Colwill definitely has a future under the new coach but not sure about Badiashile or Disasi. Especially Disasi. Think we could see one or probably two new CB's brought in. Wes Fofana doesn't even count at this stage.

I agree about Disasi for sure. Not convinced by Badiashile either, although he played well when he first joined so perhaps there’s a decent player there.
Fofana could be like a new signing though if he can recover from his injury. He’s the quickest of all our centre backs, and good in the air. I’ve got my fingers crossed for him.

I agree that Colwill and Fofana would suit Maresca style of football more but that raises the question of why are we looking at that Fulham defender Tosin? He doesn't look the quickest and a bit reckless. I personally think Badiashile is better in a back 3 where he's got someone covering him.

Not sure Mudryk or Madueke would suit a possession based team. Sterling probably more suited

Chelsea are among Premier League clubs circling Leeds for Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville who is expected to cost around £30million. He has also been linked to Liverpool. (Telegraph)

Chelsea have exercised an option to extend Hutchinson's contract at Stamford Bridge to 2026. Blues officials will soon sit down with Enzo Maresca to decide whether to keep, loan or sell Hutchinson. (via @NizaarKinsella)

Victor Osimhen has been ruled out of Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin next month due to an injury. 🚨🇳🇬

If #Chelsea were to sell Omari Hutchinson, they would be looking for around £25M.

[via @JacobsBen]

some random youngsters we buy from other countries, who have proven little in their careers thus far, tend to go for a similar amount

I guess we’ll have a proper idea how good this kid is after a loan to Ipswich again in the PL.

The likes of Izzy Brown were good in the championship too back in the day

Looks like we're going to need a new keeper as Maresca likes a keeper who comes out and plays a bit. Bit like Ederson at City. Doesn't look like Petrovic is that keeper.

Linked to Trafford, the Burnley keeper, which is err...interesting lol

🚨 5 is not only the length of the contract but Chelsea could make 5 signings this summer! Maybe more maybe less, let’s see, but they’re looking at GK, CB, ST and wingers! (@FabrizioRomano)

Can't understand why we want more wingers when we have Chuckwumeka, Madueke, Mudryk, Nkunku, Palmer and Sterling. We will also be having Estevão and Kendry coming next year as well.

Wonder if we're still targeting Sesko ? Maresca likes a baller striker to drop deep and get involved with play.

We are indeed, if reports are true

Willy Caballero, coach Danny Walker, goalkeeper coach Michele de Bernardin, fitness coach Marcos Alvarez and first-team analyst Javier Molina Caballero are all expected to join Enzo Maresca at Chelsea. (@JPercyTelegraph) #CFC

Mb Lukaku will work

I hope this doesn't mean Kepa is returning. Wouldn't rule it out as he can obviously play with his feet

Possibility we go for the Leicester keeper I reckon. Apparently he had quite a decent season.
