BUY EXCHANGE
Samuel Umtiti allegedly showed up to Lyon in exchange for Memphis Depay.
Tancredi Palmeri says Ronald Koeman will bring his former Dutch winger to the Camp Nou this summer.
And that means Umtiti, who has been connected to Man Utd, Chelsea and Arsenal this summer, can return to his former playing box in Lyon.
LOOK AND WERN
In case you missed it, here’s Timo Werner’s first purpose for Chelsea.
RB Leipzig’s 47 million-pound summer signing took less than 4 minutes to break off the target in Saturday’s 1-1 friendly draw in Brighton.

BLUE VAN MAN
Chlesea is a finalist in the signing of Ajax star Amourricho van Axel Dongen.
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.
Van Axel Dongen, however, is more of a regular under-17, scoring 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.
Frank Lampard felt it was good to have some supporters in the stadium again 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 safe first and foremost but it was a nice test.”
UNDERSTANDING SILVA
Frank Lampard gave his impressions of the new boy Thiago Silva.
He said: “With Thiago Silva, we look at a player I know very well, as we all do.
“It brings us a lot of experience, plays at an incredibly higher level, as we saw in the Champions League final and the matches to the top.”
“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.
He has created five goals in 10 games for the Swans.
West Brom is interested in it and Birmingham Live says a possible deal may be anything they review this summer.
DUTCH COURAGE
Chelsea are in pole position to point to Ajax star Amourricho van Axel Dongen, according to reports.
The 15-year-old has already passed through Manchester United and City.
According to The Telegraph, Les Bleus would love to announce this summer.
Van Axel Dongen has won rave reviews for Ajax’s under-18 team this season.
I CAN’T HAKER
Frank Lampard is hopeful that Hakim Ziyech will “not be too serious” after being expelled in opposition to Brighton.
He said: “He’s got a little bump on his knee, a little twist that we’ve evaluated.
“I hope it’s not so bad.”
After appearing to hurt his knee while awkwardly twisting by the touchline, he limped off the pitch.
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.”
BLUES CRUISE
This is how the start of the season is for Frank Lampard’s team…
Writing for the Mail, he said: “If they can add a few more signings, I think Arsenal can be dark horses for the top four.
“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.
“Again, none of this will do much unless Aubameyang puts a pen on the paper.”
Child
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.
“He achieved his purpose very early in the game, showed qualities that I know very well, so I’m very excited to have him on the team.”
“I think his paint speed and everything in it is a wonderful start for him and Hakim Ziyech.”
BEING FRANK
Frank Lampard wishes his Chelsea team a lot this season to avoid being fired, Said Tony Cascarino.
Speaking on talkSport, former Blues playr said: “Frank will be fully aware that getting this investment there is another challenge now.
“He will know that the wait will only be to qualify for the Champions League.
“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 game, Abraham left a bray comment on his Instagram post.
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 has revealed he believes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 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 doctor didn’t take any chances as physiotherapists were helping Ziyech when he left the Amex field.
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 could be sacrificed with Aston Villa interested.
GIAN-BLEU-IGI
Frank Lampard is desperate to upgrade the goalkeeper of 71.6 million pounds after a terrible 2019-20.
Henderson signed a new five-year contract with Manchester United, while the Onana and Oblak deals were unsuccessful.
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.
The Blues signed Timo Werner this summer after the Bundesliga to RB Leipzig.
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 signed a new contract with the club at the end of last season and ended Abraham’s favorite campaign.
THREE PER CROWD
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 top target, with the £90m-rated Bayer Leverkusen star expected to be confirmed at Stamford Bridge imminently.
West Ham’s Declan Rice is also in the pipeline while Lampard is still after a goalkeeper.
HAK’DE DOWN
Chelsea coach Frank Lampard said Hakim Ziyech’s injury would require an evaluation.
Ziyech at the time is part of Chelsea’s pre-season friendly in 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.”
TIM TO SHINE
Timo Werner said it the first of many goals, hopefully.
SunSport distributed our notes to Chelsea in today’s game.
Timo Werner inspired with a first purpose and won 8/10.
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.
