Don’t be surprised if Chelsea transfer flop becomes breakout star under Enzo Maresca

Chelsea have spent big on attackers again this summer, as they have brought in veterans Pedro Neto and Joao Felix, as well as prospect Estevao Willian from Brazil for the 2025/26 season. Still, Chelsea are after more attacking stars. Jadon Sancho is yet another notable possibility on the wing, while Chelsea continue to be linked to star strikers Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen after agreeing to a deal to send Romelu Lukaku to Napoli. After putting up six on Wolves in an impressive display, the Chelsea attack was far more subdued against far less difficult competition, falling 2-1 to Servette in the second leg of the Conference League playoff. Fortunately, this defeat carries no consequences, as Chelsea were already through after beating Servette 2-0 in the first leg, but this result...

Enzo Maresca is already pushing a Chelsea forward out the door

Chelsea left Matchday 2 of the 2024/25 Premier League season as the biggest winners, with hat-trick hero Noni Madueke and superstar Cole Palmer ruling the pitch against Wolves in a refreshing xG overperformance that yielded a 6-2 victory. Even Pedro Neto got involved off the bench against his former employers, as he assisted fellow incoming Portuguese star Joao Felix in the 80th minute to put the cherry on top of a dream showing for Enzo Maresca following Matchday 1's difficult defeat to Manchester City. It was a banner day for the Chelsea attack, with Madueke scoring three and assisting one, Palmer bagging a goal and a hat-trick of assists, and even striker Nicolas Jackson nabbing a brace on the road. However, left wing Mykhaylo Mudryk was the odd man out, as he was the lone atta...

10 Premier League players with a point to prove in the 2024/25 season

From a trio of Chelsea stars to a high-priced Manchester United duo and even a pair of very talented Manchester City stars, here are ten Premier League players with a major point to prove in the upcoming 2024/25 season. West Ham RB Aaron Wan-Bissaka West Ham purchased Aaron Wan-Bissaka to replace Vladimir Coufal as their next right back, signing the former Crystal Palace man from Manchester United after Noussair Mazraoui rejected the Hammers in order to replace AWB at Old Trafford. The game of right back musical chairs lands West Ham a potentially high-upside starter at right back - at least, higher upside than Coufal - because AWB was one of the top fullbacks in the Premier League during his time with Palace. Wan-Bissaka averaged an astounding 3.7 tackles and 2.4 interceptions p...

Ranking The 10 Worst Chelsea Transfers Of The Todd Boehly Era So Far

In the summer 2022, Todd Boehly kicked off a new era at Chelsea that can only be described as disastrous. The former 2020/21 Champions League winners under Thomas Tuchel quickly fired the beloved German manager, brought in Boehly's pick Graham Potter from Brighton, promptly fired him, and have since entered a tumultuous relationship with ex-Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino. Chelsea have gone from regular Champions League contenders and European champions to a team that basically has little hope of getting back into any sort of European competition. They are spending more money than anyone else yet getting results equivocal to the likes of Wolves and Fulham within the Premier League. Other than success under Pochettino in cups, there isn't much to love about the Blues right now. ...
