As I reported earlier in the season, the Blues have a strong interest in Rogers, and I'm told that that hasn't changed, with the Villa star continuing to impress. Rogers has seven goals and five assists in all competitions for Villa so far this season, and recently hit braces in consecutive games in wins over Wolves and Manchester United. Villa don't want to sell Rogers this January, but they also continue to face limits on their spending due to PSR concerns, which has Chelsea on alert.

Any supporter wants to have the best players on the pitch," said Caballero. "We want to have that as well. But Cole is coming from a long injury. In this case we need to find a way to find the right substitutions to go for the game and also to look after the health of our players. We want to have them for the rest of the season.

Football in the modern era is all about athleticism. Coaching has come a long way in the past couple of decades, raising the floor of elite footballers' general ability, but the truly elite players combine their footballing with frightening athleticism. Geovany Quenda is among them - and that's exactly why Chelsea bought him. The Blues' stockpiling of young talent in recent years is a bone of contention for fans of rival clubs but one thing you can't knock is their talent ID.

Club Brugge defender Joel Ordonez has been linked with a move away from the club in recent weeks. Chelsea and Liverpool have been mentioned as potential destinations. However, Bolavip are now reporting that Chelsea have pulled out of the deal to sign the 21-year-old. It seems that Liverpool are now front runners to get the deal done. It will be interesting to see if they can secure his signature in the coming weeks. It is no secret that they need a quality central defender.

The Palace boss won the FA Cup and the Community Shield this year for the Eagles and his stocks have gone up after his brilliant work at Selhurst Park. According to TEAMtalk, Strasbourg manager Liam Rosenior has impressed the Palace hierarchy and they could target a move for him to replace Glasner. The 41-year-old manager guided the French club to Europe last season and his work is being noticed by some of the biggest clubs in England, including Chelsea.

We've proven this season that we can compete with the very best. We beat Chelsea, one of the best teams in the world.

Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the Bologna attacker, Santiago Castro. According to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport via SportWitness, they will face competition from Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest as well. Everton have been linked with Castro as well. The 21-year-old has done quite well for Bologna, and his performances have attracted the attention of multiple clubs. He has five goals and one assist from 21 matches this season.

Chelsea are investigating after a bottle was thrown towards the Aston Villa bench following their 2-1 Premier League defeat at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. After the full-time whistle, an open plastic bottle was directed at Villa's celebrating bench, splashing staff and players with a liquid that appeared to be water. One member of staff pointed towards the area from which the bottle came, which seemed to be a section containing both Chelsea fans and staff. It remains unclear who was responsible.

Rather than viewing the decision as a setback, Chelsea's hierarchy are projecting confidence in their current attacking depth and long-term planning. The club believe they are well stocked in wide and attacking positions and are keen to prioritise development over reactive spending. Chelsea have faith in their current attacking options There is a strong internal push to double down on the progression of summer signings Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens, both of whom are seen as key pillars of Chelsea's attacking future. In addition, Chelsea have been encouraged by the return to fitness of Estevao Willian, whose injury absence disrupted earlier plans.

Semenyo has had a fine start to the 2025-26 season for the Cherries, with his eight goals a total only bettered by Igor Thiago (11) and Erling Haaland (19) in the Premier League. The 25-year-old has since been touted for a move away from the Vitality Stadium in January, with the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool also reportedly interested in him. He has a £65m release clause that can be triggered next month, though it has been rumoured that both Manchester United and Chelsea have opted out of a potential transfer.

Sam Kerr scored the opening two goals for Chelsea, and Johanna Rytting Kaneryd got a hat-trick. Wieke Kaptein scored twice, with Sjoeke Nusken and Millie Bright also getting on the score-sheet. Jenna Clark headed home for Liverpool, who have failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions and are rooted to the bottom of the Women's Super League.
