Conor Gallagher moves from Chelsea to Atletico Madrid for $47 million

England midfielder Conor Gallagher finally completed his move to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, ending a weeks-long saga when issues arose to jeopardize his departure from Chelsea. Chelsea wanted to sell Gallagher, an academy product and the team's vice-captain last season, to help the club meet the Premier League's financial requirements that are being more strictly applied in recent seasons. Chelsea and Atletico appeared to reach an agreement on his transfer but it was in jeopardy last week, reportedly because of the collapse of a deal that would have seen Atletico striker Samu Omorodion move in the opposite direction. That meant Gallagher had to return to Chelsea and train alone but a solution has since been reached, with Joao Felix reportedly on the verge of making the switch from Atletico to Chelsea on loan to facilitate Gallagher's transfer. Gallagher moves for a reported 36 million pounds ($47 million) on a five-year deal. He played for England at the recent European ...

Premier League: Chelsea sign Pedro Neto from Wolves on 7-year contract

Chelsea has signed Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton on a seven-year contract for a reported transfer fee of 54 million pounds ($69 million). The Portugal international joins Enzo Maresca's team ahead of Chelsea's Premier League opener against Manchester City next weekend. Neto spent five seasons at Molineux, scoring two goals and providing nine assists in 20 appearances last season. He told Chelsea's official website: I feel really grateful to have joined this club. I have worked really hard in my career to be here and I'm looking forward to getting on the pitch with this shirt. The 24-year-old winger was unveiled at Stamford Bridge at halftime of Chelsea's final pre-season match against Inter Milan on Sunday.

League Cup SF: Second-tier Middlesbrough beat Chelsea 1-0 in 1st leg

Cole Palmer missed from close range and Chelsea lost 1-0 to second-tier Middlesbrough in the first leg of their League Cup semifinal on Tuesday. Hayden Hackney scored in the 37th minute and Middlesbrough held on at Riverside Stadium against its Premier League opponent. Mauricio Pochettino's expensively assembled team has been eyeing cup trophies to make up for a disappointing Premier League campaign. They'll have work to do in the second leg at Stamford Bridge on Jan. 23. We had too many chances to score where we didn't score. That is football, Pochettino told Sky Sports. We have another 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge, and I think we need to be positive. Middlesbrough hasn't been this far in the League Cup since winning the competition in 2004. Hackney scored after sprinting past midfielder Moises Caicedo a big-money signing last summer inside the box and poking Isaiah Jones' low cross past goalkeeper Djordje Petrovic into the net. It was amazing. Great ball. I just got on the e

Werner, Toney, Henderson ... Mbapp? Key players set for possible transfers

It has been a slow start to the January transfer window in the Premier League. Expect that to change pretty quickly. Deals are being mooted, speculation is starting to fly, and sought-after stars like Kylian Mbapp and Ivan Toney have chosen to talk about their future to the media. Here's a look at the situation surrounding some key players and teams: TIMO WERNER Timo Werner might have won the Champions League during his time with Chelsea from 2020-22, but it was still an underwhelming stint in English soccer for the Germany forward. It looks like he'll be returning to England to London again, too in a bid to ignite his career ahead of the European Championship. Werner is widely reported to be close to joining Tottenham from Leipzig, initially on loan, but with a view to a permanent move. In the short term, he would plug a gap left by the departure of captain Son Heung-min to the Asian Cup potentially until mid-February. It's right that Timo wants to go on loan," Leipzig coa

Long injury list won't push Chelsea to reintegrate Romelu Lukaku into squad

Romelu Lukaku's relationship with Chelsea remains broken despite a lengthening list of injured attackers that is proving a frustration for manager Mauricio Pochettino early in his tenure at the English club. Lukaku has not been given a squad number by Chelsea this season and has made clear his desire to leave Stamford Bridge. The Belgium striker joined Chelsea for a then-club-record fee of $135 million in August 2021 but spent last season on loan at Inter Milan. Chelsea has been unwilling to consider another loan move and would rather sell Lukaku. If ever there was a time for Lukaku to be reintegrated into the senior squad, it is now. On Thursday, winger Mykhailo Mudryk joined an injury list that already contains striker Christopher Nkunku and attacking midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka. Armando Broja, another striker, is not yet ready to play as he recovers from an ACL injury that has kept him out since December. It leaves Pochettino with only one recognized striker for the visit of

Premier League: Chelsea sign Romeo Lavia on transfer from Southampton

Chelsea completed the signing of 19-year-old defensive midfielder Romeo Lavia from Southampton on Friday after agreeing to a reported transfer fee of 58 million pounds ($74 million). The Belgium international signed a seven-year deal after reportedly rejecting a proposed move to Liverpool. The spending spree at Stamford Bridge continues with Lavia arriving just days after Chelsea signed Ecuador midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton for a reported 115 million pounds ($146 million). Caicedo's signing took Chelsea's spending on players to $1 billion in 15 months under its new American owners. The highly rated Lavia has played only 29 times in the Premier League. I'm really happy to join Chelsea and be a part of this exciting project, Lavia said in Chelsea's announcement. It's an amazing football club with a great history and I'm really excited to get started. I can't wait to meet all my new teammates and build a chemistry together to achieve great things together.

Premier League: Brighton's Caicedo completes medical, ready to join Chelsea

Central midfielders continue to be in big demand in the Premier League. While Moises Caicedo looks increasingly likely to join Chelsea and not Liverpool for a record fee for a British club, James Ward-Prowse sealed his immediate return to England's top division by ending a 20-year association with relegated Southampton to join West Ham on Monday. West Ham is using the money the club received for selling midfielder Declan Rice to Arsenal for a reported 105 million pounds (USD138 million) last month, with Ward-Prowse costing 30 million pounds (USD38 million), and Mexico international Edson Alvarez having already joined from Ajax for 38 million euros (USD41.9 million) last week. When I think about my game, it is based on hard work, graft, and giving 100%, Ward-Prowse said after signing a four-year deal. West Ham United has always been a club that has epitomized that. Caicedo is reportedly close to moving to Chelsea from Brighton for 115 million pounds (USD145 million), which would m
