Covering: Koulibaly VERY close to Chelsea, Sources on Leao, Dybala, Gnabry, and more, Dodgers fans on Boehly, Scouting report on Chukwuemeka, Plus all the latest transfer stories...

Good Morning!

Wow, catching my breath after yesterday. My god what a day that was. At the start of the day we were told to expect an imminent bid for Kalidou Koulibaly going in, and by the end of it every top source is reporting it’s very close and Koulibaly himself has pretty much said it’s all but done! Madness. Chelsea have arrived in the transfer window!

So, to begin with today, it’s probably best to check out the live blog here, with the timeline of exactly how it all happened and exactly where we are at with all the deals and pursuits we heard about from yesterday.

Next up, although some bits in here are obviously a bit outdated now with the new accelerating so fast throughout the day, here are my thoughts and our early reports on the Kalidou Koulibaly pursuit.

A further attacker update now to add to the one we put out earlier this week, with a few extra updates and snippets involved. Get the latest on a host of attacker targets here.

Another positive one now and an article that gives us more reason to be reassured about our immediate and long term future under our new owners. Find out what LA Dodgers fans have to say to reassure us all here.

As you guys know, I’ve been on a course to become a pro scout. Well, I’ve got some news on that for those interested, but perhaps more importantly and interestingly, I have a name that you, and Chelsea, all need to get on your radar if you haven’t already. Check that out here.

I am recording a Podcast today with Rob Pratley, with Macca unfortunately being away in Cyprus for a wedding. Well, not unfortunate for him of course the lucky boy. We’ll be diving into the latest transfer news and getting our info out to you all again. It’ll be out around 6pm today. I’m sure you’re all be absolutely buzzing to tune into this one, with Rob’s info being so spot on and before many others recently (he was excellent again with the Koulibaly stuff yesterday).

Have a good hump day, wonder what today might bring!

Peace, Si.
