OFFICIAL: Cole Palmer has won the Premier League Player of the Year award at #LFA2025. 📸 @TheLFAOfficial

Goal of the Season… Cole Palmer secures the Goal of the Season, sponsored by @theipaper. Well deserved for his incredible performance in the @ChelseaFC vs. @OfficialBHAFC game! 🤩 #LFA #LFA2025 #GoalOfTheSeason

Peter Kenyon: "Abramovich was an unbelievably good owner, no matter what anybody says. He put his own money in, he left it with no debt, he was passionate about it, he came to games.

Chelsea are preparing to reignite their interest in FC Porto forward Samu Aghehowa this summer. ~ @caughtoffside

Todd Boehly on criticism of #Chelsea from fans: "It's par for the course. The reality is the sooner you learn you're not going to keep all the people happy all the time, freedom shows up from that."

Todd Boehly: "A seven-year contract is really five. It helped with amortisation. But when you look at dynasties, they have super-star captains, and what you’re trying to find is that super-star captain." [@FT Business of Football Summit via @MiguelDelaney]

Todd Boehly: "You have to accept it is a unique model but it is the way this market operates. I don’t see it as good or bad. You always focus on how you keep something together for a very long time..." [@FT Business of Football Summit via @NizaarKinsella]

Todd Boehly: "It is a balancing act. Strikers are hard to find. You don't go into the grocery store and say, 'I am going to get a striker'. It is an amazing skillset and you have to have the right mentality."

Todd Boehly: "I am not saying it's the direct answer right this minute [one global broadcaster for the Premier League]. But I think that's where we are headed. And the owners have to be able to take some level of risk." [@FT Business of Football Summit via @JacobsBen]

Boehly on Chelsea fans getting angry ; “ It’s par for the course. The reality is the sooner you learn you're not going to keep all the people happy all the time, freedom shows up from that." (@kierangill_DM) #CFC

Boehly on Chelsea’s power dynamics : “The British press exaggerates a lot and leaves things out. We’ve agreed on a strategy… and stuff’s getting done” (@MiguelDelaney)

Boehly : “December was peak but eight weeks out things are a little different. If you look at the foundations being built, new management team, new academy leadership, sporting director leadership

Filip Jørgensen is the lowest rated goalkeeper (6.33) in the Premier League this season (500+ mins). [@WhoScored]

Told there is nada in the links between Chelsea and PSG football advisor Luis Campos. #CFC are behind their current sporting director set-up’s work

Chelsea's Clearlake Capital ownership group have contacted Luis Campos. They would like him to come in as a Head of Football, not simply at Chelsea, but for the entire multi club group.

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen is emerging as someone of interest to #Chelsea. (@tbrfootball)

Maresca on Enzo Fernandez: đź—Ł "He behaved as a leader and he is doing top, fantastic. For sure Enzo has taken a step forward in that sense. He is showing how good a leader he is, how good he is on the ball, how good he is off the ball and we are delighted with him."

Enzo Fernandez is the first player to create 5+ chances, win 5+ duels and win possession 5+ times in a Premier League game multiple times this season.  ◉ vs. Bournemouth  ◉ vs. Southampton  » @Squawka

Mheuka is the fourth youngest player to appear for Chelsea (aged 17 and 128 days) in the Premier League after Ethan Ampadu, Callum Hudson-Odoi and @JodyMorris

Cole on Instagram đź’™

đź—Ł Mark Schwarzer: "Cole Palmer looks like someone that needs a bit of re-aligment. He just looks off. For him it is frustrating because he had quite a few good chances and didn't take them. He's down on confidence, snapping at things, and doesn't quite have the fluidity he had before." ~ @BBCSport

Maresca hints priority is the league over UCEL : “We have conference league but Leicester 2 days later and I’ve said many times the target is to bring this club back to Champions League” (@footballontnt) #CFC

Enzo Maresca: Every game is tricky an anything can happen. We have to embrace that and we started the game in the right way. This is the worst game because everyone takes it for granted. It is dangerous. I think the performance was there.

Maresca on Cole Palmer: “It’s completely normal, every top player goes through this, it’s completely normal, you cannot expect Cole Palmer every game to be like last season or the first part of this season, it’s about how he reacts now, he’s calm and still happy” (@footballontnt)

🚨 Maresca on fans getting frustrated with Jorgensen : “Well my message to Filip was if you play long ball I’ll change you, he has to follow the plan” (@kierangill_DM)

Maresca: "We are in our worst moment and I said to my players that we are fourth and only one point behind third. That's how well we started the season."

Here are your Tuesday night Blues. 🔵 #CFC | #CHESOU

Chelsea fans are chucking dollars. (@kierangill_DM)

Congratulations to Calvin Diakite, Charlie Holland, Mahdi Nicoll-Jazuli & Ryan Kavuma-McQueen who have all been called up to the England U16s squad for a tournament in Spain. An extra bit impressive for Nicoll-Jazuli, as he is playing a year above his age group. đź’«

#Chelsea have only failed to score once in their past 25 Premier League games at home. Meanwhile, Southampton have kept just two clean sheets in the league this season. [via @BBCSport]

Four losses in their last five matches is as many as #Chelsea had suffered in their previous 29 [W18, D7]. [via @BBCSport]

Winstanley and Stewart in particular were identified (by Chelsea owners) as being willing and able to build out the kind of organisation they were looking for: a modern, collaborative,

Maresca has spent this season trying to create a 'firm but fair' culture at Cobham. One example was what happened before their first league meeting with Villa at home in December.

Enzo Maresca admits missing out on Champions League qualification this season could impact their summer transfer business: “For sure if we finish top four and we can play in the Champions League next season we can convince players to come here."

Filip Jorgensen will start in goal for #Chelsea against Southampton, head coach Enzo Maresca has confirmed.

Enzo Maresca on if Cole Palmer trains harder when he’s out of form: “Absolutely. I will tell you one detail that is very important. Every six or seven months, we do a physical test. We did one in pre-season, and we did one last week. He was the strongest one of all the squad.”

Chelsea held six-month physical tests with their players at Cobham last week. Cole Palmer produced the best results out of everyone. Not scored in the PL since Jan 14 or assisted since Dec 1, but the desire is there:

Enzo Maresca: "For sure if we finish top four and we can play in the #UCL next season we can convince players to come here. But players that are already here? I don't think we need that..." [via @standardsport]

Andrey Santos vs Romeo Lavia's defensive stats per 90 in the league this season.

🗣 William Gallas: “Fans are frustrated because they want to see what Jadon Sancho did at Borussia Dortmund, but he might never perform like that again.”

Back home tomorrow.
