Chelsea icon Didier Drogba and ex-AC Milan star George Weah have been named among a host of former players on a newly-formed anti-racism panel by FIFA. The idea behind the panel of ex-players is to bolster FIFA's efforts to tackle racism in the game. The group will help in developing anti-racism strategies, participate in educational programmes and contribute to reforms across football.
Ex-Chelsea forward Christopher Nkunku has lifted the lid on the frustrations he faced during his time at Stamford Bridge before being sold to AC Milan.
Former Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been recalled to the England national team squad after Crystal Palace's Adam Wharton sustained an injury. Loftus-Cheek's last call-up came six years ago, but he ended up withdrawing from that March 2019 camp. He has not played for his country since making a substitute appearance against the United States in November 2018.
In the age of PSR and UEFA's financial regulations, the free agent market has probably never been more significant as clubs look to pick up a potentially key player without having to spend a penny. We're now into June, and there are a whole host of big names who will be out of contract at the end of the month - undoubtedly sparking a scramble for their signatures in the coming weeks.
Christopher Nkunku has officially joined AC Milan from Chelsea for a permanent fee of €42 million (£36.2m/$49m). The French forward has signed a five-year contract, keeping him at the club until 2030. This deal comes after a challenging and injury-ridden stint in West London, where Nkunku struggled to establish himself as a regular under Enzo Maresca.
