The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Monday 6th July 2026!
Morning all,
I hope you’ve had a good weekend and continued to enjoy the World Cup!
England played over night and BEAT Mexico 3-2 to advance into the Quarter Finals of the World Cup! It was a real dog fight, but Thomas Tuchel’s strengths came shining through as he motivated his players to deliver the fight and spirit needed to get through it!
It’s been an eventful weekend in the world of Chelsea too, but not positive unfortunately. Chelsea have so far just proved that as of right now, a leopard does not change his spots… Same old Blueco as of now. Plenty of time to still get it right though.
Round up all your latest general Chelsea news in the same place from Sunday here. This covers all the latest stories.
So, the Granit Xhaka story has obviously annoyed many Chelsea fans, understandably. It’s Mike Maignan all over again. Find out exactly what has happened via our sources here. This covers all the offers and figures that Chelsea had sent to Sunderland.
My opinion is that Xabi Alonso has already been let down by Chelsea over this Xhaka story. Sigh. Read my views and make your votes in some polls here.
The next story that blew up over the weekend was the Enzo Fernandez situation. He just wanted to concentrate on the World Cup, but his agent has not allowed that! Chelsea have so far priced Fernandez out of a move this summer, get the full story and inside details on that here.
I’ve followed that up with my opinion on this story here. You can also vote in some polls to give your opinion on it. In this article too, I’ve got some sourced snippets on Maxence Lacroix and Pep Chavarria.
See you all on the next Live Blog from around 8.45am on the home page today.
Peace, Si.
