I’ll maintain as I always do, this doesn’t mean that nothing is happening, still plenty of time left.

But Chelsea are looking at the goalkeeper situation, that I do know. With Willy Caballero gone, and Kepa Arrizabalaga potentially going as well, Chelsea are eyeing a couple of free agents, you can check in on that situation here.

The midfield situation also looks to be heating up a little, and we have all read the stories of Declan Rice rejecting two West Ham contracts over the last few days.

So get the latest on our midfield targets and what is happening with that, here.

Finally, our man Dan McCarthy jotted down his thoughts, knowledge, and information on the truth about Erling Haaland to Chelsea, you can read that here.

Anyways, I’m getting ready to have Gareth Southgate make me eat my own words this week by getting us to the finals of the Euros. I’m buzzing for it, and I’m actually finally starting to feel confident!

It’s coming home… !

SKY BET CHAMPIONSHIP

WHAT IS THE LATEST NEWS WITH TREVOH CHALOBAH AND WEST BROMWICH ALBION?

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/what-is-the-latest-news-with-trevoh-chalobah-and-west-bromwich-albion/

Valerien Ismael has already made his first signing as manager of West Bromwich Albion with the acquisition of Alex Mowatt from Barnsley to bolster an area of the field that needs work doing.

The Frenchman returned to a player he knows well from his eight months managing the Tykes, with Mowatt scoring eight times and captained a side that ended the season in the Championship’s top six.

Mowatt may not be the only midfield signing that the Baggies make though as they have been linked with Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah this week.

Football Insider reported that the 22-year-old is a target for the Midlands club on a permanent basis having spent the last three seasons out on loan from Stamford Bridge.

Two of those were in the Football League with Ipswich and Huddersfield, but Chalobah moved to French side Lorient last season and played 29 times in Ligue 1 – France’s top flight.

And the latest news is on his next movements are that West Brom’s interest in him is genuine, as per Express & Star reporter Joseph Masi.

According to Masi, Chelsea have made Chalobah available for transfer so a deal is there to be done for the versatile defensive player.

Despite playing as a holding midfielder in both of his loan spells in England, Chalobah spent more time at centre-back for Lorient, and with Ismael favouring a three at the back formation, Chalobah could be potentially arriving as part of a trio.

If the Baggies really are keen on bringing Chalobah into the fold then a deal could be potentially done by the end of the week – and it may need to be wrapped up by then to fend off any other clubs who may want to enter the race for the youngster.

Kessie's agent: "Only a coup d'etat can send the President away from Milan"

The midfielder wants to remain AC Milan but expects an important offer for the renewal

[Pizy 18,512]

I don’t know what’s more surprising, that we haven’t done a thing in the market yet or that Man City haven’t. I expected their owners to be uber pissed off at losing to us in the final and going on a mega spending spree early in the summer.

Guess they’re waiting for Kane? But with Levy in the equation surely they can’t bank all their hopes on that deal happening.

TBF, they did win the league and a domestic cup last season and they still have a strong squad. Don't think they are in a desperate need to buy players, even though they might want to buy Kane etc.
