“He put a lot of confidence in me, he told me about the formula he needs to play, how he could have compatibility and he’s a very smart guy you can communicate with about anything.
“It’s vital to have those dates and accept it as true with a coach and you also need young players to have a chance.”

RICE ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE
According to Claret and Hugh, Chelsea “has already signed their Declan Rice.”
Ethan Ampadu is a player who is already in Chelsea’s books and can take the position of central defensive midfielder.
The 19-year-old joined Exeter in 2017 for a 3 million pound Array deal and has since made 12 first-team appearances for the team.
The foreigner from Wales also spent part of this season on loan in the German side RB Leipzig, where unfortunately he did appear regularly.
The head of the Hammers, David Moyes, has said in the past that it would take “Bank of England money” for the Hammers to even see.
IT’S NOT OVER YET.
Chelsea is still with their team, Thiago Silva also suffers a medal today.
Kai Havertz is also expected to sign up for the club, probably one of the most exciting young players in world football.
Chelsea are also offering 70 million pounds for West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, according to reports.

MOVING TO MENDY
Chelsea has had a bid of 15 million pounds by Rennes goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, reportedly rejected.
The 28-year-old has been impressive this season since his 3.6 million draw to the Stade de Reims, keeping thirteen blank leaves and awarding 31 goals to help Rennes qualify for the Champions League.
Frank Lampard is actively in favor of a goalkeeper with the current Kepa club number one who is unreliable since his replacement of 71 million pounds.
The 6-foot-6-inch giant has a 76% savings percentage compared to Kepa, whose savings percentage is as low as 50%.
MEDICAL BOOK
Thiago Silva is expected to undergo his medical examination in Milan according to reports.
The 35-year-old, who turns 36 next month, will sign a first one-year contract for 110,000 euros per week.
Silva will bring great joy to the club and provide much-needed leadership in his defense, which sent many goals last season.
The Brazilian is one of many who have signed up for the club, Ben Chilwell showed up alongside Ziyech and Timo Werner months earlier.
Kai Havertz will be the next young star to walk through the gates, as will the impressive central defender Malang Sarr, who will register for the OGC Nice before being loaned for the season.
QUARANTINE AGAINST COVID
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard hit before the start of the 2020/21 Premier League season.
Christian Pulisic, Mason Mount, Tammy Abraham and Fikayo Tomori are quarantined, which can cause them to miss the opening match against Brighton.
Their Premier League crusade begins on Monday, September 14 at Amex Stadium, and they hope to offer a team fully compatible with a wealth of new talent.
Chelsea seem to have one of the league’s thrilling tops this season with Kai Havertz, Thiago Silva and Malang Sarr joining Ziyech, Timo Werner and Ben Chilwell.
Bromance
James Maddison wishes his friend good luck when he finished his 50 million pound move to Chelsea.

UNDERSTANDING SILVA
John Terry can hide his enthusiasm when Thiago Silva said goodbye with the excitement of Paris Saint-Germain.
The 35-year-old defender will reportedly undergo a medical examination before his release to Chelsea.
Terry gave the impression of verifying that an agreement was reached after Silva shared a sense of message on his Instagram page.
Addressing his 16.2 million fans, he paid tribute to the French team’s enthusiasts.
He wrote: “Today ends a cycle, after 8 years with the @psg.
“I need to thank my colleagues, the entire technical and managerial team, the fans, my family, God and my friends, for all the satisfied moments we had in the City of Light.
“Here, with my wife @bellesilva, we have lived unforgettable moments, our young people have grown up, we have become French citizens, and we will carry those years and France in our hearts.
“Thank you very much.”
Terry drove enthusiasts crazy when he liked the message and commented on an eye emoji and a blue love heart.
RICE AND EASY
Chelsea is still connected to West Ham star Declan Rice.
And a Hammers legend fears, at worst, that the midfielder/central half may move through London.
Speaking to Football Insider, Frank McAvennie said: “The boy will eventually leave, I just hope it’s next year this year.
“He says he loves the fans, so give them to them next year.
“But it also depends on West Ham’s ambition and they have to buy players to live up to their ambition.
“You have to buy players and you’ll need the owners to give David Moyes cash to pass out and the team.
“They want talent. West Ham is a great club, so we’ll have to wait and see.
CHILD THERE
A big touch of Ben Chilwell at his former club Leicester after sealing his 50 million pound ‘dream’ at Chelsea yesterday.

Meanwhile, Telefoot claimed that Chelsea had had a 14.3 million pound offer rejected by Senegalese goalkeeper Edouard Mendy.
As Kepa prepares to leave the club, Mendy has been covered up to update him.
And eventually, Bayer Leverkusen would hold Kai Havertz’s for Chelsea.

“This is a vital first step in restoring trust and giving other people something to look forward over the weekend. It is a small occasion and is a pilot, so the purpose is to verify plans, assumptions and operational procedures.
“Then we can see if they paint, how they paint and if they don’t paint, why they don’t paint and to allow us to plan more long-term occasions that might be more important.
“We will have to demonstrate that it is imaginable to remain safe and maintain a social distance at this level according to the guidelines.
“From an economic point of view, we want to move through gears temporarily to ensure the viability of clubs across the country.
“We see this as a first transition step to not only help us or Premier League clubs, but also clubs in the football pyramid.”
WITHOUT EXCEPTION
