The Chelsea FC Newsletter: Thursday 6th August 2026!

Morning all,

Chelsea played yesterday lunch time against Juventus in a friendly match and lost 1-0 in what was a pretty flat game in all honesty.

I actually managed to watch most of the game live in the end, so I’ll put some reaction thoughts out soon today!

Round up all your latest Chelsea news from across the last 24 hours in the same place here to kick things off today.

Chelsea will be BUSY in August, says Fabrizio Romano, and myself actually! He was speaking about incomings, and you can watch his video here, as well as extra info and opinion from me.

I also had THREE exclusive sourced Chelsea transfer news articles out yesterday. The first one is on a midfielder name that Xabi Alonso really likes. Will we go for him? General midfielder updates too in this here.

The next one is on new goalkeepers. Will Chelsea land a new number one stopper this summer? We don’t expect them to. Find out the full story on that here.

And the last one is around some plans in the board room. New FOS sponsorship anyone? New club for the multi-club model? Changes at director level? All of that is covered here.

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

Peace, Si.
