Chelsea target Ben Wilmot set to be sold

Chelsea star Marcos Alonso sends message to ‘suffering’ fans.

The Blues have suffered a horrendous season in defence of their Premier League title.

Antonio Conte’s men can still win the FA Cup, their chances of a top-four finish are all but over.

However, Alonso thanked and paid tribute to the Chelsea faithful.

He said:

“I appreciate the love from them at this bad moment for everybody.

“They just have to know we are giving everything and we are improving from the mistakes this year. We will come back stronger for sure.

“I feel bad for them because they are suffering like the team, and they don’t deserve that.

“Hopefully we can give them the FA Cup at the end of the season, and then next season we will make sure we improve and we fight for every title.

“We have to keep giving everything until the end of the season.

“If it’s still possible to get in the top four we have to try until the end.

“And in the FA Cup of course it’s the only title we have left to win, and we have to give more than 100 per cent to try to win the cup.”

Top five most valued Chelsea players 2018 Alvaro Morata

Alvaro Morata was very close to signing for AC Milan last summer.

A document published by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has revealed that Álvaro Morata appears to have held negotiations with AC Milan last summer.

It showed the fees paid to agents and intermediaries by every single Serie A club and curiously, Morata’s name appeared on the list alongside Milan’s.

Bozzo later explained:

“The commission is received only after the conclusion of the operation,

“A mandate is an official step that is carried out in such a way that we can work regularly,

“A mandate becomes ineffective when the operation does not materialise. If it was done? That was Milan’s intention.”

The 25-year-old has only managed to score 14 goals in all competitions since moving to Stamford Bridge, and currently looks in serious danger of missing out on a place in Spain’s World Cup squad.

Antonio Rudiger breaks silence after being dropped by Chelsea boss Antonio Conte

Rudiger says that he’s not happy with Conte’s decisions.

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger insists he was fit to face Southampton and has ‘no idea’ why he was axed by Blues boss Antonio Conte.

Rudiger after West Ham draw said:

“I think in the second half we could finish the game off. But like the last few months, we didn’t and we conceded.

“For me, it’s not easy to explain. I don’t understand why after 1-0 we always drop and let the opponent get more ball possession.”

These comments led to consequences of Rudiger being dropped for Southampton trip.

The German was fit but he didn’t even travel with the team resulting in reports stressing about another possible team and manager bust-up .

Some reports claim that it was only a tactical decision and he didn’t have any issues with Conte.

Chelsea FC Players On Loan 2017/2018

Chelsea’s Ruben Loftus-Cheek says that he is in no rush to make decision on his future.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has said he is yet to make a decision about his Chelsea future.

Midfielder Loftus-Cheek, on loan at Crystal Palace, produced an impressive performance in Saturday’s 3-2 win over Brighton at Selhurst Park.

Palace’s relegation fears have been eased, thanks to Loftus-Cheek’s performance in his 4th appearance of 2018.

Roy Hodgson backed the 22-year-old to earn a place in Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the World Cup, and there are suggestions that he would like to sign Loftus-Cheek from Chelsea on a permanent basis.

Loftus-Cheek said he was relishing a more significant role with Palace after spending most of his last three years on the sidelines of the Chelsea first team.

Loftus-Cheek: “I really haven’t thought about what’s going to happen next season,” Loftus-Cheek said. “I’ve still got a few games now. I’m focused with Palace.

“Whatever happens next season, I’m not really looking at that right now. I’ll deal with that when it comes.”

“The experience of being a Premier League player playing every week is just massive.”

Michy Batshuayi in danger of missing World Cup

Batshuayi suspected of ankle break

Borussia Dortmund’s Michy Batshuayi is in the danger of missing the rest of the season after suffering a horrific injury during the match against Schalke.

It was an important game for Dortmund, as they want to make sure they finish in the top 4. But they were trailing 2-0 and the game was in the stoppage time, when the accident occurred.

Batshuayi appeared to roll his left ankle following a challenge from Schalke’s Benjamin Stambouli, before being stretchered off deep into added time as Dortmund finished the contest with ten men.

The Belgium international reportedly left the Veltins Arena on crutches. He has been admitted to the hospital for scans on a suspected ankle break.

We hope it’s not too serious, but we’ll have to wait for an exact diagnosis,” said Dortmund coach Peter Stöger after the game.

The news and prospect of a potential lay-off comes as a hammer blow to club, country and player alike.

Dortmund who are pushing for a top 4 finish, could struggle without the service of the forward as he has been in great form for them recently.

Batshuayi who is keen to prove his quality as a striker, could not only miss rest of the season but also in risk of missing the World Cup in Russia this summer. It could also hamper his chances of rejoining Chelsea next season.

Batshuayi has been a revelation since moving to Dortmund on a six-month loan from English Premier League club Chelsea in February, scoring 7 goals in 10 Bundesliga appearances.

Oliver Giroud delighted after scoring his first goal for Chelsea

Giroud was instrumental in Chelsea’s 3-2 win

With Chelsea 10 points adrift of Champions League qualification, match against Southampton on Saturday was a must win game for them in order to push for the top 4 spot.

But Chelsea were trailing 2-0 after 60 minutes and it was looking like they would succumb to an embarrassing loss to Mark Hughes’ side. Then Antonio Conte brought Giroud in place of Morata and that decision paid off.

Chelsea turned around the game by scoring 3 goals in 10 minutes, Giroud with a brace and Hazard scored another.

The Frenchman was delighted to score first goal for the Blues in the Premier League and admitted that he was keen to prove a point.

“Yeah, obviously I was waiting for it – I tried so many times to put the ball in the back of the net,” Giroud told Sky Sports.

“When you are a striker, you must keep going. I really wanted the team to bounce back in the second half. The beginning was not what we wanted or expected but in football, you always have the opportunity to bounce back.

“We showed great character and team spirit.”

When then asked if he felt he had something to prove to his critics, Giroud replied: “Yeah. I used to say football is an everlasting, new beginning. You must always push yourself.

“The most important thing is to show some character. I have been through difficulties in my career, other times I tried to come back stronger. And it happened today.

“The second goal… the most important thing is even if you concede one or two you never give up.

“I’m very proud of what we did today.

“When I came on, I said to Eden to keep believing. I didn’t tell him we were going to score, but I believed after the first goal we scored. It’s very nice for the team.”

Chelsea are now 7 points behind Tottenham, after they were defeated by Manchester City. They will again face Southampton in the FA Cup semi-finals in the coming weekend, the only chance of them winning a silverware this season.

West Ham wants to sign Danny Drinkwater

Drinkwater could leave Chelsea this summer

Danny Drinkwater was one of the summer signings last year by Chelsea from Leicester City and was brought to re-establish his Premier League-winning midfield partnership with Kanté.

But Drinkwater is growing frustrated at his bit-part role at Chelsea under Antonio Conte and will consider his future at the end of the season after finding opportunities increasingly limited.

The England midfielder was bought for £35 million on deadline day in August having made clear his desire to move. He had even submitted a transfer request to force through the deal, only to succumb to a calf injury on his arrival.

He was unable to play at all until the end of October and, having endured other niggling injuries and illness in the period since, has made only five Premier League starts. Cesc Fabregas, N’Golo Kante and Tiémoué Bakayoko are preferred ahead of him by the Italian. His last appearance came against Manchester City 5 weeks ago.

With Conte likely to leave at the end of the season and the Blues targeting Nice midfielder Jean Micheal Seri, Drinkwater could seek a move away this summer.

West Ham are interested in signing Drinkwater reports The Sun. They report that the midfielder could be a realistic signing should West Ham nab Leicester’s head of recruitment Eduardo Macia.

The Hammers are understood to be keen on making Macia their director of football as they plan a major overhaul of the club.
