July 11, 2023 Pulisic Close To £20m Move From Chelsea To Inter Milan

Pulisic Close To £20m Move From Chelsea To Inter Milan

 

In a significant development, USA forward Christian Pulisic is on the verge of finalizing a £20m transfer from Chelsea to AC Milan.

Pulisic, aged 24, has found himself surplus to requirements at Stamford Bridge and is scheduled to undergo a medical examination in Milan later this week.

The talented player originally joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in 2019 for a fee of £57.6m, which made him the most expensive North American player at the time.

During his tenure at Chelsea, Pulisic showcased his skills and netted 26 goals in 145 appearances. He notably played a crucial role in Chelsea's triumph over Manchester City in the 2021 Champions League final.

His imminent move to Serie A will reunite him with former Chelsea teammate Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who also recently joined Milan during this summer transfer window.

Meanwhile, Chelsea striker David Datro Fofana, aged 20, has sealed a season-long loan switch to Union Berlin in the Bundesliga. The Ivorian forward had made only four first-team appearances for Chelsea since his arrival from Molde in January.

This summer has seen Chelsea part ways with several established first-team players, indicating a period of transition and new opportunities for both incoming and outgoing talents.

 

July 10, 2023 Andros Townsend Begins Training with Burnley Following Everton Departure

Andros Townsend Begins Training with Burnley Following Everton Departure

Former England international Andros Townsend is currently training with Burnley as a free agent after his contract with Everton came to an end.

The 31-year-old winger, who has represented England 13 times, missed the entire previous season due to a knee injury. Townsend's last appearance in a competitive match was back in March 2022.

Townsend's presence in Burnley's training sessions could potentially lead to a contract offer from manager Vincent Kompany, especially after the team's successful promotion to the Premier League as the Championship title winners last season.

In addition to Townsend's trial, Burnley is making progress in securing a season-long loan deal for Soumaila Coulibaly, the Borussia Dortmund defender. Coulibaly is set to undergo a medical with the club on Monday.

Furthermore, Burnley is expected to finalize the signing of James Trafford, the England Under-21 international goalkeeper. The club has reportedly agreed on a £15 million deal with Manchester City for Trafford's transfer.

As Burnley prepares for their return to the Premier League, the potential signings of Townsend, Coulibaly, and Trafford showcase the club's ambitions to strengthen their squad and compete in the top flight.

July 10, 2023 Chelsea Unveils New Home Shirt With No Sponsor

Chelsea Unveils New Home Shirt With No Sponsor

Chelsea Football Club has revealed their highly anticipated home kit for the upcoming 2023-24 season, notable for its lack of a front-of-shirt sponsor.

The absence of a shirt deal follows the expiration of the partnership with telecommunications company Three at the end of the previous season.

The Premier League reportedly prohibited a potential agreement with streaming service Paramount+ due to concerns about potential conflicts with existing broadcast rights holders.

Additionally, Chelsea opted against pursuing a shirt sponsorship deal with an online gambling company, a decision that aligns with the stance expressed by the club's supporters' trust.

While the Premier League announced plans in April to phase out gambling sponsors from the front of shirts by the end of the 2025-26 season, Chelsea's decision to forgo such partnerships appears to be driven by their own internal considerations.

Chelsea fans can look forward to the new kit going on sale from 16 August, available for purchase on the club's website and in their physical store. The wider release is scheduled for 23 August, allowing supporters to proudly don the team's colors as they embark on their Premier League campaign, starting with a highly anticipated clash against Liverpool.

 

July 7, 2023 Lauren James: England Forward Aims to Establish Her Own Identity Beyond Being Reece James’ Sister

Lauren James: England Forward Aims to Establish Her Own Identity Beyond Being Reece James’ Sister

Lauren James, the talented forward representing England, is determined to forge her own path and create a name for herself at the upcoming World Cup, rather than being solely recognized as "Reece James' sister."

The 21-year-old star, who plays for Chelsea, shares the same club and national team with her older brother Reece James, an established England international. Lauren often finds herself linked with her brother's achievements, and she desires to be acknowledged for her individual merits.

"I want to carve out [my own name] and be known as 'this is Lauren James'," she expressed, acknowledging the tendency for her identity to be overshadowed by her brother's fame.

Although Lauren recognizes that men's football typically garners more attention, she remains undeterred and embraces the challenge of establishing her own distinct career. She is motivated to excel and leave a mark on the sport in her own right.

While Lauren wasn't part of the Lionesses' victorious Euro 2022 campaign, the upcoming World Cup presents a significant opportunity for her to achieve a major international tournament triumph—becoming the first in her family to do so.

However, she emphasizes that there isn't much sibling rivalry between her and Reece, as they are best friends who support each other unconditionally.

Lauren shared her brother's advice for the World Cup, which was simply to enjoy the experience, have fun, and strive to score goals.
