 • The player only wants a move to Chelsea despite interest from other clubs.  Rennes star Jeremy Jacquet is reportedly holding out for a transfer move to Chelsea this January window or at the end of the season, despite strong interest from several top teams. It has been claimed that the player has asked to join Chelsea. The club have come to an agreement over a deal for the defender and it was only a matter of time before an announcement was made by the clubs hierarchy. However – in recent weeks the possible move has stalled because Chelsea seemingly do not want to meet the asking price that has been set by the French club, but that does not seem to be the end of the saga. In a fresh twist,  L’Equipe  have reported that Chelsea could indeed return with an offer this month, and that Rennes could end up accepting an offer if one arrives worth 50million euros or more, which is £43.3million.  Now, Sky Sports report that Jacquet has privately ‘express...

 • Antonio Conte has heaped praise on one Chelsea star following excellent display against his Napoli side.  Napoli boss Antonio Conte has heaped praise on one Chelsea player who made life extremely difficult for his team after their dramatic 3–2 defeat. Despite seeing his side eliminated, the former Chelsea boss was full of admiration for the Blues and the quality they showed on the night. Conte admitted that Chelsea’s performance highlighted just how much progress the club has made, even while still rebuilding. The Italian manager reserved special praise for João Pedro, describing him as the decisive figure in the match. According to Conte, the forward “punished” his team with his intelligence, movement, and clinical finishing, ultimately making the difference between the two sides:  “Joao Pedro made the difference. Today, he is an important player for Chelsea. He condemned us and forced us to play the game against a top club that has extraordinary players. “Joao Pedro...

 • Chelsea have rejected bids from Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Bayern Munich for their wonderkid.  Chelsea have rejected approaches from Crystal Palace, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich for highly rated teenager Josh Acheampong, making it clear the defender is not for sale. Crystal Palace and Bayern Munich have both identified Acheampong as a key target, with Palace boss Oliver Glasner seeking a central defensive replacement following Marc Guéhi’s exit. Acheampong has been earmarked as an ideal option due to his composure, athleticism, and versatility across the back line. Bayern Munich, in particular, are exploring a loan move with an obligation to buy, believing the 19-year-old has significant room to develop further in the Bundesliga. His tactical flexibility makes him an attractive long-term prospect for the German giants. According to The Guardian, Manchester City and Bournemouth are also monitoring Acheampong’s situation, underlining his growing reputation acro...

 • Chelsea boss Liam Rosenior has confirmed world class star has his heart at Chelsea and it will not change anytime soon.  Liam Rosenior has revealed he’s held discussions with Cole Palmer regarding his future at Chelsea, following ongoing speculation that the playmaker is feeling homesick and could be tempted by a return to Manchester. The 23-year-old, who was raised in the city, has been persistently linked with a potential move to Manchester United, with reports this week suggesting he misses home and would be open to heading back north if the opportunity arises. However, Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has played down the claims, insisting the England international is “very happy” at Stamford Bridge and stressing that “every player has challenges” when asked about suggestions Palmer may be feeling homesick.

  Chelsea are preparing to make a move for a high-profile free-agent striker this summer, according to a report from TeamTalk. Juventus forward Dušan Vlahović is set to become a free agent at the end of the season as his contract with the Serie A giants expires. According to TeamTalk , Chelsea are preparing to launch a move for a high-profile striker this summer and are among the leading contenders to sign the Serbian international. Tottenham Hotspur and AC Milan are also reportedly in the race for the 25-year-old, who turns 26 later this week. Following Juventus’ decision to sign Jonathan David on a free transfer last summer, it appears increasingly likely that Vlahović—who has been sidelined with an adductor injury since late November—will be allowed to leave Turin without a transfer fee. Chelsea already boast attacking options such as João Pedro, Liam Delap, and Marc Guiu, with Emmanuel Emegha set to arrive from Strasbourg in the summer. Nicolas Jackson could also return to Stam...

 HELLO BLUES AND WELCOME TO TODAY'S LIVE STREAM: Liam Rosenior today faces his fifth match as Chelsea manager and his fourth London derby as the Blues head south of the river to face Crystal Palace. The former Strasbourg boss has made a positive start to life with the club and won on debut in the south-east as he beat Charlton Athletic in the FA Cup, but faces a far stiffer challenge today against Oliver Glasner’s Eagles. With that said, Crystal Palace are the pick of the Premier League crisis clubs at the moment. After winning the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2025, everything quickly unravelled in the new year as Marc Guehi was sold to Manchester City and Oliver Glasner confirmed he would leave the club in the summer amid growing tensions with Steve Parish. To make matters worse, misfiring striker Jean-Philippe Mateta also seems to be engineering a move away from the club, with reported interest both at home and abroad.

There is finally some good news for Chelsea in the transfer market. The Blues have had a tough time getting deals done in this winter window. They have trying to bring in Jeremy Jacquet from Rennes but there seems to be a wide gap between what they are willing to pay and what the French club would like to part ways with their wonderkid.

Amid all this, Chelsea have been successful in agreeing one deal. And in order to do so, they have had to beat out the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool, both of whom were also reported to be interested in the player.

 •  Pundit Alan Smith has urged Liam Rosenior to drop a Chelsea star after poor performance against Arsenal.   • He believes the Chelsea man is a "bag of nerves" and shouldn't be part of Rosenior's first team.  Alan Smith has criticised Chelsea goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, labelling him a ‘bag of nerves’ following the Blues’ Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Arsenal. Sanchez endured a difficult night at Stamford Bridge, making two costly mistakes as Chelsea were beaten 3-2 by their London rivals on Wednesday. His first error came early on, when he failed to properly deal with a routine corner, allowing Ben White to nod the ball into an almost unguarded net after just seven minutes. Chelsea briefly threatened a comeback when Alejandro Garnacho pulled one back on the hour mark. However, Arsenal quickly restored their two-goal cushion through Martin Zubimendi, a strike for which Sanchez was not held responsible. Garnacho scored again late in the game, but Chel...

 Chelsea have reportedly set their sights on Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa. According to French outlet Foot Mercato, the Blues have already held talks with the Algerian international’s agent, Mohamed Dahmane, with a meeting said to have taken place. Feyenoord are aware of Chelsea’s interest in the player, although no formal discussions have yet occurred between the two clubs regarding a potential transfer. Moussa has just returned from international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations, where he played a role in Algeria’s run to the quarter-finals before their elimination at the hands of Nigeria.
