BLEU VAN HOMME

The Telegraph claims Chelsea lead Man Utd and City in the race for the 15-year-old winger.
The Dutchman has represented his country 3 times in the under-16 category, scoring once.
And he’s already made his debut for Ajax under the age of 18, three years ahead of his age group.
Van Axel Dongen, however, rather a Regular under-17, scored seven goals in nine games from the left wing.
The wide player captained the progression side.
ROM FOR MORE
Everton is a play by Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero.
The Mirror claims that Jordan Pickford could be fired by the Argentine, who will be the third pick at Old Trafford next season after Dean Henderson returned from Sheffield United.
Romero has been associated with Chelsea.
Fantastic
Frank Lampard felt it was smart to have enthusiasts at the stadium on Saturday.
He said: “It’s had an impact.
“We hope to reach this level as soon as possible, we need to be in front of our own enthusiasts and for Chelsea enthusiasts at the Bridge.”
“But, of course, it has to be the first, but it was a smart test.”
UNDERSTANDING SILVA
Frank Lampard shared his about the new boy Thiago Silva.
He said: “With Thiago Silva, we are looking at a player I know very well, pretty much as we all do.
“He brings great experience for us, he is still playing at a massively high level, as we saw in the Champions League final and games towards final.
“So I hope you come and bring this, that you bring your experience, your leadership and your qualities.
“This is going to be very good for us.”
ARTIST AGAINST
Conor Gallagher is most likely available for another loan era for the 2020/21 season.
The 20-year-old has spent this season in the league with Charlton Athletic and Swansea City.
West Brom are interested in him, and Birmingham Live claim a potential deal may be something they revisit in the summer.
DUTCH COURAGE
According to The Telegraph, The Blues is ahead of signing the teen this summer.
Van Axel Dongen has won rave reviews for Ajax’s under-18 team this season.
CAN’T HAKER

BLUES CRUISE
This is how the start of the season is for Frank Lampard’s team…
Danny Murphy has asked Arsenal to challenge Chelsea and United for the 4 most sensible next season, as long as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang stays and the signings pass well.
Writing for the Mail, he said: “If you can upload a few more signatures, I think Arsenal can be a black horse for the four most sensitive.
“As things stand, they would cause disruption to teams, but as long as they do smart races, they will remain vulnerable.
“Willian is a wonderful signing, with his enthusiasm and his winning mentality. Gabriel Magalhaes, Lille’s central defender, is almost over the line.
“If they get the transfer of Dani Ceballos – their most productive player at the end of last season – and point out Thomas Partey of Atletico Madrid, who would give them tenacity and physicality in midfield, I think they have a team to challenge Chelsea and Manchester United for champions.
“Then again, none of that will make much difference unless Aubameyang gets pen to paper.”
CHIL OUT
The boss has to trust Ben Chilwell for Chelsea.
Frank Lampard said: “With Ben Chilwell, he’s a player I know very well, lately he’s been England’s first-choice left-back.
“Great qualities in which you can participate, is athletic, your physique, your game and the quality of your left foot.
“So for us, in terms of how you can help on the left side, in attack and in defense, which of course is above all else, I’m very happy to paint with it, so I think it’s a wonderful addition.
TALKING TO FRANK
Frank Lampard congratulated new boys Timo Werner and Hakim Ziyech after the win over Brighton.
Speaking on the Chelsea club’s website, he said: “I think Timo was cheerful and brilliant.
“I think his paint speed and everything in it is a wonderful start for him and Hakim Ziyech.”
BEING FRANK
Speaking on talkSport, former Blues playr said: “Frank will be fully aware that getting this investment there is another challenge now.
“He will know the expectation won’t just be qualifying for Champions League football.
“It’s last summer’s wait, and if they succeeded with a movement embargo, it’s an advantage.”
Before adding: “Put more tension and Frank will know, but if he doesn’t meet his expectations and goals, he may not be Chelsea’s coach next year.”
HUD ENOUGH?
Tammy Abraham trolled Callum Hudson-Odoi for his “help” Brighton.
After the ball hit the area, the striker mismanded his head and the ball crashed into the appearance of his face.
He fell in the wake of Werner, who spent his effort in front of Mat Ryan.
After the match, Abraham left a cheeky comment on his Instagram post.
WAIT AND ZIY
Frank Lampard posted an update on Hakim Ziyech following the club’s 1-1 draw at Brighton on Amex.
Chelsea wrote: “After the game, Lampard described it as a small twist on the knee that will have to be evaluated.”
AUBA AND IN
Mikel Arteta who thought Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had been “convinced to stay” with Arsenal.
He then added: “My task is to verify to convince him that he is in the right position at the right time,” Arteta told BBC Radio Five Live.
“I think we got that and then we have to make the paperwork and that takes a bit of time.”
GOOD MORNING, CHELSEA FANS
Blues enthusiasts were excited to see Timo Werner purposely hit next season.
The 48 million-pound signing took less than 4 minutes to score on his debut in Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Brighton.
New boy Hakim Ziyech also showed his quality by betting a very good pass to score the goal.
But he ended on a bitter note when the midfielder lied with a knee injury in the middle of the moment.
Chelsea’s medical staff were taking no risks, as physios helped Ziyech as he walked off the Amex pitch.
Later, Lampard told Chelsea that Ziyech had suffered “a little twist on the knee that will want to be evaluated.”
Meanwhile, Chelsea can still make three more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
West Ham midfielder Declan Rice remains a key target for Frank Lampard with Kai Havertz.
And the coach is still a new goalkeeper with Andre Onana as an option.
But the newcomers will also mean departures and Tammy Abraham can be sacrificed with aston Villa interested.
GIAN-BLEU-IGI
Chelsea has already seen Dean Henderson, Andre Onana, Jan Oblak and Edouard Mendy.
Henderson signed a new five-year contract at Manchester United, while deals for Onana and Oblak proved fruitless.
TAM TO MOVE?
Chelsea striker Tammy Abraham is wanted through Aston Villa as he faces a big fight for his long career in west London.
And Frank Lampard is about to bring in exciting German Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen for 90 million pounds.
Having also signed Hakim Ziyech from Ajax, Lampard could adopt a new dynamic for his front next season.
And Olivier Giroud agreed a new deal with the club late last season, and ended the campaign preferred to Abraham.
THREE PER CROWD
Chelsea can still make THREE more signings this summer despite their huge spending.
The Blues have already bought this window from Ben Chilwell (50 million pounds), Timo Werner (48 million pounds) and Hakim Ziyech (36 million pounds).
Kai Havertz is the first target, Bayer Leverkusen’s million-pound star expected to be shown at Stamford Bridge shortly.
Declan Rice of West Ham is also in the process, while Lampard is still behind a goalkeeper.
HAK’D DOWN
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard said Hakim Ziyech’s injury will need further assessment.
Ziyech hobbled off in the second half of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly away at Brighton.
It’s like a knee challenge for the former Ajax player.
The club’s online page said it was “a little knee turn that will be examined.”
Timo Werner said it the first of many goals, hopefully.
The German played his first match since arriving from RB Leipzig.
Brighton enthusiasts were allowed to enter Amex to watch Chelsea’s 1-1 draw with the Seagulls in the preseason.
PLAYER RATINGS
SunSport distributed our notes to Chelsea in today’s game.
Callum Hudson-Odoi also won an 8, which went on strike and laborious everywhere.
However, Spanish left-back Marcos Alonso left behind a lot to be desired after getting an advance booking in a friendly and his careless game gave him a 4/10.
Blues enthusiasts will be desperate to see new recruit Ben Chilwell in the box as soon as possible.
ALL SQUARE
Chelsea drew 1–1 with Brighton in Amex.
The pre-season friendly ended at the point after a penalty overdue changed through Pascal Gross.
But his new ace, Hakim Ziyech, has been busy letting Frank Lampard and Chelsea enthusiasts sweat before the new season.
WHAT ZIYECH?
Hakim Ziyech has left Chelsea’s friendly with Brighton just two weeks before the start of the Premier League season.
The Moroccan was making his first outing in a Blues shirt following his switch from Ajax.
But it ended prematurely, as just ten minutes into the second half Frank Lampard was forced to withdraw the 27-year-old.
After appearing to have injured his ankle, Chelsea’s doctor did not take any chances, as physiotherapists helped former Ajax star to liquefy the field at Amex.
He replaced academy star Conor Gallagher.
