A piece on what’s going on with Raheem Sterling at #CFC. He’s had a few training sessions with the U-21s since ‘that’ Instagram pic but neither the club or the player are in a situation they want to be in. How can it be resolved? https://t.co/yt2VXUTz5K

The 30-year-old forward is out of favour and the major transfer windows are shut. This is the latest on his situation

In the eight seasons since they last lifted the Premier League title, Chelsea have averaged the seventh-best attack in the division. Can this summer's refresh around Cole Palmer finally change that? 👇 https://t.co/cAiDotvO6E

Chelsea's focus in the remainder of the window is on rounding out their attack and sales, not signing a new centre-back - and they are not a suitor for Gianluigi Donnarumma. This week's Transfer DealSheet 👇 https://t.co/85koI9gd2w

The teenager stood in for the injured Levi Colwill and Tosin Adarabioyo and, while his attributes are different, he impressed against Palace
