EXCLUSVE! Chelsea pushing NOW to sign Premier League star and could even sign him without more sales!

Enzo Maresca labelled it a joke that the game got suspended for two hours due to sever weather conditions and slammed the tournament location as a result, and he really does have a point here.

And then came a flurry of late goal with Benfica equalising deep into stoppage time through a penalty to send it into extra time. Chelsea then bagged a bunch of goals to go on and win the game before it got to penalties!

Chelsea will always seek opportunities

Some people will call it unnecessary stockpiling of players, but Chelsea will tell you that they are being smart and making the most of opportunities when they sign in all the top young talents from around the globe.

Some will make it here, but many will just never play for the club and be sold for profit eventually. This latest opportunity is one that is close to home.

Chelsea signing Best!

Chelsea are apparently signing Kian Best as a free agent!

According to a report from The Daily Mirror this week, Chelsea are set to sign 19-year-old defender Kian Best on a free. Best was released by Preston North End back in May, which was something he learnt via a post on social media. The report says he will go into the Chelsea Development squad.

Well, this is certainly not a story that any of us Chelsea fans expected to be reading this morning now, is it!?
