Apart from bringing in new players, Chelsea are also eager to streamline their squad to prepare for the new season. The Blues want to ensure they hold on to the players Tuchel wants in the squad as they prepare to fight on all fronts from August onwards. On that note, let’s look at the major Chelsea transfer news from 20th June 2021.

It struck the underside of the crossbar and nestled wonderfully into the back of the net, giving the Blues the lead in the game. Until Hayley Raso’s equaliser in the final minute of the 90, it looked like it would secure the Blues their fourth Women’s FA Cup trophy, too. It would be Emma Hayes’ side that came out on top after extra time still, with Sam Kerr’s second goal of the afternoon firing Chelsea to their second title in seven days, after the Women’s Super League triumph last Sunday....

The midfielder’s sweetly-struck effort after 51 minutes arrowed into the top corner, having received a pass by captain Sam Deering before skipping beyond a few challenges and letting fly from range. Overall it was a dogged, determined display from the visitors - who certainly had goalkeeper Alan Julian to thank after being forced into a string of important saves late on. They’ll see their name in the second-round draw on Monday after an action-packed affair, which is nothing less than they deserve....

He's not exactly a GOOD dresser, but he's, well, snappy. The jackets and ties he wears have a lot of pizzazz, chutzpah, you know, snap. Well, the NBA on TNT crew was in Chicago on Thursday night, and Benny the Bull, the Bulls' mascot, did his best Craig Sager impression. Then Sager decided to do his best Benny the Bull impression. Unfortunately, Benny wasn't having any of it. The NBA All-Star break really can't come soon enough....

At first glance, it’s easy to mistake Chicory for just a coloring game. While coloring is an integral part of the game that allows players to interact with its world, Chicory is a full-blown open-world adventure RPG whose inspirations lie deep within popular franchises like The Legend of Zelda. Game Rant recently had a chance to interview Greg Lobanov about Chicory, and Lobanov diligently explained all the things that players can expect to do in this game aside from coloring....

What do all the teams in the top 10 have in common? It's easy, they all have five or more wins, and the rest of the league doesn't. The Denver Broncos and New Orleans Saints looked like the best early, but at the halfway point, if anyone in the finest nine finished by winning it all, it wouldn't be a surprise. 1. Kansas City Chiefs (8-0) Last week: 1 Why they’re here: The Chiefs survived another nailbiter at home against another backup quarterback making his first start of 2013, as Jason Campbell kept the Browns in the game late....

Reigning MVP Mahomes sprinted out of the pocket to the left sideline and managed to stay inbounds, before evading tackles from Tramaine Brock and Amani Hooker to reach the end zone with 11 seconds of the half remaining. The quarterback consequently became the first player in Chiefs franchise history to record multiple passing touchdowns – having twice found Tyreek Hill – and a rushing touchdown in a postseason game....

This may be nothing as OTAs at this point are a voluntary activity, but with Jones in the final year of his contract, it certainly is something to note. Jones’ four-year, $6.23 million rookie deal is up after this season as he is set to make $1.19 million this year. He tallied a career-high 15 1/2 sacks in 2018 and the 2016 second-round pick has 24 sacks in three seasons with the team....

The Belgium international has been in good form this season after a disappointing 2015-16 campaign, scoring nine goals in 20 Premier League outings. Who are Europe’s most valuable players? Nevertheless, personal success is not what drives Hazard, who claims he just wants to enjoy himself and please the supporters. “For me, football is like this: I go on the pitch and I try to enjoy it. I do not look at statistics, I do not look at goals, I just want to go on the pitch,” Hazard told Chelsea Magazine....

The Belgium international shook off the disappointment of 2015-16 to reproduce some of his very best form this season, registering 16 goals and five assists as Antonio Conte’s side claimed the Premier League title.

They’re said to be working on a deal to sign the 25-year-old defender on a free transfer in the summer....

Brazilian-born Costa switched allegiance to Spain ahead of the 2014 World Cup despite having played two friendlies for the country of his birth. Simeone: Costa was Atleti’s Messi The Chelsea star struggled badly as the then-reigning world champions were the first side eliminated from the competition and he failed to make Vicente del Bosque’s squad for Euro 2016. But Lopetegui has brought the 28-year-old back into the fold and he scored his fourth goal of the qualification campaign for Russia 2018 in Spain’s 4-1 win over Israel on Friday....

Sterling went off within five minutes of the start of the game. He was replaced by Gabonese striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The former City and Liverpool star headed straight down the tunnel after his injury.

They have followed up a 17-game unbeaten streak with just a solitary win in their last seven matches, as most of the new players in the squad are yet to find their feet in English football.

The likes of Fikayo Tomori and Marcos Alonso have been involved in ongoing transfer sagas....

Chelsea come into this game on the back of a 1-1 (6-5p) over Unai Emery’s Villarreal yesterday in the UEFA Super Cup. A first-half goal from Morocco international Hakim Ziyech for Chelsea was cancelled out by a second-half goal from Spanish striker Gerard Moreno for Villarreal, with Chelsea eventually winning the penalty shootout. Crystal Palace, on the other hand, beat Xisco Munoz’s Watford 3-1 in a friendly game a few days ago....

Chelsea’s Kai Havertz picked a fine time to score his first-career Champions League goal, running onto an inch-perfect pass into space from Mason Mount, rounding the ‘keeper and depositing into the back of the net three minutes before halftime. It was the only goal Chelsea needed, frustrating Manchester City with strong defensive play in the second half — typical of the approach under coach Thomas Tuchel. They would hold the defending English Premier League champions to just one shot on goal the entire match....
