Garcia Quilon told reporters that there is interest in Luis from Stamford Bridge, as the London side look to replace the departing Ashley Cole. If he were to move to Chelsea, then Luis would compete with current right back turned left back Cesar Azpilicueta for Jose Mourinho’s side, but Quilon conceded that the move looks unlikely due to Atletico’s refusal to sell. “Chelsea? The interest is there, but Atletico don’t want to sell,” he revealed....

In that period, he has scored four times in seven league appearances for La Viola and two goals in the Coppa Italia, both against Juventus in the first leg. You may recall his first, which was phenomenal. He picked up the ball just inside his own half, ran 10 yards, poked the ball past a defender, left him in his slipstream, reached the penalty area and hit his shot high and across the goalkeeper, Marco Storari....

The Busby Babes set the benchmark in the first five FA Youth Cup tournaments from 1953-57, with legendary players such as Sir Bobby Charlton and Duncan Edwards emerging victorious. A Jody Morris-led Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-0 on Monday, to prevail 7-1 on aggregate, with a strike from Billy Gilmour, Callum Hudson-Odoi with two and Tino Anjorin adding to a commanding first leg lead. The success represents the biggest winning margin for the Blues during their impressive five-year run....

According to The Telegraph, Chelsea have set a £40 million price tag for Abraham, as Tuchel does not see him as part of his future plans at the club. Abraham is expected to be joined by Olivier Giroud as another potential departure in the summer. The Blues look to raise funds in order to make a big splash in the transfer window. West Ham are said to be interested in the England striker, but will reportedly need to qualify for the UEFA Champions League in order to be able to afford him....

The £75m questions for Lukaku The 21-year-old Denmark international has renewed his contract and he is seen by the club as the academy prospect that can finally take the mantle from John Terry. Conte has brought him into the fold and he has to be regarded as the most successful player to emerge from a 38-player loan group last season. Chelsea wanted Virgil van Dijk but have saved £75 million by promoting a player from within to boost their back line....

In late 2018, WWE hosted its first-ever all-women’s pay-per-view event called Evolution in response to that year’s WWE Crown Jewel show held in Saudi Arabia which only comprised of men’s matches. Since then, many fans have been pushing for the second installment of Evolution, including some wrestlers such as Mickie James and Maria Kanellis. Speaking to Bleacher Report, multi-time WWE Women’s Champion Charlotte Flair revealed that although she thinks an all-women’s show would be great, she prefers to be on the same card as the men....

One week before the event, it emerged that, regardless of the outcome, Stratus was going to officially retire as an in-ring performer after SummerSlam, and she had specifically asked WWE if she could have her final match against Flair. Speaking to Sportskeeda’s Alan John during her recent trip to Bangalore, India, “The Queen” revealed why Stratus’ plan to retire after SummerSlam meant she felt more nervous than she usually does before matches....

Demonic was shot in Canada during the pandemic last summer. The fact that the film had to be made with fewer resources seems to have creatively challenged Blomkamp. The director told IndieWire that he decided to make the project while living in the country, noting that he had always been interested in films like Paranormal Activity and other low-budget productions.

Goal Keeper – Petr Cech is arguably one of the safest bets between the sticks, and with a new contract keeping him at Stamford bridge till the end of 2016, Chelsea have little to worry about in this position. Ross Turnbull can be called upon occasionally and veteran Henrique Hilario can fill in at desperate times. Though both Hilario and Turnbull lack quality, no reinforcements are required as on loan Thibaut Courtois is making quick progress at Atletico Madrid....

His 2004/05 season was a mixed one for the powerful centre forward. He showed some flashes of brilliance as he helped Chelsea to both the Premier League and the Carling Cup, but he also struggled with injuries and some Chelsea fans became frustrated with Drogba’s attitude. Also he got a reputation as somewhat of a diver. All in all, Drogba scored 16 goals in 41 appearances in a blue shirt during the season....

Manchester City started off the blocks quicker, and immediately put the hosts under pressure. Enjoying a sustained period of possession, the away side constantly posed questions for Chelsea’s defence. Their hard work was rewarded when Raheem Sterling was presented with a gilt-edged chance in the box. The Englishman however failed to capitalise and that pretty much set the tone for how the match was going to pan out for The Cityzens....

Wenger savages Arsenal fans before final Their hopes were extinguished when Alexis Sanchez initially found Olivier Giroud with a quick through ball. Aaron Ramsey slipped the wrong side of Ngolo Kante and from there Arsenal’s record 13th FA Cup title was secure. At times like this it is not difficult to see the issues Chelsea are going to have next season – both as title holders with other top class sides chasing them down –and fighting on an added front in the Champions League....

The claims from Levy concerned the massive payouts made by clubs on players, but the Blues boss believes it all comes down to expectations, and that it’s easier for Spurs to stick to their morals when they aren’t chasing big prizes on the pitch. Get Spurs 8/1 to win the league Conte’s Chelsea have splashed the cash this summer, spending upward of £100 million to bring in the likes of Alvaro Morata and Tiemoue Bakayoko, while Spurs have stayed quite through the summer window....

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side have long been tipped as favourites for the title, and almost clinched it from under Liverpool and Manchester City’s noses last season, before being undone by a disappointing set of results against mid to lower table clubs such as Crystal Palace and Sunderland. As we all know, Mourinho does not particularly take losing well, and we can be sure that this season he will try his absolute best to make amends for last season’s trophyless venture....

The 31-year old dislocated his shoulder when he fell heavily on his right side during the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid. What will be interesting to see is whether Mourinho now recalls Thibaut Courtois (on loan at Atletico Madrid) to be his number one choice next season. Mark Schwarzer will continue in goal on Sunday for Chelsea’s final game of the season against Cardiff City....

The Blues will resume their league campaign after nearly a month when they visit Selhurst Park looking to their floundering season back on track. To bolster new manager Graham Potter’s options, N’Golo Kante and Edouard Mendy could feature at the weekend, as both players are back in contention after injury layoffs. Kante has been out since injuring his hamstring during the London derby against Tottenham Hotspur in August, limiting him to just two appearances so far this season....

He scored just 15 goals in 44 appearances for the Blues last season. According to German publication Bild, Inter and Lukaku have agreed that the striker will need special training and a strict diet to help him get back into shape ahead of the new Serie A season. The report also claims that the Italian giants have re-hired a top chef to help Lukaku with his meals....

Hazard has developed into one of Chelsea’s undisputed star players since joining the club in 2012, but his future at this season’s FA Cup winners is shrouded in uncertainty. Real Madrid are believed to be keeping a close eye on the 27-year-old’s situation and he has yet to open up on his long-term plans. The attacker’s contract is due to expire in 2020, but Chelsea seemingly have different priorities at this stage, with manager Antonio Conte set to make way for former Napoli boss Maurizio Sarri ....
