Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson is reportedly ready to call time on his Stamford Bridge stay as he has set his sights on a move to Newcastle United. But the transfer is hanging by a thread, tied to the future of Newcastle’s star man Alexander Isak, who is being hunted by Liverpool in one of the window’s fiercest transfer battles.
Alejandro Garnacho has fuelled speculation over his Manchester United future by sharing a cryptic social media post amid ongoing talks over a £50 million ($67m) move to Chelsea.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has revealed that he now believes his side are far closer to competing with Liverpool and Arsenal for the Premier League title, compared to a year ago.

Manchester United's Alejandro Garnacho has been spotted holding a vape while getting a new tattoo. The 21-year-old, who has fallen out of favour under Ruben Amorim, is waiting to see if a move to Chelsea materialises before the transfer window closes.

Manchester City have entered the race to sign RB Leipzig’s Xavi Simons, threatening to derail Chelsea’s ongoing pursuit of the Dutch attacker.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer had some hilariously cheeky answers to questions about his Fantasy Premier League rating. The England international is valued at £10.5 million in FPL for the 2025-26 campaign, which actually shocked Palmer.

Chelsea’s ambitious plans for a new 60,000-seater stadium have reportedly hit another major snag, with 'spiralling' construction costs putting the project on hold.

The delay is a blow to Todd Boehly’s hopes of boosting matchday revenue and keeping pace with the club's rivals.
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly turned down the chance to bring Manchester United’s controversial winger Alejandro Garnacho to north London.
