Ben Chilwell is still ‘more than happy’ to play for Chelsea despite being banished from the first-team by Enzo Maresca. The left-back was one of over a dozen players, known as the ‘bomb-squad’, exiled by the new manager over the summer and told they had no future at the club. But while the likes of Raheem Sterling, Conor Gallagher and Romelu Lukaku were able to secure a transfer away, Chilwell is still at Stamford Bridge. There was never any serious interest in the England international thanks to his high wages, said to be £ 200,000 a week, and his injury history. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #enzomaresca #romelulukaku #transferwindow #benchilwell #football

Antonio Conte has informed Victor Osimhen he will remain banished from the Napoli first-team after a summer move to Chelsea failed to materialise. Chelsea pushed hard to sign Osimhen before the summer transfer window closed on Friday night but a delegation from Stamford Bridge left Naples disappointed. The Blues were unwilling to match Osimhen’s current salary or the one he has been offered to join Saudi club Al Ahli. Chelsea did make a contract offer to the Nigerian but he rejected the proposal before reportedly ending talks with the frustrated Premier League club. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #victorosimhen #antonioconte #napoli #transferwindow #football #premierleague

Premier League giants Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal are all expected to target late deals before the summer transfer window closes. Spending by Premier League clubs in the transfer market was £800m down on last summer ahead of the final week of the window. Almost £1.5bn has been splashed out on transfers, but that is still way down on last summer, with less than 48 hours remaining for clubs to bolster their squads. The looming threat of transfer bans and even points deductions for clubs who fail to meet profit and sustainability rules has made those in charge wary of significant outlays. #footballfanarena #ffa #manchesterunited #chelsea #arsenal #transferwindow #premierleague #trending #football

Enzo Fernandez’s poor performance in Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday was blasted by pundits including Gary Neville. Goals from Erling Haaland and Mateo Kovacic got the reigning champions off to the perfect start as they kicked-off their Premier League campaign at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea had their moments but largely struggled in Enzo Maresca’s first game in charge, with Fernandez coming in for a lot of scrutiny. The midfielder, who wore the captain’s armband in Reece James’ absence, was already under the microscope having been at the centre of a racism row following Argentina’s Copa America win and endured a very difficult opening-half. #footballfanarena #ffa #chelsea #mancity #erlinghaaland #mateo #enzomaresca #football
