‘I was wondering why Bryan Mbeumo doesn’t want to come to Chelsea. Was it a possibility or not?
‘Maybe he knows better but I would have loved to see him at Chelsea and think he would have been very good for the club.’

CHELSEA have just signed Liam Delap, they do not need to splash £60 million and add another forward to the attack unless it is for a world class player, Mbeumo is not needed at Stamford Bridge right now.
A move to Man United makes sense for Mbeumo, they are in need of a striker like him and he will be the clubs number one forward, at Chelsea or Arsenal, that might not have happened.
ANDREY SANTOS OPENS UP
After signing the Brazilian teenager in January from Vasco da Gama, he joined up with his new CHELSEA teammates in the summer and impressed during the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
CHELSEA made the big decision in the summer window to allow Santos to make the move to Forest for the season in hope that he would get some game time to adapt to the English game.
But The 19-year-old midfielder was only used twice by Forest in all competitions and in the end, Chelsea made the decision to bring him back to Stamford Bridge and then loan him out to Strasbourg until the end of this month.
Having impressed while on loan at Strasbourg in this campaign, the Brazil international will be hoping to be the breakout star at Stamford Bridge next season and he has now made his ambitions very clear.
Speaking to Eduardo Burgos of Diario AS, he said: “In principle, I stay at Chelsea. I want to play, I want to have minutes to be able to earn my place in the World Cup. I want to consolidate myself in Chelsea, I want to play regularly and be an undisputed starter, win titles with this shirt.”
He added: “I spoke with Romeo [Lavia] and Moi [Moises Caicedo]. I’m anxious to get to Chelsea. When we talk about Chelsea it’s a matter of winning and fighting for all competitions. With the Club World Cup it will not be different. We want to be the champions.”

Santos is a very talented young man that did not need to come to Europe at this stage of his career, he is far too young and is was too big of a decision to leave his homeland.
He needs to be playing – at Strasbourg he impressed, but he will not want to sit on that bench at CHELSEA that is for sure.
MIKE MAIGNAN WANTED
Frank Lebeouf has opened up and claimed that Mike Maignan would be welcome at CHELSEA, but the club do not need to prioritise adding a new goalkeeper to the side.
Winning a trophy and getting Champions League football last season is more than what many people had planned for Chelsea and Enzo Maresca, but the Italian boss really has done a great job at the club.
But there have been many reports in the media that we are looking to improve a number of areas in the squad and adding a new stopper to the side is something that will reportedly help us really win that Premier League title.
Robert Sanchez has been a massive part of that side this season – but he is not seen as a man that is good enough to play for one of the big Premier League clubs and has really struggled to impress.
That has led to alot of speculation in the media that we will once again delve into that transfer kitty and add a new goalkeeper to the side, and Maignon is a man that has been linked with a move to London for a while.
And amid the speculation, Leboeuf has said that he is an admirer of ‘exceptional’ Maignan but believes his former club should prioritise a move for an experienced centre-back over a new shot-stopper.
‘I love Mike and think the guy is so exceptional and would fit perfectly at Chelsea,’ he added.
‘But if CHELSEA are going to make an exception in their transfers they should get a new Thiago Silva, that would be better than an experienced goalkeeper.
‘That would be my decision. But if they decide to go for Mike, that’s a good decision as he is the real deal. He would be very useful to Chelsea.’

Look, Chelsea do need to add a new goalkeeper to that squad and Maignan could be a great signing, it is that simple.
