🚨 Chelsea have organised some secret behind closed doors friendlies for Alonso to begin tactical work. Chelsea will play Crawley Town this Saturday, and then Bromley next Thursday. (@NizaarKinsella)

🚨 Chelsea players were put through a bleep test on Monday, with the top 3 emerging as : 🥇 - Reggie Walsh 🥈- Cole Palmer 🥉- Estevao Willian (@NizaarKinsella @BBCSport)

“I think the next signing for Chelsea will be a centre back. They’re negotiating for Lacroix so that could be the next one. Very good player” (@FabrizioRomano via TrevorNoah on YT)

🚨 Marco Palestra in training. (@ChelseaFC)

🚨 Pep Chavarria situation : - Chelsea led to believe £12.8m would be enough, now it’s increased to £21.3m. - Chelsea looking to drive that price down. Negotiations proving frustrating for all parties - Alonso requested him. Talks continue. (@BobbyVincentFL)

Deleted previous tweets. Not going to bother trying to have a sensible debate with people on what might or might not happen. People just have their own agendas to run and are stuck in one mindset. Going to just keep posting news as and when it drops. Thanks guys.

@Dannylace25 I really really want Chelsea to sign Lacroix because he ticks every box they talked about. Not young but not old, aggressive, physical, premier league proven, tall etc.

@CFCPys Lacroix is absolute MUST imo if we fail to bring him in I don’t see how we upgrade on our defence this window. He is crucial

@CFCJacob90 You are beyond annoying and childish.

It’s only July 14th let it all play out Pys. Trust the club and let them back Xabi. They will come through like the always do 🥴🥴 Not even a week after calling out fans for crashing out. 😂😂

@FFulbright I’ve not criticised

@CFCPys Last week you told us to stop criticising.

@matissearmani I am, I haven’t been crying and saying we won’t do stuff unlike some 😆

@CFCPys No no no don’t panic wait till the end of the window brother

@3lliottlarnceV2 I am and have been, doesn’t stop making me curious and a tad worried.

@CFCPys Here’s a thought just let it play out

🚨 Reece James is to remain Chelsea Captain, confirms Xabi Alonso. He said: “He can do everything, he attack from inside or outside. He can deliver, he's good at set-pieces, he has blue DNA, which is very important, and we transmit that to the whole team and new players. He's going to be the captain." (@SkySportsNews)

🚨 Jorge Mendes is working to convince Chelsea owner Behdad Eghbali to accept the Roma double offer for Garnacho and Diego Moreira. (@DiMarzio)

🚨 Alonso on selling Santos: "We have a plan and we have decisions to take. What we have in mind is that in August, we feel that the squad is good enough to compete for every game.” (@peterrutzler)

🚨 Alonso refused to further ellaborate on talks with Enzo Fernandez but said he expects him and others that are currently at the world cup to come back and train like normal. (@guardian_sport)

🚨 Alonso on Xhaka: “Regarding players that are not in the building and rumours, I know you love them, but it’s not right for me to comment” he said smiling. (@kierangill_DM)

🚨 Alonso on formation / players : “You need versatile players who are used to doing different things, and after you need specialists as well, so if we have good balance in the squad, we will be able to adapt better. That's my view. It's not that we are always going to play 4-4-2. That's not in my thinking.’ (@kierangill_DM)

🚨 BREAKING: Roma have sent a bid for Chelsea to Garnacho: £4.2m loan + a £30m buy option that could become an obligation under certain conditions. (@DiMarzio)

Chelsea is one of the biggest clubs and I’m looking forward to having success here” (@NizaarKinsella @BBCSport)
