And Frank Lampard is also interested in a discounted deal for John Stones, after an agent revealed that he had vetoed the transfer.

CHELSEA FANS GOOD MORNING
Blues President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he did not win any trophies.
He said: “At the end of the day, we think it’s been a very successful season.
“Obviously we would have been a little happier if we had won the FA Cup.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
Next season, Lampard can win his first elusive trophy as a coach if he achieves all the moving goals reported through Chelsea this summer.
The club has increased interest in ajax defence Nicolas Tagliafico after chasing Ben Chilwell.
Sky Sports claims that the Blues have so far failed to reach an agreement with Leicester by English star Chilwell and that the two clubs disagree with a review.
Tagliafico from Argentina may be the time for the Ajax player to take the Dutch giants to Stamford Bridge this summer after Hakim Ziyech.
But West Ham has reportedly rejected reports that Chelsea has won a bid of 50 million pounds for Declan Rice.
Sky Sports claims that the Hammers have reiterated their position that the English star is on sale and that any offer of 50 million pounds would be ridiculed.
The 21-year-old played for Chelsea for seven years before being 14.
P-RICE IS WRONG

NO HOLIDAY BLUES
Frank Lampard enjoys some summer sunshine in France with his wife Christine and their children afterwards even though they all completed their first season at Chelsea.
The circle of relatives looked good as they bathed in the ocean off the French Riviera.
Lampard even threw himself from a trampoline into Christine’s eyes in a white summer dress to the sea.

WARNING LIGHT
Timo Werner’s former partner supported him at Chelsea.
But speaking to Sport-Information-Dienst, former German RB Leipzig teammate Yussuf Poulsen warned that the 24-year-old would probably want time to settle down.
“I think Timo will be a Striker in the Premier League for years to come,” he said.
“Of course, you will first have to meet your teammates and the league; you can’t show all your qualities right away.
“But he’ll come in time.”
NO NEED TO BOLLATE YOUR IDEAS
Chelsea President Bruce Buck has said Frank Lampard is the right user for the task, and his leadership means it’s an “exciting time for Chelsea.”
He added: “Frank Lampard is a great force for Chelsea.
“It’s Chelsea from start to finish and helps keep showing up.
“He has a lot of credibility.
“This is a time for Chelsea.”
INCREASING MORALE
Chelsea President Bruce Buck called Frank Lampard’s first season “very successful”: he has not won a trophy.
Les Bleus lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal before this month.
Buck said: “At the end of the day, we think it’s been a very successful season.
“Obviously we would have been a little happier if we had won the FA Cup.
“But I’m sure the coach and the players were very happy to lift the trophy.”
IS P-RICE GOOD?
Chelsea has submitted a bid of 50 million pounds for West Ham star Declan Rice reportedly.
The Blues have been connected to a 21-year-old former academy ace throughout the season.
And now Sky Sports claims Chelsea made their first offer for the England defensive midfielder.
Frank Lampard claims that he has made rice a “priority” objective.
However, it is also claimed that Lampard needs Rice to fill the void in defence, which his defensive role he likes in midfield.
ALL HANDS IN DEC
Perry Groves subsidized Chelsea to make a move for Declan Rice.
He told talkSPORT: “I think it suits Chelsea because she already said they look weak in midfield centre.
“It gives them some physical strength and gets ahead of the ball.
“I would be a player who would do it with the two central halves. So it makes sense.
“The value will be higher because it’s obviously English, which increases the value of another 10 million pounds, won’t it?”
LABEL IT
Chelsea have increased their interest in ajax defence Nicolas Tagliafico after chasing Ben Chilwell.
Sky Sports claims that the Blues have so far failed to reach an agreement with Leicester by English star Chilwell and that the two clubs disagree with a review.
Tagliafico from Argentina may be the time for the Ajax player to take the Dutch giants to Stamford Bridge this summer after Hakim Ziyech.
Keep an eye on that.
Former Chelsea target Alphonse Areola is said to have faced a house in England after Real Madrid announced that it would increase its lending period.
Yahoo Sports claimed that the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper had bought assets in London, before confirming that Les Bleus were interested.
PSG already has Keylor Navas and Sergio Rico in their first team and Areola may get out of the penalties.
RUUD AWAKENING
Liverpool has reportedly been linked to a surprise move through Chelsea defence Antonio Rudiger.
The Reds would have him as central after Dejan Lovren’s departure.
Spanish media player Mundo Deportivo says Rudiger may be shown the exit door this summer, with Liverpool interested as Chelsea in a move by Declan Rice.
WAG – WAR $
The biggest payroll in Europe has been revealed, with FOUR Premier League groups among the ten most sensitive, but NOT Chelsea!
With the 2019-2020 national season now over and dusted off, the annual payroll has been made through SafeBettingSites.
HE’S GOT A LAUGH.
Kai Havertz has been announced as a Player for Heracles Almelo after Bayer Leverkusen joked that he would join the Dutch minnows.
The German striker has been closely associated with a change to Chelsea from a 90 million pound deal.
But his coach’s former team, Almelo, tried the race.
Leverkusen played their last game of the season when they fell from the Europa League.

FAST SANDS
Juventus would pay attention to the delivery of Alex Sandro this summer, putting Chelsea on high alert.
The Bleus have long been admirers of the Brazilian, having done everything possible to signal the mandate of Antonio Conte.
More recently, Chelsea hoped to get Sandro in a package for Emerson Palmieri, which has so far not materialized.
But the news that it may be available now with a discount value of 36 million pounds can spark new interest.
The 29-year-old remains a key player in Turin, having played 41 times the 2019–20 season.
But according to Corriere dello Sport, the club’s leaders expect around 180 million pounds in player sales to fund the summer moving budget of new boss Andrea Pirlo, with Sandro being one of the players about to get the axe.
STRONG SPEECH
Daniel Sturridge has appealed to Premier League clubs.
The 31-year-old has thrown a ball competitively since leaving Trabzonspor in March after being suspended for violating FA gambling rules.
Sturridge told Sky Sports: “I’m open to betting in other leagues, it’s not just the Premier League I’m going to consider.
“But going back to England and doing my thing would be a great choice for me.
“I’m very excited, I’m hungrier than ever and I’m totally focused on the next chapter.”
YIPPEE KAI YAY
Kai Havertz would possibly have scored his last goal for Bayer Leverkusen against Inter Milan in his Europa League quarter-final loss.
But if that’s the case, it’s a strike to continue.
The 21-year-old is rumoured to be at Chelsea on a 90 million pound contract.
I think the two clubs had negotiations to agree on those fees and how they will be paid.
But unlike Inter, Havertz showed some of the skills Blues enthusiasts can expect to see in the Premier League.

CHILWELL LAST
yes, I’m not sorry update, but here’s a meme.
Insert a face
AGENT DIDIER
Chelsea enthusiasts are convinced that Declan Rice will sign with them after the West Ham star was photographed with Agent Drogba.
The 21-year-old is enjoying a well-deserved vacation with his friend Mason Mount in Mykonos, Greece.
Fans went crazy after Rice arrived here, Stamford Bridge legend Didier Drogba on his travels.
Some fans are convinced that the assembly planned to boost his move to Chelsea.
Rice shared a photo of himself with Drogba with his 265,000 fans on Instagram.
‘AD HAVERTZ’
Dutchman Hercales Almelo, of the third division, has missed the signing of Kai Havertz.
The coup was done via Hercales on Twitter, with an image of Bayer’s star Leverkusen appearing on his shirt.
Chelsea enthusiasts have reacted in a less way than, as reports have emerged of an agreement for Germany’s emerging foreigner.

REGS BUILDING
Chelsea now face more festivals to incorporate Real Madrid defender Sergio Reguilón.
Blues boss Frank Lampard is desperate to get on the baseline this summer and upgrade Marcos Alonso as the first-choice left-back.
Reguilon’s performances at Sevilla have made his Chelsea the first goal for this place.
However, Sky Sports Italia now claims that Lazio has joined the race for the ace.
This adds even more festival in the star race after we reported yesterday on the group of enthusiastic clubs.
Arsenal, Chelsea’s Premier League rival, Napoli of Serie A and Atletico Madrid, the most sensitive players from LaLiga, have also contacted Real Madrid about a possible deal.
FANS OF THE GOOD DAY BLUES
SunSport can exclusively reveal that Chelsea is willing to pay the penalty for unwanted midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.
The French foreigner has been told that he does not have much time at Stamford Bridge after spending the last two seasons on loan at AC Milan and more recently at Monaco.
Chelsea hopes to bring him back to Milan for just 20 million pounds after Monaco, which sold Bakayoko to Chelsea for 40 million pounds in 2017, chose to exercise a permanent settlement clause of 37.5 million pounds.
Similarly, Milan opted to signal Bakayoko for 32 million pounds a year ago after paying 4.5 million pounds for its 2018/19 loan.
But they are in a position to throw a lifeline at him and expect Chelsea to settle for a down payment of 13.5 million pounds.
Meanwhile, Sergio Reguilon’s agent is rushing to secure a summer move to Chelsea, but Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Napoli are also interested, according to reports.
Transfer Nicolo Schira tweeted the update, saying: “Kia Joorabchian is running to move Sergio Reguilon.
“Chelsea is interested in him, but in recent days Atletico Madrid, Napoli and Arsenal have also asked for information.”
The left-back has shone on loan at Sevilla for Real Madrid this season, but the La Liga champions are able to sell after signing Ferland Mendy last summer.
Eventually, Willian is about to sign for Arsenal after undergoing his medical check-up, he reportedly.
The Brazilian is about to sign up for his London rival Chelsea on a three-year contract after announcing his departure from Stamford Bridge.
And The Standard claims that a loose move is after Willian accepted a salary of 100,000 euros consistent with the week with the FA Cup winners.

BLIMEY CAR
Chelsea icon Ricardo Carvalho believes Frank Lampard can lead him to Premier League glory.
Stamford Bridge’s former central defender, who played alongside Lampard at the beginning of Roman Abramovich’s glory days, told the Mail: “Since he has lost Eden Hazard, he has done very well.
“He was given a spot in the Champions League for next season, which of course is very important, and brought talented young players.
“Frank is building a very smart team and I think next year he can fight for the name with those players, that’s for sure.”
