The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 19th May 2026!
Morning!
Hope you’ve had a good start to your week!
Might Xabi Alonso be in the house tonight? We’ll see. Chelsea take on Tottenham in our second to last game of the season, and I was really hoping this was going to be a game that we could get them relegated in. Sigh.
Round up all your latest Chelsea news as we lead up to that game here. Obviously this covers the last 24 hours and all the great news off the back of the Xabi Alonso appointment.
I had a couple more exclusives out for you yesterday that would have dropped into your emails. But in case you missed those, I’ve got a lot of detail and info on what roles Alonso will be having and what he wants to do in the summer transfer window here. Massive summer ahead.
The other exclusive is on FIVE new striker names that Chelsea are looking at for the summer here. Some overall striker news in this too, including outgoings.
Even Frank Leboeuf is excited for the appointment of Alonso! Some comment from him here, and some accompanying words from me.
We all know that Alonso brings immense pulling power. But it wont just be for new players, it will also be for current players, new sponsors, new hires, and most importantly, the fan base! My words here.
We also had a bonus Podcast out yesterday, so do make sure to check that out here!
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.45am today on the home page.
Peace, Si.
