The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 31st July 2025!
Morning everyone!
Sorry I wasn’t around much yesterday; Wednesday’s are always very busy for me anyway as I have Solly, but we also had our first preseason friendly yesterday for the new team I am playing for and helping run this season!
The very latest on deals for Chelsea to sign Jorrel Hato and Xavi Simons can be found on the live blog from yesterday here. This has all the latest news on transfer rumours and general Chelsea updates from across the last 24 hours. We finally had the HERE WE GO for Hato at least!
I wrote something on what I thought could have been one of the reasons that the Simons deal was not done yet yesterday morning but as always, this could have moved on a lot from what I put in here already, but it’s there if you’re interested in skimming it and haven’t already.
Same with Hato really, and I wrote this one here on that situation yesterday morning. Basically, Chelsea have been taking a very tough stance on the Hato deal and I was asking whether it would pay off…. Well, it certainly bloody has done!! Fair play Chelsea!
Alejandro Garnacho to Chelsea has been gathering pace and is a story that will just not disappear, as much as many Blues fans want it to. But I thought why not have a look at some positive perspective on this one here in the search of some balance because balance is what I always preach on this site!
Finally, just for a bit of fun, I’ve written an article thanking Arsenal and Mikel Arteta. Why, I hear you ask? Well, tap in here to find out!
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am!
Peace, Si.
