Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip that you may have missed..
Former Blues star Eden Hazard has tipped long-term Chelsea target Kenan Yildiz for a stunning move to Real Madrid in the coming seasons.
CHELSEA are one of a number of clubs that have been keeping a very close eye on the development of Yildiz, who is considered one of the best young players in world football, and a talent that is worth around the £80 million mark.
The 20-year-old helped Juve win the Coppa Italia in 2024 and has picked up several individual awards over the past 24 months, including being named in the Serie A Team of the Season.
But despite the many reports linking Yildiz with a move to the Premier League, Hazard, who enjoyed the best spell of his career at Chelsea before finishing up at Real Madrid, believes Yildiz could end up at the Bernabeu with La Liga giants Los Blancos.
‘My kids are crazy about Kenan Yildiz, they watch tons of videos of him playing and hope to see him in the Premier League,’ Hazard, 35, told Gazzetta dello Sport.
‘To me, though, he seems more like a Real Madrid-type player.’

Hazard was prof that a move to Real Madrid may not be the best thing for players careers, at CHELSEA he was an absolute superstar that could destroy any defence, the moment he went to Madrid, he became a massive flop.
Yildiz does have the talent to play for one of the big clubs in world football, and maybe one day Madrid will come calling, but that does not mean that he needs to make the move there as he may struggle with the pressure of playing for the Spaniards.
CHELSEA TO GET TONALI CHANCE?
Chelsea target Sandro Tonali’s future at Newcastle United is back in the spotlight after his agent, Giuseppe Riso, hinted at a potential summer move
CHELSEA were heavily linked with alot of players over the course of the January window, as many felt that the Blues needed to add an enforcer like Tonali to the midfield, and the Italian was a player that could have reportedly left Newcastle in the window.
The summer window will once again give the Blues an opportunity to try and sign Tonali, and in a revealing interview with TuttoSport, Tonali’s agent, Giuseppe Riso, provided a candid update on the player’s mindset following the close of the winter window.
While Riso was quick to dismiss the January links of a move away from Newcastle, his comments regarding the summer were far more ambiguous: “Newcastle are having a hard time letting go of Sandro, and he wants to lead the club to the Champions League,” Riso explained.
“These transfer discussions will take place later. We’ll see how the season ends and then we’ll decide what to do. There’s no preference at the moment. It’s still early. What we’re saying today won’t apply tomorrow. Newcastle couldn’t let him go now, and there’s no point in moving, especially since Sandro is very attached to the club.
‘We’ll evaluate and decide what to do in the summer.”

Tonali could have left Newcastle in the winter window, and it would have been a massive loss for the Toon to lose such a massive player, especially as they wants to get back into the Champions LEAGUE for next season.
But we really cant see the club making a move for Tonali, that £100 million asking price may out the board off
BADIASHILE TO LEAVE?
There have been some rumours in the media which have now claimed that Chelsea defender Benoit Badiashile is now rated as “very likely” to be out of the Blues’ project as transfer suitors emerge ahead of the summer.
The January window has literally just closed, CHELSEA failed to get any signings that would make any sort of impact on the side despite the any transfer rumours linking some big names with a move to Stamford Bridge.
But the rumours have already started about who could leave at the end of the season, as Liam Rosenior starts to make decisions on the stars that he would like to keep, and the players that he is ready to let leave to make space for some new signings.
And according to reports on the MSN website, Badiashile is a player that Chelsea have informed can leave when the summer transfer window opens up in a few months time.
Badiashile will surely have options once it comes to leaving Stamford Bridge, but he’ll no doubt be disappointed he couldn’t make more of this opportunity. The Frenchman looked highly promising when he first joined from Monaco in 2023, but it just hasn’t quite happened for him in English football.
IcChelseanews Says…
CHELSEA have been signing so many players over the past couple of transfer windows that there are a number of players that we dont need to stay anymore, and although
We are sad that it ha snot worked out for the player, but the best thing for him to do is pack his bags and make a fresh start elsewhere, staying at Chelsea much longer is not any good for his future in the game.
