Chelsea

Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted a strong offer for Noni Madueke from Chelsea would be hard to decline.

Chelsea are looking to improve a run of two wins in 10 games as they face Crystal Palace and may well accelerate their efforts to sign the attacker in the coming weeks. The Blues are in talks for PSV's English winger Madueke, and they may have a good chance of securing his signature according to the Dutch teams coach Van Nistelrooy. Despite an injury-ridden season his stock has continued to rise and Chelsea's new sporting director Christopher Vivell is pushing to sign the attacker, just as he did at previous club Red Bull Leipzig.

They have managed just four goals in their last eight games in all competitions and Potter desperately needs a victory against Crystal Palace on Sunday to buy himself at least a little breathing space. Potter's troubled side crashed to a seventh defeat in their last 10 games in all competitions after another spluttering display. Fulham increased the pressure on Chelsea boss Graham Potter with a shock 2-1 victory that saw Blues forward Joao Felix sent off on his debut before a decisive blunder from Kepa Arrizabalaga.

The FA announced on Wednesday that chants of “Rent Boy,” directed at Chelsea fans by rival supporters, are now considered a breach of its rules.

“That opposition clubs can now face disciplinary action if their supporters engage in this discriminatory and offensive behavior is a step in the right direction. “These chants can have a lasting and damaging impact on people and communities within our game, and it must stop.” It has written to all Premier League clubs and clubs throughout English football to enforce the point and attempt to stamp out discriminatory behavior.

Chelsea Football Club welcomes the FA’s decision to class the homophobic chant directed at our supporters as a breach of FA rules which could lead to disciplinary action being taken.

He could do with a spell out of the side and This is in no way saying it was Koulibaly's fault for the stupid challenge from Felix, but it forced a bad touch from the new Chelsea signing that led to him lunging in. The 31-year-old did equalise for the visitors at Craven Cottage – which was a bonus – but he didn't do the basics right in defence. More often than not, Koulibaly would be caught stepping out of defence, following an attacker, and trying to win the ball in an aggressive manner.

PSV Eindhoven boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted Chelsea interest in forward Noni Madueke is 'worrisome' and 'could take off', as talks have begun.

Indeed, losing Madueke would be a problem for PSV. But as a coach you would rather keep your best players.” The closest is Sterling, who has scored six goals and assisted three. Chelsea were credited with interest in the former Tottenham youth player of late. Now 20 years old, Madueke has been performing well for PSV. There is no better stamp of legitimate interest than from Romano.

15, and Boehly will face a stark choice: back Potter to turn it around in the face of growing supporter unrest, or blow up the plan after five months and start again. The club has been unfortunate with injuries and currently has 11 first team players unavailable. More than half are young players for the future, but of the more experienced signings, none could be called a big success at this stage. Appointing himself interim sporting director was also not well received, leading to snarky suggestions Boehly was “playing Football Manager” – a computer game where players take charge of a club. After a shaky start under the new owners, there is precious little patience for talk of five-year plans. Since the sale, the Dodgers have become one of the most successful, and highest spending, baseball franchises. He did an excellent job at Brighton and Hove Albion and, while sacking Tuchel was highly questionable, Potter seemed a sensible appointment for a long-term project. The problem is Chelsea fans expect success now. Potter was only appointed in September – on a five-year contract – but is already under pressure at a club where expectations are high. During the 4-0 FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Sunday, Jan. Boehly is new to soccer but not professional sports.

Having made quite the impression under Potter, it was a sad blow for the former Southampton loanee. Having missed most of the season so far, former Leicester man Wesley Fofana's influence at the back has been somewhat felt in his absence. Pulling up against Bournemouth, James has suffered a further injury after the defender missed the World Cup in Qatar. Hopefully less than that, though." "Raheem less (than Pulisic) but we’re still evaluating the extent of it. "He is disappointed but he is optimistic about coming back quicker than two months. He is set for another lengthy spell on the sidelines. However, he could be available this weekend and provide Potter with the versatility needed in the coming run of games. Zakaria has started the previous four league games after breaking into Potter's team. Chelsea have won the previous 11 meetings between the two sides, last falling to defeat in October 2017 under Antonio Conte. Patrick Vieira's side come into the contest at [Stamford Bridge on the back of two straight home defeats](https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/news/benoit-badiashile-joao-felix-chelsea-25973801), including a 4-0 drubbing to Tottenham last week. Chelsea remain lower down the Premier League table than they would like as their troubles continued at Fulham on Thursday evening.

Trevoh Chalobah was the main target of a scolding, along with two Chelsea teammates, after the latest defeat in their shocking run.

“You’ve got to show him down the line as well. Results like the loss to Fulham have will not have helped his future prospects in any case. Sack talk has been ongoing for a while, as the former Brighton manager’s You don’t show him back onto his good foot, do you? Chelsea’s form leaves a lot to be desired at the moment. To lose to a local rival and slip to 10th in the process is a particularly bad look for the Blues.

Several Premier League managers are under intense pressure to deliver results including Everton's Frank Lampard, West Ham's David Moyes and Nottingham.

He opened up a knee injury and the club say they are still analysing the extent of the damage but it is likely to be a few weeks before he returns to the side. We might see him come out of retirement in a few months and head off to play in the Middle East for another huge payday. Yes, that might be a cynical view however Gareth is still only 32 years-of-age and he can’t play golf every day for the rest of his life. I won’t go into his many achievements other than to say he was one of the most exciting and skilful players I have ever seen. During the last few months the coach has been looking for a new winger and planned to return Gil to Sevilla who have shown interest in a deal. Fenway Sports announced their intention to sell a few months ago but I told you at the time my inside information was that a full sale was unlikely. He has made it clear that he is on standby if called by the board of Chelsea and has been out of work since leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season. Son is back in the scoring mood again after a misfiring couple of months and both will start against the Gunners. The Gunners look to cement their position at the top of the league and Tottenham fight to get into the top four and earn a Champions League qualification place next season. He has been patient and had the right mindset to prepare himself. Conte admitted he has changed his mind and Gil, like Fabio at Arsenal, took advantage of the World Cup break to improve his physical strength. Boehly has voiced his support for coach Graham Potter but there is no doubt that if the current run of defeats is not rectified then Potter will be under serious threat.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter truly cannot catch a break.Two minutes at Craven Cottage on Thursday night summed up his lack of luck quite brilliantly.
