The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Wednesday 29th July 2026!

Morning all,

I hope you’re having a good week so far. We had a game on yesterday, Xabi Alonso’s first non behind closed doors game as Chelsea boss. The era begins with a 6-4 win for Alonso over in Australia!

I watched the game and covered it in full. You can see my review and player ratings for that game here.

Plenty going on away from the pitch right now as well. So round up all your latest Chelsea news in general from across the last 24 hours in the same place here. Covers all you need to know.

Jordan Henderson and Danny Welbeck would have been two names that not one person would have linked with Chelsea or expected them to be joining Chelsea, before Monday at least. But now look what has transpired! Madness. But in here, I tell you why I understand the Henderson signing, and back the Welbeck signing.

I had my latest news out on those two joining Chelsea yesterday morning, as well as some alternatives to John Stones, and a bit more info from our sources here.

And I also had a sourced article out on Chelsea’s attempts to sign Alex Scott from Bournemouth here. This is a really interesting one that is heating up a lot. Chelsea, in for Scott/another CM, as well as Henderson. I’ve got even more out on this today too very soon, with some BIG midfield plans 👀

See you all on the next Live Blog on the home page at around 8.45am today!

Peace, Si.
