The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Friday 19th June 2026!
Morning all,
We’ve reached another weekend. I am off to Dorset this weekend (yes I know, another holiday). Just three nights away this time and don’t worry, I’m taking my laptop so I will be working as normal. We have our family Christmas present to all of us - so a little family weekend away with the whole crew! Looking forward to it.
Round up all of your latest Chelsea news in general from across the last 24 hours in the same place here.
A couple of sourced transfer articles next, and these are on two Chelsea targets!
There is a midfielder that Chelsea REALLY want to sign this summer, but at the moment his asking price is too high. There is a chance that Chelsea still try for him and attempt to get the fee down, because he’s been their top target all season really in this area of the pitch. Full story on Adam Wharton interest from our sources here.
The next sourced article is on another midfielder Chelsea like and could well turn to as well. This is a midfielder that Chelsea were looking into a few months ago, and now they are scouting him heavily at the World Cup, with one source hearing some bits on Lucas Bergvall here.
I reviewed England’s first game of the World Cup here as well. I focused on Reece James of course, but had words on all the players, including Marcus Rashford, who if his wages were lower Chelsea would go for.
I really hope Enzo Fernandez doesn’t keep going into a saga. I want Chelsea to follow the Marc Cucurella example and get him sold ASAP. It’s just going to be better for everyone and everything that we just get him gone now. Full words on that here.
We also covered a lot of the above news and MUCH more with extra sourced info and analysis on the latest Podcast yesterday which you can check out here.
See you all back on the site on Sunday. If I get any big news before then, I’ll put it out on the Substack App chat section. Our man Rob Pratley has been doing some great work on there lately, keeping it all nicely organised and also putting out his own info on there. So you’d best get on there if you’re not yet.
Have a top weekend all!
Peace, Si.
There are lots of players they seem to like or want but either they don’t want to come to Chelsea or they are too expensive in fee and or wages. Nothing at the moment leads me to believe it’s going to be any thing other than Strasbourg or kids again. I don’t mind if clubs are quiet about their transfer business it’s very sensible but we are only silent because none of their so called targets wants to come it’s just players who want to leave.
