The whirlwind surrounding Chelsea's young forward Marc Guiu has reached a fever pitch following sensational claims that the Spaniard had demanded an exit from West London. Speculation began to mount across social media and various outlets suggesting that the striker was ready to force a move away from Stamford Bridge after seeing his developmental path stall during a season of significant upheaval for him and the Blues.

Liam Rosenior's tenure as Chelsea boss got off to a brilliant start, as the Blues bested a spirited Charlton side 5-1 at They Valley. Jorrell Hato opened the scoring with a beautifully struck volley just before half time. Toisin Adarabioyo added a second, with Miles Leaburn offering a brief reply, before Marc Guiu, Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez rounded off the scoring for the Blues.
