Chelsea Newsletter - Monday 8th August

Covering: Sourced updates on Fofana, De Jong, Aubameyang, Hudson-Odoi, Werner, Ziyech, and more, Everton reflections, Do Chelsea need to sign a DM? Plus all the latest CFC transfer stories...

Good morning!

It’s Monday already, but at least we are starting the week having got three points and a win at Goodison Park, something we normally struggle with doing. Chelsea beat Everton 1-0 on the opening day, and Premier League football is BACK!

You can read my reflections on the game here as I deliver my positives and negatives.

Next up, I’ve got another general transfer update for you guys here which covers the likes of Fofana, De Jong, and Aubameyang ahead of what I expect to be a VERY busy few weeks now.

Rob Pratley has his update on De Jong out as well, so you will absolutely want to check that one out here.

Another sourced article here on Callum Hudson-Odoi’s future at Chelsea, and if you are someone who wants him to stay, this will not make for great reading I am afraid.

Oh, and I also ran a live blog yesterday with all the latest Chelsea transfer stories and any other sourced bits of info I have got, so make sure you check in on that here.

Finally, one of our subscribers Mike Green has written a very good contribution article on why Chelsea need to sign a defensive midfielder here, I highly recommend casting an eye over this bumper article. I agree with many of his points in this.

Don;t forget to check in on the live blog today, I’ll be running that as usual. Have a good Monday!

Peace, Si.
