Earlier this week, Disasi was reported to be leaning toward a move away from Stamford Bridge in search of more consistent minutes and the opportunity to re-establish himself in Ligue 1. Axel Disasi was close to joining AS Monaco AS Monaco had prepared the ground for his return, and negotiations seemed to be progressing positively. There was also concrete interest from Bournemouth, but in the end, circumstances outside his direct control played the decisive role.

England international full-back Ben Chilwell has officially completed a transfer to Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, signing a two-year deal after departing Chelsea, as confirmed by the club's official website. The French club confirmed the move late on Monday evening, though financial details of the agreement remain undisclosed. Chilwell, now 28, brings with him a wealth of Premier League and European experience, having been a part of Chelsea's squad since 2020.

The Frenchman is currently in top form. Thomas Müller already predicted in a conversation with me that the winger would become an absolute leader at FC Bayern! Of course, other top European clubs have also noticed this. PSG are interested in Olise, and as a Frenchman, he would fit perfectly into the Ligue 1 outfit's philosophy.

Enzo Fernandez scored one and set up another for Joao Pedro as Chelsea made it back-to-back Premier League wins with a 2-0 victory over Fulham on Saturday.

The 23-year-old attacking midfielder shone in the Premier League last season and sources close to the agents industry have now provided CaughtOffside with some information about his future.

There was vindication as well as a place in the Liverpool history books for Rio Ngumoha with the ice-cool finish he swept past Nick Pope at St James' Park on Monday. The 16-year-old has announced himself on the Premier League stage, as every one of his coaches predicted he would, though it is debatable his name would have registered so quickly without a bold decision taken 12 months ago.

"We had five different goalscorers [at West Ham] which shows the team is very ambitious and has a lot of quality," Cucurella told the club website. "We have new players who bring a lot of energy and quality. It's about teamwork and we all showed we can bring something to the team. All of us need to be important during the season. We have improved and we need to keep working.
