The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 13th August 2026!

Morning all,

Hope you’ve having a good week as we head towards the end of it.

A lot of stuff going on at the club now as we enter the business end of the summer transfer window. Situations to sort out, namely Enzo Fernandez. It all kicked off after I signed off last night and Chelsea put out a massive brief saying that any club has until end of Friday now to pay the £120m they want for Enzo Fernandez, or he stays.

I had the latest on Fernandez via SPTC Sources yesterday which also covers plans for new midfielders. Make sure you don’t miss that here. This was written before all that new info came out, and I’ll be updating today.

Chelsea were linked with another new midfielder this week, but we don’t expect Myles Lewis-Skelly to be joining Chelsea this window, despite their interest. You can read all about that here.

Will Adam Wharton be another midfielder Chelsea will still look to bring this window? Well, they have some planned face to face talks with Crystal Palace this week, so who will be discussed? Find that out here.

And sticking on the midfielder theme, there is one who could possibly still leave this window - Romeo Lavia. There is some new interest coming in for him, and it might be one to watch. Read about that here.

Peace, Si.
