7 players Chelsea must sell in summer 2025 transfer window to buy a top forward

After signing Geovany Quenda and Dario Essugo to add two of Portugal's best young talents to their ranks, Chelsea will be eyeing attacking help next as they look to go from top-four contenders to legitimate Premier League title contenders in the 2025/26 season. According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, the priority for Chelsea in the summer 2025 transfer window is to sign a new striker and winger, and they are prepared to sell seven to eight players in order to clear out space for two more marquee attacking signings after the trio of Pedro Neto, Joao Felix, and Jadon Sancho failed to make an impact this season. So here are seven players Chelsea could sacrifice in the summer 2025 transfer window. CB Axel Disasi Chelsea loaned Axel Disasi to Aston Villa this year, and while the for...

Arsenal vs. Chelsea Player Ratings: Gabriel Martinelli and Mikel Merino lead the way

Here are the player ratings from a sloppy London derby devoid of creativity with very few examples of individual quality between both Arsenal and Chelsea. Arsenal emerged the winners 1-0 behind a brilliant header from a corner by makeshift No. 9 Mikel Merino. Arsenal Player Ratings GK David Raya, 5.0 Didn't deserve his clean sheet, as he nearly made one of the blunders of the season by dropping the ball blatantly from a rather tame Marc Cucurella volley. Thankfully for him and Arsenal, the ball barely skidded by the post. LB Myles Lewis-Skelly, 6.0 He wasn't ever tested by Pedro Neto, Jadon Sancho, and Wesley Fofana on that right side of the Chelsea flank. CB Gabriel Magalhaes, 6.5 Also very much untested by the Chelsea attack, but when he was called upon to clean up danger, he did ...

How good is Dario Essugo, what is his playing style, and how does he fit Chelsea?

After securing the signing of 17-year-old Sporting CP phenom Geovany Quenda, Chelsea have made another major maneuver on the transfer market ahead of the summer 2025 window by signing another tremendous, young breakout star from the Lisbon-based giants. According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have completed the medical and reached an official agreement with Sporting for the signing of defensive midfielder Dario Essugo, who has been one of the best players in his role in LaLiga this season while on loan at Las Palmas. The 20-year-old will join Chelsea in the summer 2025 transfer window on a deal worth 22 million euros, meaning the Blues will be spending only a half to a third of the price they paid for Quenda (48 million euros, per Fab) - and a mere sixth of what they paid...

Rating four potential Alexander Isak transfer destinations in summer 2025

Newcastle star striker Alexander Isak has now become a bona fide superstar in the Premier League this season, and with 19 goals and 5 assists for the Magpies, there are even some who believe that the Swedish international has overtaken Erling Haaland as the best No. 9 in the English top flight. Isak will command a gargantuan fee well above 100 million pounds in the summer 2025 transfer window, if he even moves at all. But if there's ever a chance of the Champions League-aspiring Newcastle Magpies to sell Isak this year, here are four teams that will be involved in the sweepstakes. Each team is rated on the overall fit, likelihood of a transfer, and what they can offer Isak. Liverpool Liverpool have been the best team in the Premier League this season, bar none, owning a 15-point le...

Arsenal vs. Chelsea: 5 stars who will decide Sunday’s heated rivalry battle

Arsenal are through to the Champions League quarterfinals but will have a big point to prove at the Emirates on Sunday afternoon against London rivals Chelsea after failing to take care of Manchester United, dropping two points to the Red Devils last weekend. So here are three players on Arsenal and two on Chelsea who will be pivotal to telling the story of this weekend's biggest Premier League matchup between second and fourth. Arsenal DM Thomas Partey Thomas Partey will be going up against an exceptional midfield anchoring duo and an even better leading playmaker in Cole Palmer this weekend, so he will need to be as close to flawless as possible for the Gunners. Likely leaving the club at the end of the season, Partey is still a valuable player in the Arsenal starting XI, and he ...

The 3 worst contracts Chelsea must get rid of in summer 2025 transfer window

Here are three terrible contracts notorious spenders Chelsea must offload in the summer 2025 transfer market. All wage details come via FBRef.com. LB Marc Cucurella Even with the caveat that it helped facilitate the move for starting center back Levi Colwill, the Marc Cucurella transfer has to be one of the worst in Premier League history as a 65 million euro acquisition for a below-average left back who is more known for memes and controversy rather than his thoroughly underwhelming play on the pitch. Chelsea haven't had a competent left back in a long time, and Cucurella is only starting because Ben Chilwill could never get healthy. Although the best ability is  availability, as many like to say now, Cucurella pretty much only has that going for him. At 9.1 million pounds per sea...

Three summer 2025 transfers to take Chelsea to the next level

If Chelsea want to take their squad to the next level, here are three stars they need to go after in the summer 2025 transfer window. RB Leipzig ST Benjamin Sesko Chelsea have unearthed one of the better strikers in the Premier League in Nicolas Jackson, who has significantly improved his goal-scoring touch in his second season at Stamford Bridge since signing from Villarreal. But if Jackson is one of the top strikers in the Premier League by comparison, that doesn't mean Chelsea should still stand pat, because a lot of that is down to the fact that most of the other big clubs in England - Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, and Tottenham - are all lacking a great striker. Because Jackson is at least decent, Chelsea don't need to break the bank on, say, Newcastle star Alexander ...

The key outcome Chelsea need for a Benjamin Sesko transfer in summer 2025

Chelsea have been resurgent in the 2024/25 Premier League season, and arguably no club has improved its quality of play this season more than the Blues, who are favorites to secure a top-four place and return to the Champions League. It's a competition Chelsea won outright before Todd Boehly took over and turned the club upside down with haphazard and jaw-droppingly expensive transfers. But finally, some of those transfers are starting to pay dividends for the Blues. Chelsea have a quality Premier League striker in Nicolas Jackson in front of one of the league's best players in playmaker Cole Palmer, but they are still one or two attacking pieces away from truly contending for the league title again. Benjamin Sesko could be close to an exit this summer Benjamin Sesko, who is also w...

Liverpool want to sign young €55M rated Chelsea defender

Liverpool have been the most dominant team in English football this season and are well on their way to securing the Premier League title again, and there's also a strong case to be made that they are just as favored in the Champions League this season, having demolished defending champs Real Madrid in the league phase. But even as Liverpool are running the table and have both the best overall player in the world this season, Mohamed Salah, and the best defender, Virgil van Dijk, the Reds are always looking to refine their squad in order to stay on top. According to a report from Rousing the Kop, Liverpool are interested in signing Chelsea center back Levi Colwill, who is rated as a 55 million euro player by outlet Transfermarkt. Levi Colwill is one of the Premier League's best youn...

Chelsea begin €100M negotiations for world-class forward

Chelsea have been the biggest spenders in world football since Todd Boehly took the club over, and after embarrassing stumbles to begin his tenure, the American owner has the Blues back in the top four in the Premier League and with a real long-term outlook on taking the title from the grasp of the Liverpool and Manchester City battle. Although Liverpool clearly have the leg-up in the 2024/25 season, Chelsea may only be a couple of high-impact summer 2025 transfer away from usurping the Reds - and the Citizens - as the kings of the English top flight. This past summer, Chelsea added a couple of more ambitious winger signings to their existing attacking nucleus of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, who made strides this season, in Pedro Neto of Wolves, Joao Felix of Barcelona and Atleti...
