Sources confirm Madueke's contract at Arsenal will be valid for five years, while he will maintain same salary structure as he has now at Chelsea. He is understood to be interested in Arsenal's vision, project and Arteta has also approved his signing.

Arsenal are prepared to send an official bid to Chelsea very soon for Madueke, with club-to-club talks due to start.

Sources on both sides speak of different valuation for Madueke, but conversations between them in a good relationship after Kepa deal.

I don't think they [Chelsea] are actively trying to shift Nicolas Jackson, but he is liked by a lot of clubs. And Chelsea are always open to conversations.

I think Newcastle made a stronger move in this window [for Joao Pedro] and tried to convince him to join. I think they would have been prepared to do a deal with Brighton, but his preference was always to join Chelsea.

🚨🔵 Chelsea are not accepting loan proposals for Lesley Ugochukwu as priority is for permanent sale.

Valencia and more clubs interested but Chelsea say no to loan move. There are Premier League clubs also keen.

🚨Chelsea sources remain confident that they will not be adversely affected by the settlement agreement. They stress they are not forced to sell players unless they want to go and are NOT concerned about registering players for the UCL.

A rough calculation of amortised transfer fees alone, not including salary costs, suggests Chelsea may need to find north of £60m to register all new signings and achieve Uefa’s “positive balance” requirement.

"I think this is good for Chelsea because we have new players with a lot of quality. They joined a club where we try to win every game.”

“Hopefully, they bring good energy, the quality we know and we try to stay with them. I think it's early for them but hopefully they can bring fresh energy and a lot of quality."

“Estevão? I think he's a good player with a lot of talent. We want to help him. We try to help him in all the things that we can."

🗣Gittens:

“Enzo Maresca was showing me the way he likes to play with wingers, the system is built for wingers to attack their full backs and create stuff and I thought doing it with Enzo in his system is perfect for me”

“Moises Caicedo I see he is a beast, Enzo Fernandez is a World Cup winner, Cole Palmer, Liam, I think everyone I’m looking forward to, Reece James the captain”

“I’m a very direct winger, lots of dribbling actions, trying to make stuff happen and be creative, score and assist and work hard, that’s what I think (the fans) will see from me”

"My message to the fans? Keep supporting, keep believing and I’m certain in the future we are going to do great things with this team”

"Benfica is my home. One day I will return. I don’t know if it will be now or in a few years. If it is now I will be happy. Everyone knows that Benfica is the club of my heart. One day I will certainly return. I don’t know if it will be now or in the future. I have some ideas in my head."

"He [Thiago Silva] texted me before the [quarter-final] game saying, ‘Let’s go, hopefully we can see you in a couple of days’.

🗣 Malo Gusto:

"I think during this tournament mental strength has been the most important thing and that’s why we are happy to be in the semi-final. We’ve shown that on the pitch in all the games we’ve had."

"We play a lot of games so one game can be bad and then the second can be much better. The most important thing is to deal with that and to just stay focused on the team and trying to give our best, to make yourself better game by game. That’s what I try to do."
