Amid the doom and gloom at Newcastle United as familiar faces depart and the future looks uncertain, do not sleep on the signing of Bazoumana Toure. The Ivorian winger has the potential to be one of the most exciting Premier League arrivals this summer.
Paul Scholes has questioned Chelsea’s transfer strategy this summer (Picture: The Overlap) Paul Scholes has accused Chelsea of going from one extreme to the other with their transfer strategy during the summer window. Xabi Alonso’s appointment as Liam Rosenior’s permanent successor has coincided with a significant change in direction for a club that endured another chaotic season last term that saw the Blues fail to qualify for Europe. As such, Chelsea have largely relented from signing untried youngsters from Europe and South America, instead focusing their recruitment drive on Premier League proven players. The arrivals of Morgan Rogers and Maxence Lacroix typify that new approach, driven by Alonso whose job description as manager, rather than head coach, is no coincidence.

Indeed, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder made it clear he would only accept his new role on the proviso he would have a greater say on incomings and outgoings. Having been forced to abandon his pursuit of Granit Xhaka, Alonso has had a major hand in the shock signings of Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson, who will both be expected to assume senior leadership roles in a dressing room that has sorely missed those qualities, particularly since the departure of Thiago Silva. Chelsea collected a record eight red cards last season and regularly threw away leads, but Scholes has questioned how much of an impact their two new veterans will have if they aren’t on the pitch regularly. Chelsea tried to sign Granit Xhaka earlier this summer (Picture: Getty) He told The Overlap Fan Debate: ‘Those two older players, it feels you’ve gone from one extreme to another, I can’t get my head around it. ‘You’ve got a load of 21-year-olds, alright get some more experience at 28 or 29 but they’re like 37 or 38. ‘I get the Xhaka one, he’s still a good player and he was brilliant in the World Cup. ‘I think that’s where he’ll expect the most and that’s where they’re going to have most influence on the training pitch because they’re not going to be playing all the time, especially Henderson. ‘Welbeck will still come on but that’s where they’re going to be most valuable. Look if Chelsea have got money to waste doing that then it’s down to them isn’t it.’ Jordan Henderson joined Chelsea from Brentford (Picture: Getty) Those sentiments were echoed by Jamie Carragher who was particularly puzzled by the signing of his former Liverpool teammate Henderson. The ex-Liverpool captain, now 36, has endured something of a nomadic career since leaving Anfield three years ago with his career taking in brief spells at Al-Ettifaq, Ajax and Brentford. ‘I find it strange because I think the signing from Crystal Palace is really good,’ said Carragher of Chelsea’s decision to bring Henderson and Welbeck to the club. ‘You’ve got a lot of young centre backs, he comes in, he knows the league and he’s an experienced player. ‘But you’re talking about the issue on the pitch in terms of red cards and losing leads, throwing leads away. How much are they going to be on the pitch, Henderson and Welbeck? ‘That’s my point, if they were 28 or 29 say like Tielemans in that age bracket. I know they’re going to be great on the training pitch and we’ll be getting hit with those stories if Chelsea make a great start it’ll be Henderson and Welbeck are great in the dressing room. Danny Welbeck joined Chelsea from Brighton (Picture: Getty) ‘In terms of helping Chelsea with discipline which Chelsea need or helping see games out they could come on the last 10 or 15 minutes of games. But what Chelsea need help with is that experience on the pitch. ‘I understood Henderson going to the World Cup. People said he’s not going to play that much, but it’s only a six-week tournament, there’s going to be players who don’t play but when you’ve
Izzy Christiansen say it is important to not "be too emotional or rash" following Manchester City's defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield. New City manager Enzo Maresca, who replaced Pep Guardiola over the summer, played down the importance of the result at full-time knowing that there is still work to be done ahead of the new Premier League season. "In Maresca's post-match interview he sounded calm and collected, which is the managerial style he has displayed at Chelsea and Leicester City," said Christiansen on BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.

Como boss and Chelsea hero Cesc Fabregas (Picture: Getty) Cesc Fabregas has expressed interest in a second Chelsea player after signing Trevor Chalobah for Como in a deal worth £30m. Chelsea put England centre-back Chalobah up for sale after signing £52m Maxence Lacroix from London rivals Crystal Palace. Chalobah made 151 appearances for boyhood club Chelsea, including 47 last season, and emerged as a key target for Como boss Fabregas. Fabregas briefly played alongside Chalobah at Stamford Bridge and welcomed the 27-year-old to Serie A side Como on a five-year deal. Get the latest transfer news every morning Sign up to our daily football newsletter for personalised updates on who your team is trying to sign and who won't be around next season. Chalobah won five trophies during his 20-year spell at Chelsea, including the FA Cup in 2018 and the Europa Conference League in 2025. Chelsea failed to qualify for any European competition last season but Fabregas’ Como are preparing for a Champions League campaign after finishing fourth in Serie A. Discussing Chalobah’s move to Como, Fabregas said: ‘Trevoh is an important signing for us and a player who represents the level of ambition we have at this club. Trevoh Chalobah left Chelsea to join Como (Picture: Getty) ‘He is a leader who can raise the level of the team, and I am very happy that he has chosen Como.’ Fabregas has a good relationship with Chelsea bosses, having spent five years at Stamford Bridge as a player, winning two Premier League titles, the Europa League and two domestic cups. The Spanish football icon is hoping to use his connections at Chelsea to secure another summer signing and bring Liam Delap to Como. Liam Delap has been put up for sale by Chelsea (Picture: Getty) According to talkSPORT, Fabregas has sanctioned a move for Delap, who has been put up for sale by Chelsea after a poor first season in west London. Chelsea’s £30m signing of Delap was seen as a real coup but the 23-year-old only scored one Premier League goal for the Blues. Despite his struggles and the fact he was back-up to Chelsea No. 9 Joao Pedro, Chelsea hope to receive at least £40m for Delap amid long-term interest from Everton and Newcastle United. Xabi Alonso has sanctioned Delap’s exit (Picture: Reuters) Nottingham Forest have also reportedly joined the battle to sign Delap, who is believed to be hoping to stay in England if he is forced out of Chelsea. Chelsea bolstered Xabi Alonso’s attacking options over the summer with the signing of ex-England striker Danny Welbeck from Brighton. Nicolas Jackson has also returned from his season-long loan at Bayern Munich but could be offloaded as well as Delap, with Aston Villa admirers. Delap struggled at Chelsea last season (Picture: Getty) In an exclusive interview with Metro at the start of the summer, Danny Murphy advised Alonso to block Delap from leaving Chelsea. ‘I think any manager coming in has to give players a chance so I think he’ll want to look at them and see what they’ve got,’ Murphy said on behalf of NetBet football. ‘The other thing is that there might not be other clubs who want to take them with the wages they are on or pay the fee for them. ‘That is just the dynamic of football politics and transfers, you can easily say “they haven’t done very well let’s move them on”, but where to, and for how much? ‘Liam Delap is a young lad, and he brings some characteristics that Chelsea don’t have. He’s different to Joao Pedro so I think Xabi Alonso will give him a crack.’ Chelsea face west London rivals Fulham in their Premier League opener next Monday night. The Blues finished just 10th last season but have been tipped as dark horses for the title under former Liverpool and Real Madrid midfielder Alonso. For more stories like this, check our sport page.
