Robbie Fowler has spoken highly of Chelsea, stating that the team’s current form and youthful energy could contribute to a successful season. Before the start of the Premier League season, the former Liverpool striker said:
“I think Chelsea were a good team last year, in all fairness, I think they’ve got great players. They’ve got a relatively young squad.”
Fowler thinks that the Blues’ momentum from winning silverware at the end of last season can carry over into domestic competition:
“They had that season last year, obviously the culmination of winning the World Club Cup. I think everyone will be buzzing around the place because of that. I think that will give them the confidence and the rhythm to go into the season and get wins.”
His words match what more and more fans are saying: that the Blues are building something special with their current project, which has a lot of young talent and new goals.
The focus is on the Premier League opener against Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Blues will want to start their campaign on the right foot with the home crowd ready and the team in a good mood. Fans will be eager to see if Fowler’s confidence is well-founded, both in the short term and over the course of the season.
Chelsea Continue Transfer Market Moves
The West London club are still trying to make important signings off the pitch, with Xavi Simons at the top of their list. Fabrizio Romano says that talks with RB Leipzig have been going on for weeks and that a deal is still in the works, even though some fans are getting impatient.
Bayern Munich is reportedly interested in signing Christopher Nkunku, which could make it easier for Chelsea to finally get Simons. There are reports that Simons has already missed training with Leipzig, which has led to more speculation about what will happen to him.
Chelsea are serious about changing their squad to fit the long-term vision because they are willing to get rid of big names. It would be a big deal if the Simons deal goes through, and it would show that Stamford Bridge is serious about what they want.
