Arsenal set-up talks with Ethan Nwaneri over new contract. No offer or formal discussions yet but progress imminent. The 18-year-old enters final year of his current deal this summer. Club also talking to Myles Lewis-Skelly over an extension. https://t.co/dtkAEHn8a4
I'm very fortunate to get to go to Stamford Bridge so often. She's a historic old girl. Give me soul over swank any day.
Anyway, @OllieHolt22 visited all 92 Football League grounds, ranked them best to worst, and reasoned why. It's well worth your time: https://t.co/QHKuVSLbxK
Maresca: โTo get top four or top five, fight for the title, you need the right balance. Overall in terms of numbers, we are there since the start. To be honest, I didn't prepare the game today thinking it's been a long time since we win away and we need to win.โ [@BobbyVincentFL]
Brighton confirm 18-year-old winger Tom Watson will join this summer from Sunderland on a four-year contract. Understand the fee is ยฃ10m.โ๏ธ
๐ฃ๏ธ Technical director David Weir: โTommy is an exciting young talent who weโve been tracking for a significant period of time. He's had an excellent breakthrough season with Sunderland.โ
Chelsea declare a profit for 2023/24 before taxation of ยฃ128.4m compared to a loss of ยฃ90. 1m for the prior year.
This was down to "increased profit on disposal of player registrations and repositioning of Chelsea Football Club Women Ltd". The women's team was sold from Chelsea Holdings to BlueCo.
Chelsea add that "this new approach will ensure CFCW has dedicated resources, management and commercial leadership solely focused on the growth and success of the womenโs team."
Overall revenue in the year fell to ยฃ468.5m due to the menโs team not competing in the Champions League.
Matchday revenue increased to ยฃ80. 1m as an average attendance of approximately 40,000 was maintained.
The growth in commercial revenue to ยฃ225.3m was driven by an increase in player loan income and sales of non-matchday activities, including stadium tours and merchandise sales.
Decreased operating expenses, profits on disposal of player registrations of ยฃ152.5m and a profit on disposal of subsidiaries of ยฃ198.7m, led to the group recording an overall net profit of ยฃ129.6m after tax.
๐จ๐ง๐ท Carlo Ancelotti: โI appreciate Brazil but there was NO contact at all between the Federation and myself in the recent days. My full focus is on Real Madridโ.
โIโm under contract at Real Madrid and my focus is on winning titles. We have important targets nowโ.
Chelsea have eliminated a stand-by-stand renovation of Stamford Bridge as unfeasible. A rebuild or move to Earls Court are still being evaluated. Both have huge challenges.
