2025-26 season coming in hot...

Matt Davies-Adams, Liam Twomey and Simon Johnson are BACK as we round up a rather extensive list of transfer incomings and outgoings with the new campaign fast approaching.

First things first, The Athletic's German football expert Seb Stafford-Bloor gives us an flavour of what Blues fans can expect from Jamie Gittens, a transfer that got overshadowed amid the July's Club World Cup glory. Plus - are Chelsea in pole position to sign Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig?

We run through some of the other key storylines including the arrival of exciting young Dutch defender Jorrel Hato, whether the club are still in the market for a goalkeeper - and when we might expect movement on the approach for Manchester United's wantaway forward Alejandro Garnacho.

There's plenty of outgoings too - with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall on his way to Everton and Burnley becoming a bit of a feeder club... plus, the obligatory look at who's on their way to Strasbourg - and whether Nicolas Jackson could yet be on his way before the window closes.

Away from all the transfer news - we get the chance to hear from no other than Levi Colwill! Reflecting on a summer to remember over in the USA and his exciting role in developing the new LSC academy.

We'll be back next Monday with our bumper look ahead to the opening weekend tie against Crystal Palace AND the 2025-26 season as a whole!
