🚨 Tottenham agree deal to sign Jan Paul van Hecke from Brighton, here we go! 💣 New defender wanted by De Zerbi joining on £52m deal, agreement club to club done after player accepted #THFC conditions last week. All done and Vuskovic separate case, as @David_Ornstein reports.

The complex legacy of Marc Cucurella. Two mostly poor seasons. One very good season. Another that was fairly average before becoming good quite late. A wild transformation given his beginning, but irreplaceable? Not really. #CFC sonofchelsea.substack.com/p/…

🚨 Chelsea feel Xabi Alonso needs to be embedded to determine is it going to be a back 3 or a back 4, with the back 3 being Alonso’s favourite formation. I expect Chelsea to scour the market to see if there’s any starting level left backs or left wing backs available, while people are naturally going to make links with Grimaldo. Chelsea have Barco, and it may even be that Quenda will be now seen as more of wingback. Chelsea are going to be busy. (@JacobsBen @talkSPORT)

🚨 Chelsea are ready to back Xabi Alonso MORE than any other of his predecessors. Chelsea insiders say Alonso and the five sporting directors are aligned with their vision when it comes to their plans this summer. Chelsea want a partner for Levi Colwill. Multiple names have been discussed internally, though sources close to the club are keeping their cards close to their chest - a clear change from recent windows. Chelsea also want to add a central midfielder between now and the end of the transfer window, with Adam Wharton is a long-term target but the Crystal Palace midfielder is set to cost around the £100million-mark. Alex Scott's name was mentioned online towards the back end of last season but sources close to the club dismissed the links. Chelsea are also hoping to add a left-sided attacker in the coming months. Morgan Rogers is more likely to join Arsenal as it stands, with Chelsea keeping other targets again secretive.

Cucurella signed … Was awful Then was mediocre Then was decent Then went back to mediocre …. Hato can play there , Barco is coming in , and Alonso will probably have 2 already in mind aswell he wants to bring in aswell …….. Not a big loss really is it

🚨 BREAKING: Chelsea have started working on a new left back to replace Cucurella. The message from Chelsea is they will go for different players and new manager Xabi Alonso will get what he wants. (@FabrizioRomano)

Byeeeee Awful to good to average. Highs and lows so I'll take this. Who we buy will be a huge indicator as to whether we play more back 3 or 4 and the role of LB/LWB

Hall back to Chelsea anyone....

I’m genuinely lost for words. How did we let the best LB in the world go?? Cucurella was a player we bought for a lot of money and of course, he didn’t click immediately. We stayed patient with him till he found his form back and now, we’ve let him go? Sad is an understatement of what I feel. This one hurts, it hurts really deeply. It’s so unforeseen that I didn’t even have time to prepare for it. I’ll really miss having him at the club. Good luck, Cucu. Love you always. 💙

🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Real Madrid reach verbal agreement to sign Marc Cucurella from Chelsea, HERE WE GO! Verbal agreement in place between all parties, player too — he’s the left back wanted by Mourinho. Details to follow. Cucurella leaves #CFC and joins Madrid after World Cup. ⚪️🇪🇸

Man City's second offer worth £120m for Elliot Anderson has been rejected ❌

People need to stop acting like a position where Enzo got 40 G/A and been excellent for Chelsea isn’t A natural position for him. It’s just disrespectful to him at this point. In terms of his passing and distribution, yes, Enzo would be SUPERB as DLP. But I still need proof we wouldn’t get completely exposed on transitions every game in the PL.

I don’t support rioting from anyone but when BLM did it, Labour said that MPs should speak to the black community and listen to the concerns. Following the scenes in Belfast, has any Labour MP mentioned speaking to white, working class communities to listen to their concerns?

🚨BARCO GOAL! We still have an Argentine who can score goals next season it seems…

Jackson having a nightmare tonight for Senegal. Sent off for 2 fouls in 2 minutes and missed a tap in.

Estevao: “My ambition is to be the best player in the world, win the Champions League and win the World Cup."

Can this guy drop the ITK gimmick? You have no sources mate, stop lying to the fanbase again. We haven’t forgotten about last summer u larping American
