Chelsea have completed the signing of French centre-back Axel Disasi from Monaco.

Earlier this week, a £38 million deal was reached with Monaco to bring Disasi, who spent last season playing with current Blues defender Benoit Badiashile, to Stamford Bridge.

The agreement is officially finalized, with 25-year-old Disasi signing with Chelsea through a six-year contract.

Chelsea has once again splurged by signing Axel Diasai from Monaco. The defender has been welcomed to Stamford Bridge by co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley and will help Mauricio Pochettino’s defence.

“Axel has showcased his quality over several seasons in France and that has deservedly led to recognition on the international stage,” they told the club’s official website.

“He is ready to take the next step in his career and we are delighted that will be with Chelsea. We welcome him to the club and look forward to him joining up with Mauricio Pochettino and his new teammates in the days ahead.”

Axel Disasi: “I am so happy to be here, at this big club. I am really proud to be able to be a part of this great family, and I hope to achieve very big things here. To win titles. I will do everything I can to achieve those objectives. I am very ambitious.”

“I can’t wait to feel the energy of the fans. This is a very good stadium, one where you have a beautiful proximity to the fans… The fervour of the fans in the Premier League, the atmosphere, the intensity… it is something that excites me.

I’m a defender who likes to properly look for the ball and win it back. he best way of anticipating the opposition player’s move is by being in the best position possible. I like to have the ball at my feet and play passes. I like interceptions, and I like to be aggressive with the opposition, to use my physicality.

It’s a familiar club for French people, and I hope all the French players here now can join that line of great players.”

A move for Disasi was accelerated after it was revealed that fellow defender Wesley Fofana had undergone surgery on an ACL injury which will keep him out for the majority of the coming campaign.

Disasi’s former Monaco colleague Badiashile joins Thiago Silva, Levi Colwill, and Trevoh Chalobah as available alternatives at centre-back for the upcoming season.

Pochettino had an unblemished preseason and will return to Premier League action when Liverpool visits London on August 13th.

William Gallas has disclosed Benoit Badiashile’s biggest weakness after Chelsea signed him from Monaco in the January transfer window.

The Ligue 1 club transferred Badiashile to Stamford Bridge in a £35 million move, and the Blues spent more than £300 million on eight new players.

The 21-year-old centre back from France, who was signed for £75 million in the summer, will probably challenge fellow defender Wesley Fofana.

However, he has cautioned Blues supporters about a critical flaw in Badiashile’s style. Gallas has supported Badiashile to “create a strong partnership” with Thiago Silva.

‘Technically, he is really good,’ Gallas told Genting Casino. ‘He has a presence and is very calm with the ball at his feet.

‘He has a good left foot and is very composed. All the ingredients are there [but] I want to see how he responds to a physical challenge.

‘When he has to go one against one with a good opponent. At Monaco, his weakness was his physicality – he struggled against bigger opponents in France.We know in England that the Premier League is a lot more physical than Ligue 1, so we will have to see how he responds to this challenge.’

Quizzed about Chelsea’s spending spree since the summer, with the west London club having now splurged around £600m in the Todd Boehly era, Gallas added: ‘Chelsea are very behind the other teams in the league at the moment.

‘I look at the club and I don’t know what they’re doing, just buy, buy, buy players, handing out seven-year contracts like in American sports.

‘I’ve never heard of a seven-year contract in England – that is the style of the American owners.

‘I think slowly, slowly, Todd Boelhy will understand that football is totally different to American football or American sports generally.

‘At the moment, he has bought players but where are the results? They fired Tuchel and brought in Graham Potter, but they don’t have the results.

‘They fired all the medical staff but on face value it’d be a concern if they are delivering better results.

‘You have so many players that are injured at the club. Fofana is injured. Reece James was injured, came back and got injured again. ‘It’s a big mess at Chelsea at the moment. What are they going to do with all these players they have signed? They have bought so many players.

‘What will they do with the players they don’t want at the end of the season? They will try to sell them, but some players will not want to go. What will they do then?

‘If you want to compare Chelsea under Abramovich and under Boehly, you have to remember that Abramovich bought the club and the objective was to qualify for the Champions League.

‘He was an owner who took his time. He learned the mentality of the club and also got to understand how football works in the UK – that is what you have to do.  

‘Boehly came into the club and changed everything. Buying players, firing a coach, bringing in Potter, firing the medical staff. It is the responsibility of the owner and we’ll see what happens.’

Thiago Silva has confirmed talks with Chelsea over a new contract are progressing. When his contract expires at the end of the current season, the 38-year-old is expected to leave Stamford Bridge.

He has made 18 Premier League appearances for the Blues this season and has continued to be a key member of the team. Although the Brazil international has put up impressive performances, the west Londoners have had trouble keeping the ball out of their goal for the majority of the season.

Chelsea’s performances have improved since Benoit Badiashile joined the team in January, and as Silva develops a positive rapport with the young player, it would be in the team’s best interest to keep hold of the seasoned defender.

The Brazilian will be essential to Graham Potter’s plans for the Blues as he develops a young team because of his ongoing role as an example both on and off the field.

Speaking to ESPN, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano, Silva said: “We are negotiating. It will probably happen in the next days. My plan is to continue at Chelsea and Chelsea want to continue with me. Chelsea need me with the rebuilding of the club — and here I am.”

In spite of those who argued otherwise and cast doubt on him, Silva claimed that his choice to leave Paris Saint-Germain for Chelsea was the right one before to the World Cup in Qatar.

As quoted by TribalFootball, he said: “It was a tough time when I left PSG.

“Although I was sure my qualities were intact, I know that others doubted me and whether the decision to switch to Chelsea was the right one. It culminated in us winning the Champions League in 2021. It was the perfect way to disprove people who doubted.”

While highlighting the significance of the discussion with Chelsea regarding a new deal, Silva also said that he is eager to continue proving people wrong despite his old age.

He said: “I can tell you that what is important is to continue playing at a high level and help the team to achieve the best possible results.

“For sure, there will be a time when we need to talk, it could be before the World Cup or after the World Cup because I need to know whether I will have a new contract with Chelsea for my family arrangements.

“If I don’t have a new contract, I will have to decide what to do. For my family, it’s an important decision. We will see what happens.”

Chelsea Football Club have officially announced that they have completed a deal to sign Enzo Fernandez from Benfica for a British record transfer fee.

Enzo Fernández joined Chelsea for a Premier League record fee and with Premier League record expectations.

He has now completed the standard first procedures for recruits, such as posing with the shirt to indicate that he would wear the No. 5 and use his first name, Enzo, rather than his last name, Fernández.

Unless you come from a league where you have something other than your last name on your shirt, you must use your last name in the Premier League. Enzo went by “Enzo” for Benfica (No. 13) and by “E.Fernández” for Argentina (No.24).

The No.5 shirt was only vacant for a day, with Jorginho relinquishing it after leaving for Arsenal on transfer deadline day (where he will wear the No.20).

Prior to Jorgi, Michael Essien and Frank Leboeuf were frequently linked to the No. 5. It was also worn briefly by Kurt Zouma, Alexei Smertin, and Erland Johnsen.

The talented midfielder made an excellent 2022, which included a number of standout displays for Benfica during his first season in Europe. He shone for Argentina in Qatar at the end of last year as they won the world title, and he was voted the competition’s best young player by FIFA.

Early on Wednesday morning, Benfica announced that the Blues would pay a whopping €121 million fee to sign the Argentina World Cup winner.

Although negotiations between the two parties lasted the entirety of the January transfer window, the move was not formally disclosed until after the deadline.

However, Chelsea has now officially announced Fernandez’s arrival at Stamford Bridge, making him their eighth and final edition of the winter transfer window.

Chelsea had already brought in Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos and Malo Gusto, the latter of who will return to Lyon on loan for the remainder of the season.

Upon signing, Fernandez said:

‘I am grateful to Chelsea and its ownership for doing everything they could to make me a part of this project. I’m happy and excited to join the Pride of London, to play in the best league in the world and to compete for the biggest trophies. I can’t wait to play in front of our fans and help my team-mates on and off the pitch.’

Todd Boehly, Chelsea chairman, and Behdad Eghbali, co-controlling owner, said:

‘In Enzo we are signing a World Cup-winner and one of the brightest talents in global football. We are excited to add him to Graham’s squad and we are sure he will form an important part of our team going forward. Enzo has demonstrated his ability at the very highest levels so we’re looking forward to seeing what he will do in Chelsea blue!’

According to reports, PSG are ‘absolutely furious’ with Chelsea over the collapse of Hakim Ziyech’s loan move.

The 29-year-old was in Paris on Tuesday night prepared to finalize the agreement and had appeared set to join the Ligue 1 winners until the end of the season.

Ziyech was close to leaving Stamford Bridge, but a string of errors with the paperwork required to finalize the deal — errors for which PSG has blamed Chelsea — prevented him from doing so.

In an effort to expedite the transaction, PSG filed an appeal with the Legal Committee of the Professional Football League (LFP). They claimed that Chelsea’s failure to sign the documents twice was a factor in the third submission arriving beyond the 11 p.m. deadline.

But the LFP refused to grant Ziyech’s loan move on Wednesday morning after studying the evidence presented to them, leaving the player to return to Chelsea alongside a glut of new signings drafted in to replace him.

Sources close to PSG have confirmed that the club are ‘bouncing’ and ‘absolutely furious’ at how Chelsea have conducted themselves, sensationally adding the Blues ‘act like the biggest club in the world when buying players, shame they don’t when it is a player moving the other way’.

Chelsea splashed the dough on pricey signings throughout the whole of the January transfer window as Todd Boehly attempts to inject fresh quality into Graham Potter’s underperforming team.

In the waning moments of the window, a British record transfer for Enzo Fernandez of Benfica was approved. Significant sums of money were also spent earlier in January on Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, and Malo Gusto.

Interestingly enough, Chelsea did not lose any players, which gives Potter a difficult time choosing which three players to add to his Champions League team for the upcoming season.

The Blues are currently 10th in the Premier League, some 21 points adrift of leaders Arsenal who also have a game in hand, and face Borussia Dortmund in the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League.

Chelsea FC have announced and completed the signing of right-back Malo Gusto, who will spend the remainder of the season on loan with Lyon.

The Blues needed a new right-back to replace Reece James straight away and provide some competition, but after focusing on Gusto in the middle of the season, they discovered that Lyon was unwilling to part with the 19-year-old.

Chelsea decided to stick with the deal for Gusto rather than move on to another target, and According to reports, a fee of about €30m was agreed upon for the Frenchman.

Gusto has returned to Lyon to complete the season, and Chelsea has now confirmed that he has signed a deal that spans until 2030.

The agreement is different from that involving Christopher Nkunku, a forward for RB Leipzig who won’t officially transfer to Stamford Bridge until the summer. Gusto is already a member of the Chelsea team.

Since making the transition to the Lyon senior setup last season, Gusto has received a lot of accolades in France. Before joining Chelsea, he made 54 appearances for the French team and contributed six assists.

He becomes the Blues’ seventh signing of the winter, following Joao Felix, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and Noni Madueke in heading to Stamford Bridge.

According to reports, Chelsea are set to hand a contract extension to 38-year-old centre-back Thiago Silva.

With 105 appearances for the Blues since his 2020 transfer from French club Paris Saint-Germain, Silva, who turns 39 in September, is thought to be eager to continue playing until he reaches 40.

The 113-cap Brazil international has played in 18 of Chelsea’s 20 Premier League games this season, which has the west London club ranked 10th in the standings.

Graham Potter, the new Chelsea manager who took over for Thomas Tuchel in September, claimed to be impressed with Silva and wants to keep him at Stamford Bridge past the summer when his current contract is set to expire.

The Blues have already brought in Mykhailo Mudryk for £88.5m, and Benoit Badiashile for £35m while David Datro Fofana and Andrey Santos were signed for undisclosed fees and Joao Felix arrived on loan from Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea returns to play on February 3 when they host Fulham in a west London derby. Chelsea is now 10 points outside the top four in the Premier League.

Chelsea manager Graham Potter has outlined what the Blues can expect from new January signing Noni Madueke and revealed his key attributes.

Madueke joined Chelsea in a £30.5 million move from PSV, becoming the club’s sixth signing of a busy January transfer window. Although the 20-year-old has not yet played for the Blues, Potter has provided some insight into the new addition’s potential contributions to the team.

“Noni is a young player, an exciting player, left-footed wide player that can give us balance and competition in that area,” he told the club’s media.

Chelsea FC look set to rekindle their interest in Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez before the January transfer window closes.

Chelsea are set to reignite their interest in World Cup winner Fernandez having failed to agree a deal to sign him from Benfica earlier in the month, according to The Guardian. The report states that the Blues will move back in for the midfielder, whose contract contains a £106 million release clause.

Fernandez was a breakout sensation for La Albiceleste as they won the World Cup in 2022, and he was voted Young Player of the Tournament for his efforts.

Even though Fernandez has “repeatedly” informed Benfica that he wants to join Chelsea, the report claims that the Portuguese club is still unwilling to sell for less than his release clause and wants to hold him through the end of the current season.

Chelsea, which is mired in the middle of the Premier League standings, has spent every penny in an effort to strengthen their team in January. Even accomplished agreements for players like Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, and more, and they managed to beat Arsenal to the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk in a high-profile move.

However, Graham Potter is navigating the middle of the park through an injury crisis, so their midfield region is still a problem.

Chelsea is reportedly more interested in a deal for Fernandez than for Moises Caicedo or Alexis Mac Allister, both of Brighton.

After an already eventful month, Chelsea look braced for a chaotic end to the transfer window. On the pitch, Potter’s side now enjoy a rare rest following a draw with Liverpool. They don’t face Fulham until February 3.

According to a new report from the Netherlands, Chelsea FC have agreed to sign Noni Madueke from PSV Eindhoven as part of the club’s ongoing spending binge.

Chelsea have agreed to sign PSV starlet Madueke effective immediately, continuing an impressive January spending spree, according to Dutch football journalist Rik Elfrink.

Cody Gakpo, who had an outstanding start to the 2022–23 season and a similarly spectacular World Cup performance, was sold by PSV earlier this month, making it their first sale of attacking talent this month. The 20-year-old Madueke now appears destined for Stamford Bridge and the Premier League with Chelsea allowed to discuss personal terms and arrange a medical with a fee verbally agreed, according to Nizaar Kinsella.

A winger and attacking midfielder, Madueke spent time in the youth ranks at Crystal Palace and Tottenham before relocating to the Netherlands, where he rose through the ranks at PSV. Madueke was born in Barnet.

Head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy conceded that the club wouldn’t be able to turn down an offer from Chelsea if it was strong enough, which now appears to have played out.

Chelsea have pulled no punches in the winter transfer market thus far as they desperately try and reshape their squad amid a difficult time on the pitch for Graham Potter’s side. Madueke follows the likes of Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and loan signing Joao Felix to Stamford Bridge.

Now that a fee has been agreed upon, it seems more a matter of when than if the deal will be completed. However, personal terms and a medical appointment have not yet been scheduled, so Chelsea shouldn’t expect to see the England under-21 team play just yet. On Saturday, Liverpool will host Potter’s team.

Todd Boehly has stepped down as temporary sporting director at Chelsea following a difficult first half-year at the club, with his new recruitment team taking shape, according to reports.

The American tycoon, 49, stepped into the role on an interim basis following the departure of ex-Blues transfer chief Marina Granovskaia.

Highly-regarded thanks to her work under Roman Abramovich for more than a decade, she left west London shortly after the Russian oligarch.

After managing the team for 19 years, Abramovich was compelled to sell it due to the invasion of Ukraine by his country, which caused his connections to Russian President Vladimir Putin to come to light. Boehly, who led a consortium’s £4.25 billion acquisition, assumed Granovskaia’s role but had a difficult start to English football.

Chelsea has spent more than £350 million on transfers, but the returns have been decreasing. This season, they also made the brutal decision to fire popular manager Thomas Tuchel after just seven games.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the 49-year-old has renounced his position as interim sporting director in a novel development. Boehly and his partner co-owner Behdad Eghbali have delegated control to the Blues’ director of global talent and transfers, Paul Winstanley, and the club’s new technical director, Christopher Vivell, even though Boehly will still have the final say on transfers.

Vivell and Winstanley were pictured either side of new signing Benoit Badiashile last week, after the French defender arrived from Monaco in a £35m deal.

The pair will soon officially be joined by Joe Shields, recently appointed as co-director of recruitment and talent, and Laurence Stewart, who’s been given the title of technical director. The report adds that Boehly is fully behind manager Graham Potter following a difficult first four months in charge.

Chelsea’s recruitment drive for the January transfer window is already in motion, with Badiashile being joined by Ivorian wonderkid David Datro Fofana and RB Leipzig star Christopher Nkunku expected to arrive at Stamford Bridge this summer.

The Blues have also reached an agreement to sign Joao Felix on loan from Atletico Madrid, paying €11million (£9.68m) for his services over six months.

However, it doesn’t appear that Chelsea will be getting their hands on top target Enzo Fernandez this month, with Benfica holding firm. Manager Roger Schmidt declared on Monday that talks over the 21-year-old midfielder’s potential departure are “closed”.

“The issue with Enzo is closed, there is no issue anymore,” the Benfica boss said of Fernandez, who recently won the World Cup with Argentina and was crowned Young Player of the Tournament. “He’s our player, he’s in a very good condition, he’s training well, he’s happy, so he’s part of the squad and a key player. I think I’ve already said everything about him.”

Chelsea FC has announced the signing of Benoît Badiashile from AS Monaco as a new defensive center-back. The club has finalized a permanent transfer from AS Monaco, with the player signing a seven-and-a-half-year contract.

The central defender has played in Ligue 1 for the past five seasons and just made his professional debut for France, having previously represented Les Bleus at the Under-16 level.

Despite the fact that he will turn 22 in March, Badiashile already has extensive experience in the French top division and in Europe, where he has played for Monaco in the Champions League and Europa League, totalling about 150 matches in all competitions.

At 6 feet 4 inches, Badiashile is a strong defender in the air, but he is also at ease with the ball in his feet. He can play quick passes out of the back or change the play with long diagonal passes. He has experience playing in both a back four and a back three at the club level, and his lightning pace is a vital quality.

While still a youngster, he solidified himself as Monaco’s left-sided centre defender, and Didier Deschamps gave him his international debut in September at the age of just 21 as compensation for his significant contribution to Monaco’s back-to-back third-place finishes in Ligue 1.

Badiashile completed his physical for the club yesterday, and all that remained before the deal was finalised was for the club to make this announcement.

The French defender is highly regarded and is likely to be an important element of Chelsea’s defense for many years to come.

Speaking on his move to Chelsea, Benoit Badiashile had this to say, “I’m very happy to be here at Chelsea. I’m so excited to start playing for this club. I can’t wait to see the fans and start playing in the best league in the world”.

Chelsea Chairman Todd Boehly and co-controlling owner Behdad Eghbali said: ‘We’re delighted to welcome Benoit to Chelsea. He’s an excellent young player who has quickly established a strong reputation for himself and has a huge amount of experience for his young age. We are sure he will form an important part of our team in the years ahead.’
