The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 29th December 2025!

Morning all,

I hope you all had a great Christmas for those who celebrated it and if you didn’t, I hope you had a nice few days anyway!

Chelsea lost to Aston Villa on Saturday evening in our first game back after Christmas, and what a poor result it was. Chelsea played very well in the first half but unfortunately a game of football is 90 minutes long. My reactions from being at the game on Saturday can be found here.

Enzo Maresca didn’t seem too bothered really in his post-match press conference and was actually smiling and laughing quite a bit seeing as he just watched his team lose and blow a 6-pointer match. His reactions and my reactions to his reactions, can be found here.

A couple of transfer news articles now from our sources. One on Oscar Bobb here. Are Chelsea in for him? It looks like he will depart Manchester City soon, so maybe a chance to get him in?

And news of a Dutch midfielder that Chelsea are looking to try and snap up can be found here. This might even be a deal for January.

Round up all of your general and latest Chelsea news from across Sunday all in the same place here.

Thanks for stopping by, see you on the live blog around 8.45am today!

Peace, Si.
