Lillestroem Overview

Chelsea starlet Jesse Derry marked a memorable start to his loan spell with Sporting CP by scoring a sensational goal in a 2–0 pre-season victory over AS Monaco. The 19-year-old winger, who has joined the Portuguese side on a season-long loan, capped the moment by mimicking Cole Palmer's iconic 'cold' celebration.

Marc Cucurella has released an emotional farewell video to Chelsea supporters over a month after completing a £52 million move to Real Madrid. The 28-year-old left-back departed Stamford Bridge in June to end a four-year spell, and after helping Spain to World Cup glory in North America, he is now preparing to link up with new manager Jose Mourinho in the Spanish capital.

Chelsea are reportedly ready to secure a surprise deal for veteran midfielder Jordan Henderson as they continue to refine their summer transfer strategy. The former Liverpool captain is currently at Brentford but could be set for a move to Stamford Bridge to provide vital leadership for Xabi Alonso's side.

John Stones is reportedly set to wave goodbye to English football after reaching a verbal agreement to join reigning Serie A champions Inter. The experienced England international is expected to finalise a move to San Siro as a free agent following his departure from Manchester City.
