Morning all,

And as I like to do these days whenever I have a Birthday in the close family, I like to shout it out on here. So today is my Mum’s Birthday, and she probably will even read this - My pops will show her! So Happy Birthday to my amazing Mother, see you later on! With this in mind, I won’t be on the live blog from around 3ish today but will update when I can later in the evening.

To the Chelsea stuff now.

Yesterday carried on the theme of being very busy every day, and the talk of the town was/is Kai Havertz to Arsenal. I had some sourced news on that one that I put out yesterday morning, so you can recap on that here.

Obviously I went for a run yesterday morning and Christopher Nkunku was announced!! You can read about that in the blog below.

The other main story of the week so far is news that Mauricio Pochettino might be happy to keep Kepa Arrizabalaga as his number one goalkeeper going forward. I’ve made my views VERY clear on that idea here, and also delivered your views on it (contains sourced news).

One of the potential goalkeepers that could come in is Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, but there is no way he will be coming in to be a backup, which gives me hope. There was more on him, plus all the other latest transfer news in the live blog from yesterday here. This also covers some ridiculous stuff about Romelu Lukaku’s intentions in this, worth catching up on.

Dusan Vlahovic is another striker target for Chelsea this summer, and the Italian press had the latest on that this week as they continue to push that story. They also mention Cesare Casadei going the other way. I have some sourced news in this here as well.

Finally for today, The Score has delivered his best ever contribution article for us yet, based around the hate that Chelsea get in the media, the targeting from certain Journalists, and how we get constant lies and agendas pushed against us. This one here is a real Brave Heart (the film) moment and is an absolute MUST READ!

Right, I’ll be on the live blog from around 8am today as always, but as said, I’ll have to disappear this afternoon/evening to celebrate my Mum’s Birthday.

Peace, Si.
