Chelsea are considering the sale of a stake in its women’s team after receiving interest from investors. Discussions with two potential strategic investors are being entertained, with a potential valuation of about $200M or more.

If Chelsea do raise capital via minority investment, the funds would be invested in the promotion of the women’s team and infrastructure.

Discussions are at a preliminary stage and there’s no certainty they’ll result in any transaction.

🚨🗣 Enzo Fernández:

“I have the possibility of going and I would love to go to the Olympic Games, it is Chelsea's decision and I have not spoken to them yet. I will respect the decision of Mascherano (Sub 23 manager) and after that we will talk about it.”

(Christian Martin via Perla Londres)

Chelsea have had up to 14 players injured during a run where they've lost once in 13, only been outscored by Man City in the last eight matches and have now got 13 more points than last season with two games to play

It's not the dizzying heights of past teams, but it's progress

Today I thought about Joao Felix’s time at Chelsea🕊️

Rio Ferdinand names Malo Gusto in his Team of The Year as the best right-back this season:

"Ben White has been good at Arsenal, obviously. I am going to go with Gusto at Chelsea. I think just for a young kid, how old is he, 20, the way he came out of nowhere and adjusted to the league immediately.

I think Ben White’s a close second, but I am going to go for him, Gusto, because I think they haven’t missed Reece James this season in that role, no wonder I haven’t seen a lot of people talking about Reece James’ absence, and that tells you he must be playing well.”

Pochettino's reaction when hearing that only 3 teams have more points than Chelsea since 26th December (Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool)

I don’t see him as a long term option or even a good manager but IF we win our last 2 and they sack him that’s an absolute joke.

Especially since squad morale is absolutely fine considering some of the batterings we’ve had.

Like it or not there is progress from last season as we've almost doubled last season's goal total.

There’s no guarantee the next manager will walk in and do well with this shambolic ownership.

End crowns the work

Exquisite. Started with a nice switch to Brighton's underloaded half-space on the right, quick switch back again from Mudryk to Gallagher, Cucurella underlapping and superb movement and finish from Palmer.
