💙 𝐎𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐚’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭:

“I knew Chelsea had an interest in me so that is why I was training harder and when they called me to come here, I was ready. I was not 100% but ready enough to come here and train.

“I made my debut and I think I showed I am ready and now I hope to play tomorrow. It was a great experience so let’s see tomorrow.”

💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐝:

“Every team has a different style of play. Delap has a style, Jackson another and I have my way. But I think that is good for Chelsea.

“I think whoever brings more good things to the team is going to play. Everyone will have to work hard and then Enzo will decide. He is a very good coach, very intelligent and he tries to make it easy for us.”

🗣️ Enzo Maresca ahead of Fluminense in the Club World Cup semi-final:

🤝 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“I think in the last game we had Romeo out, Moi (Caicedo) out, Reece (James) out, and we found a solution with Andrey (Santos) playing in midfield.

“Now with Levi and Liam out, we will find different solutions. Joao Pedro is ready, and we also have Nico (Jackson). For sure, we will find a solution.”

“Romeo is training already.

“Unfortunately, though, he is not training with the team, so he is not ready for tomorrow.”

🇧🇷 𝐎𝐧 𝐅𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐬:

“The strengths, I think they have a very good coach, with experience, they have quality players, Arias, Cano, there are a lot of players who are good players, and at this point in the tournament, I think that any game is going to be very difficult, because the competition is coming to an end.”

Christopher Nkunku is again a target for @Bayern_Munich.

The German champions first expressed an interest in the French forward in 2024, but have failed to land a succession of targets this summer — including Florian Wirtz and Nico Williams — and are keen once again on bringing Nkunku back to Germany, where he was previously so successful with RB Leipzig.

@ManchesterUnited also remain keen.

Chelsea will insist on a permanent deal for the forward, though.
