The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Tuesday 30th June 2026!
Morning all,
Hope you're all still enjoying the World Cup. I’ve seen some people say it’s not been a very good one. I mean, it has… I’ve just not bee able to watch much of it live because I tend to sleep at night.. Sigh. I have watched many games back though.
Round up all your latest Chelsea news in general from the last 24 hours in the same place here. This covers all you need to know!
A couple sourced articles now. I had the very latest on Chelsea’s attempts to sign Granit Xhaka from Sunderland. You can get the full inside drop on that here.
And on Xhaka, I am not even desperate to sign him, I just don’t want to see Chelsea do another Mike Maignan here. And also, Xabi Alonso REALLY wants him, so lets see this one through. Comment here.
Another sourced transfer article next, and it’s on new goalkeepers and the general goalkeeper situation. A name Chelsea have made contact with in here, as well as much more.
Chelsea are also linked with left back Pep Chavarria. Who? Yeah, me too! But I’ve profiled him a bit here, as well as given my opinion on what the apparent plans seem to be at left back now.
See you all on the next Live Blog on the home page at 8.45am today!
Peace, Si.
