Despite having two years left on his lucrative five-year, £325,000-per-week contract, Raheem Sterling has been completely exiled by Chelsea. The winger is now part of Chelsea’s so-called ‘bomb squad’ with Axel Disasi, and it appears as though there’s no way back for the former England international. Sterling himself recently took to Instagram, sharing a story […]
It’s taken more than two years for Manchester City’s 115 charges case, with allegations of financial fair play, to get close to anything even resembling a final verdict.

After scoring 12 league goals for a struggling Ipswich side last season, Liam Delap attracted interest from several top clubs over the summer.

Aggression. Dominance. Control. That may sound like a war cry from an invading army of Vikings all those centuries ago, but those three words sum up much of Enzo Maresca’s philosophy on football. In acting upon those instincts, Chelsea found themselves in bother often during the Italian’s first season in charge – in fact, no […]
Chelsea’s Club World Cup triumph marked a milestone in their illustrious history, cementing their position among the elite of world football. However, lifting the trophy is only part of the challenge; staying globally relevant in a competitive footballing landscape requires strategic planning, especially off the pitch. With the Premier League becoming the international product that […]
It was a tiny detail, but one that eagle-eyed observers would have noticed. As Chelsea romped to a 3-0 victory in the FIFA Club World Cup final and secured themselves an £80 million payday, they did so in a plain blue kit. That 2025/26 strip is quintessentially Chelsea, with its solid blue colourway and red/white […]
By our reckoning, Joao Pedro is the 52nd player signed by Todd Boehly since he took charge of Chelsea in May 2022. The Brighton striker has put pen to paper on an eight-year deal – that length now a Blues trademark – with a fee of £60 million to be paid. The Brazilian joins fellow […]
