The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 11th August 2026!

Morning all,

Hope you’re having a good start to your week. We’re all cooking here once again in Europe! The kids have certainly had a very sunny and warm school holidays so far, eh!?

Round up all your latest general Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here.

I watched back Chelsea’s wrestling match on Sunday afternoon, and I really think we need to be smarter when planning pre-season. I get we use it to make good money, but again, we need to weigh things up and plan with more balance. We literally travelled further than any other Premier League club, it’s just not smart. Words here.

I rarely go a day without having to speak on Enzo Fernandez, and I’m sick of the saga. Just sell him now, honestly, he just needs to go. He wants to go, so let him go. I have more words on it all here, as well as asking you all to cast your vote in a poll.

I had a couple of exclusive sourced transfer news articles out as well yesterday. One here on Benfica being interested in one of our centre backs, and us being interested in one of theirs!

I also had a solo Podcast out yesterday speaking more on all the latest transfer situations with new and fresh info in! Check that here.

Finally, Arsenal are the latest club to show some interest in Pedro Neto. They join a long list of clubs with interest, but will Chelsea sell? Find out the full story here.

See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am today on the home page.

Peace, Si.
