Chelsea have also signed 18-year-old midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka from Aston Villa for £20m.

Chukwuemeka, who starred in England's Under-19 European Championship triumph in July, has agreed a six-year deal.

He was left out of Villa's pre-season tour to Australia after refusing to sign a new contract.

Jorginho's goal at Goodison was Chelsea's 139th penalty in the Premier League, the most of any team, one ahead of Liverpool.

RB Leipzig are expected to complete the signing of Chelsea forward Timo Werner on a permanent deal, two years after he left the club for the Premier League.

Chelsea met the Germany international's £45m release clause in 2020 but will make a loss, with Werner set to return in a deal thought to be around £25m.

This was almost like going back to the days of Chelsea v Leeds matches, not quite because today's players are soft & cheats as opposed to hard & fair, all handbag stuff really!

"Such a lack of heart, fight, spirit, tenacity, it's unacceptable"

"Jesse Marsch battered Tuchel"

Good lad I've skanked work today so I'm watching again at 3:30. (I'm self-employed so I can do that)

Don't care what reasons the club have for the Raph fee.

Just shows it took the piss

Was thinking the same. I would of thought we would get more for Phillips and raph than Everton would for richarlison and Gordon - not only did we get less but it’s about 20 million less!

So Chelsea are prepared to pay £60mil for Anthony Gordon and have had a £70mil bid for Wesley Fofana rejected.

Chelsea have already spent £170mil and are prepared to go over £300mil in total.

It's absolutely insane.

Thomas Tuchel says "key player" N'Golo Kante will miss at least four weeks with a hamstring injury.

Someone on here says Tommy Tuke has a personal hygiene problem yet Chelsea spend 170 mill on players and refuse to buy him some Rightguard. Scandalous

As opposed to a net spend of naff all yes.

Live in hope we will get an ambitious owner one day like other clubs.

Chelsea are close to completing the deal for Wesley Fofana.

It will take there spending past £250mil this summer with only £40mil coming in and a transfer loss over the last 5 years of roughly £400mil.

What's happened FFP in Chelsea's case?

[AylingFlop]

They’re probably using the Covid exemption like Everton did. Also getting the spending done now before the new EUFA rules come into effect
