Touchdownโฆ๐ฌ
๐North Carolina, Charlotte
๐จLetโs not forget Chelseaโs interest in Joao Pedro. Newcastle are trying to anticipate other clubs and are working on a deal but I can confirm once again Chelsea like this player and think he could be one of the attacking solutions in the next days or weeks.

Enzo Maresca on Andrey Santos:
"Andrey is working with us. He's working well, but I think he need time to adapt.
In this moment, I see him more in Enzo's position than Romeo's position. The reason why is because in the Premier League you need to be physically strong."
"In this moment, I see Andrey more as an attacking midfielder than a defensive midfielder."
On Josh Acheampong:
"Any club likes good players. My plan with Josh is quite clear. I said many times that I really like Josh. I think he potentially can be a top defender for this club. Itโs on him to have the right timing to do the things..."
On Trevoh Chalobahโs future:
"All the players with us, I donโt want to lose them. But when the window is open, anything can happen. He helped us get a top four spot and we are happy with Trev [Chalobah], but anything can happen, for any of the 25 players in our squad..."
On Enzo Fernandez:
"I am very pleased with Enzo [Fernandez]. Firstly because heโs a nice boy, heโs polite. And then because with us, since we started, heโs working very well in all the aspects, inside the pitch, outside the pitch..."
โI said many times that I prefer to have the attacking players score 10/12 goals each than just a striker with 40 goals. And Enzo his contribution this season has been top and FOR SURE next season will be even better.โ
On Reece, Lavia and Fofana:
"Hopefully in the next season, these three players that I just mentioned, they can play more games because Chelsea with Wes, Romeo and Reece is a better team."
On Benfica:
"In the last game, they beat Bayern Munich, which shows how good they are and what they are able to do. Iโm quite sure itโs going to be a balanced game, a tough game..."
โIโve watched many of their games, itโs very clear what they want to do on and off the ball, Iโve also watched games with 5 at the back, the most important thing tho is to prepare ourselvesโ
"Now weโre in a knockout game... anything can happen. That is not just for us, itโs for every club, and the players are aware that at this moment the team that makes the most mistakes will be the team that are back home the day after."
Thatโs all from the gaffer for now!
