Tottenham have continued their aggressive recruitment of top-tier domestic talent by securing the signature of former Chelsea defender George Jobling. The highly-rated youngster, who has captained the England Under-16 side, has completed a move to north London following a successful trial period that left Spurs coaches impressed with his potential.

Manchester United and Chelsea are among those to have been credited with interest in Brazil international centre-half Murillo, and Nottingham Forest legend Viv Anderson has told GOAL that any team that gets a transfer deal over the line would be acquiring the Reds’ “best player”.

One of Cole Palmer’s close friends has boldly claimed that he will talk the Chelsea playmaker into returning to his roots at Manchester United.

Portuguese wonderkid Geovany Quenda is not due to link up with Chelsea until the summer of 2026, as he sees a £40 million ($54m) transfer from Sporting pushed through, but the youngster already finds himself at the Blues’ training base.

Axel Disasi has admitted he need to lean on the support of his family after being exiled to Chelsea's 'bomb squad' during his time at Stamford Bridge.

Liam Rosenior has been warned that "three or four" bad results could spell the end of his Chelsea tenure, with that readiness to chop and change the very reason he will struggle to be a long-term success at Stamford Bridge.
