Manchester United transfer news: Ralf Rangnick wants to sign Chelsea forward
Ralf Rangnick reportedly wants to sign Timo Werner who is currently on the books of Chelsea. Manchester United appointed the 63-year-old as interim manager last month following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. However, he couldn’t manage the Red Devils on Sunday against Chelsea as he has yet to be granted a work visa. And as per the Guardian, the German boss will also not be able to take charge in the upcoming game against Arsenal due to the same reason. However, he is still plotting transfer moves for the Manchester giants. According to BILD journalist Christian Falk, Rangnick wants to bring Timo Werner to the Theatre of Dreams in the summer transfer window. He signed the 25-year-old for RB Leipzig in 2016 when he was at the helm of affairs at the R...
Hakim Ziyech wants to leave Chelsea in January
Hakim Ziyech is seeking a move away from Chelsea this January transfer window, according to reports. It is said that the Blues are also willing to let the Morocco international leave Stamford Bridge. The 28-year-old joined the Londoners in 2020 from Ajax in a deal worth around €40 million. His stint at the Johan Cruyff Arena was highly impressive, where he even reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2019. However, the attacking midfielder failed to make the same impact after he moved to the Premier League last year. He contributed only four assists and six goals in 39 total appearances for the Pensioners last season, with the Moroccan also missing plenty of games due to injuries. Now the 2021-22 campaign isn’t going very well either for the 2...

Chelsea back to winning ways after 3-1 Southampton victory
Chelsea have returned to winning ways after they claimed a 3-1 victory over Southampton at Stamford Bridge this Saturday.

However, they have grabbed a brilliant victory now to climb to the top of the table. The Pensioners started well and found themselves ahead in the ninth minute when Trevoh Chalobah notched a goal through a brilliant header. Star forward Romelu Lukaku seemed to have doubled the lead, only for the offside flag to deny the Bel...

‘Incredible’, ‘Key player’: Some Chelsea fans praise £170,000-a-week star after Leicester City win
A selection of Chelsea fans were impressed with Timo Werner’s performance during the 2-1 Premier League win over Leicester City on Tuesday.

Kelechi Iheanacho reduced the deficit for the Foxes, but the Blues hanged on for the win.

Thomas Tuchel reacts as ‘unlucky’ Chelsea suffer back-to-back FA Cup final defeats
Chelsea suffered late VAR heartache as they slipped to back-to-back FA Cup final defeats after a 1-0 loss to Leicester City, Youri Tielemans’ second-half strike proving decisive. In front of a reduced, yet undoubtedly noisy, Wembley crowd, it was Chelsea who made the brighter start, Timo Werner showcasing his electric speed to test the Foxes backline early on. Despite controlling the opening exchanges, the first real chance of the match fell to their opponents, Timothy Castagne getting in down the right and teeing up Jamie Vardy inside the area, the veteran striker’s effort well blocked by Reece James. At the other end of the pitch, Thomas Tuchel’s men almost fashioned a chance of their own, Thiago Silva’s dinked cross agonisingly evading the head of Cesar Azpilicueta at the back post, aft...
