The Chelsea FC Newsletter: JANUARY TRANSFER DEADLINE DAY 2026!
Morning all,
Welcome to another January Transfer Deadline Day! There should be a few bits going on today, and Chelsea will have a new centre back in!
Unfortunately a bunch of stuff happened late last night after I put out my latest updates, and some big changes have happened around Jeremy Jacquet to Chelsea, with Liverpool hijacking the move. I’ll write more on all that today.
Chelsea beat West Ham on Saturday night, coming back from two goals down at half time to win the game 3-2 in the end. What a comeback, what a turnaround, but an abysmal first half. My report can be found here.
I took away two big positives from this game and performance, and it wasn’t the goals or the comeback - albeit that was VERY positive. I wanted to highlight something else that I saw that was so important for me to see. Check that out here.
I also have a sourced exclusive transfer story for the summer. It doesn’t directly involve Chelsea, but it does involve Strasbourg, a former Chelsea player, and a former Chelsea player/manager too. Check that out in full here.
See you all on the live blog today where I will see us through to the deadline tonight at 7pm UK time covering any possible late drama or moves out of nowhere. Lets see what happens.
Peace, Si.



Why am I not at all surprised. Sorry Liverpool didn’t hijack the deal he was given a choice between the two clubs and for him I guess it was an easy decision and sadly shows how far we have fallen as a club. We can only seem to do deals with an another club we already own which I don’t really like and I know everyone will say that’s football today but that doesn’t mean it’s good for football.
