Sources: Chelsea make contact for Marc Guehi! John Obi Mikel criticises decision makers for striker issues again, Which CB should we sign? Neither Chalobah and Guehi would be MY first choice, More...

The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 8th January 2025!

Morning all!

Well, things have certainly come to life a bit this week as it’s transpired that what we have been reporting on here for months now, is spot on! Chelsea want a new centre back in this month, and Marc Guehi is on the shortlist!

Will Guehi be that guy we go for though? Well, initial contact HAS been made, as we reported yesterday morning. You can recap on that sourced article in here with all the details.

Recalling Trevoh Chalobah from his season long loan move at Crystal Palace is another option, but is that something you would be keen on? What do you feel about Guehi? I asked both of those questions in some polls yesterday, and you can see the responses in here. For me, neither would be my first choice, and probably not even my second or third either, and I explain why in the article.

The Score’s latest article is on centre backs too, which is absolutely the talk of the Chelsea town right now. Check in on his second article of three for us this week in here and as always, it’s a banger!

Meanwhile, John Obi Mikel, who is pals with the owners, has once again criticised them for not signing a new striker! He’s mentioned Nicolas Jackson again in this one and how Chelsea need more. He’s actually made some decent points in this here, and I agree about Chelsea neglecting to sign a new striker.

And as always, you’ll want to check in on the latest live blog from yesterday here where I covered ALL of the latest Chelsea transfer news and general news in the same spot. There’s plenty going on now as this window has come alive for us, so do check in on this to find it all out! Kobbie Mainoo was the big madness of a surprise story yesterday, so jump in here to see what our sources have said on that one.

Join me on the next live blog from around 8.30am today but do remember, today is a day where I have Solly all day as the Wife works, so the blog won’t really be running much until after midday and even then it will be a bit on and off. Will do my best in roundups though!

Peace, Si.
