Quenda in London after his surgery! Get well soon. 💙

🚨 According to David Ornstein, Man City, Man Utd, Bayern, Chelsea and others are interested in Elliot Anderson.

We are beating them, aren’t we?

🗣️ Robert Sanchez: "We always have confidence but we need to make sure we start with intensity from minute one. We conceded the early goal and we could not switch on after that goal, we stayed a bit low and we ended up conceding another one. It was a bit difficult to get going because the goal came so early."

Wayne Rooney rated N'Golo Kanté as the best midfielder in the world 🙌: 🗣️ "For me, he was the best midfielder in the world. In the 2021 Champions League final, he produced a perfect performance. He did everything: pressing, positioning himself, playing between the lines, breaking up opposition moves and driving forward into attack. We used to see that with Yaya Touré as well, who would win the ball and surge forward offensively, and he was extremely difficult to defend against. Kanté did that, but he also protected his defence like Claude Makélélé did. It’s incredible to have both those players — Touré and Makélélé — combined in N’Golo Kanté. At Chelsea, his energy elevated the other players. Every time Kanté moved forward into attack, you often saw two or three Chelsea players join him without worrying about leaving their positions, because they knew that if the ball was lost, N'Golo Kanté would win it back."

‼️ Morgan Rogers signed new 5 year deal but it’s one to watch in the future because many clubs interested. Chelsea had him on their list for last summer but it never got to the point of official proposal. No chances he leaves in January. (FabrizioRomano) #CFC

🚨🔵 EXCL. Chelsea have a January recall option for Aaron Anselmino (20/🇦🇷). Option allows to bring the defender back in winter, as he hasn’t reached the defined minimum minutes due to injury. #BVB expect Chelsea not to activate it, but the final decision is with the Blues. Player happy in Dortmund. But the decision is up to #CFC, the Prem side can terminate the loan. Chelsea rate Anselmino very highly and see him as part of their long-term plans. No chance for Dortmund to sign him in summer as there is no buy option. ⚫️🟡 [via Patrick Berger - Sky Germany]

🗣️ Gary Neville: "It’s really obvious that Maresca is a fantastic coach and it’s really obvious that there’s a group of players who are really young with fantastic potential. I just wonder whether Maresca could just change the model slightly, he’s been brought in to work with these players, but you do need an experienced spine. You watch Chelsea first half and they look like an academy team that’s playing in a participation game. It’s not really a serious, aggressive, horrible fixture. You watch them in the second half and they look like a thrill. If you had some more experience down that spine and some higher quality in certain positions they would be a very different proposition." {The Gary Neville Podcast}

🗣️ Paul Merson: “I watched Garnacho against Miley, Miley’s not a full-back. Just showed Garnacho down the line every time, he didn’t know what to do.”

🗣️ MatteMoretto on FabrizioRomano YouTube channel: “In every transfer window, Disasi is offered in Italy, and he’s always offered to AC Milan. It’s a special occasion, like December 25th with Christmas. Disasi isn’t just offered to Milan, but to other clubs as well, obviously. Even in this case, even in this upcoming transfer window, even in recent days, Disasi has been offered to the Rossoneri, who are actually looking for a defender. The priority was to cover the attack and then focus on the defender. The goal is to sign a defender on loan, trying to be economical with the financial outlay. We’ll see. Disasi, 27 years old, has played 71 minutes so far with Chelsea, and has been offered; we’ll see how things develop.” (via Sempre Milan.Com)

🇧🇷 Chelsea is seriously working to recruit 20-year Brazilian forward and Palmeiras strike Vitor Roque, who has 15 goals in his last 20 games. Roque has also attracted the attention of Manchester United, but Chelsea seems much more concrete in its efforts with their recruitment policy focused on youth and long-term potential.
