The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 21st August 2025!
Morning all,
Although I wasn’t on the live blog much yesterday as always on a Wednesday because I have my boy, I still have you fully covered with every bit of Chelsea news from yesterday including all the latest transfer news and general news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here.
I also had a couple of sourced articles out yesterday that you will find interesting to read.
The first one is on Alejandro Garnacho, because we truly have to accept him coming to Chelsea now. The club rate him and have been scouting him for almost 8 years now. He’s not some new target, he’s been on the radar for a long time and is universally wanted by the directors. You can read all about that here.
Our next sourced article is on Andrey Santos and how he is not for sale this window despite offers coming in. Chelsea are rejecting them and see him as an important player. Find out what the future holds for Santos in here.
If teams can stop Cole Palmer, do they then stop Chelsea? That is what Paul Merson thinks, but I’m not sure I agree with that this season. I maybe would have agreed with that at times during last season and especially the season before. But I think we finally might be past Cole Palmer FC now, or at least I hope we are. Read all about that here.
There’s been some debate around whether Joao Pedro or Liam Delap should be starting for Chelsea right now. My answer? Start them both. Why not? Well, I cover it all in a tactical look at setups here.
See you all on the next live blog from around 8.30am on the home page today!
Peace, Si.
