Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news, gossip and transfer latest from icfootballnews that we think you guys may have missed…

Summer signing Estevao Willian has now arrived at CHELSEA, and the young Brazilian star is very excited about making the move to Stamford Bridge after waiting to make that move to the Premier League.

Despite the fact that Estevao has only just arrived at Chelsea and playing on a weekly basis, there is already alot of excitement about what the Brazilian can bring to the club having made a big name for himself over in South America.

He is already one of the best players in the Brazilian league, is a full international and has many of the countries legends coming out and stating that he has the quality to go on and become one of the best players in world football.

Like the rest of the Chelsea squad, Estevao enjoyed time off following the club world cup tournament. But he has now linked up with his new Blues team-mates at Cobham as we undertake our pre-season preparations for the 2024/25 campaign.

‘I am very happy, it feels very rewarding to represent CHELSEA, one of the biggest clubs in the world,’ Estevao said during his first day at Chelsea. ‘I am very happy and I hope to help the team in the best way possible.’

‘I had almost a year and a half to wait until I arrived here. But it has been a year and a half that I have worked hard and have done my best to get here in the best shape possible.

‘I am very, very excited. It is a new experience in my life, a new stage. I am looking forward to it and hope that it will go as well as possible.’

There is great excitement about the young man that is for sure, we are just hoping that this move to Europe hasnt come too early.

CAICEDO ADMISSION MADE

CHELSEA midfielder Moises Caicedo has revealed that he wants to play in Ecuador before he retires, but has no plans to leave the Blues at this stage of his career.

After establishing himself in the Premier League with Brighton, many had hoped that Caicedo would make an immediate impact at Chelsea after his massive £115 million transfer move to the Premier League giants.

His first few months did not go how he would have liked, but he has flourished under Enzo Maresca this season and has really made that central midfield position his own as he now looks like the player many had hoped he would become.

Caicedo played for Independiente del Valla between 2019 and 2021 but has now revealed his affection for Liga de Quito, confirming that if given the chance, he would enjoy bringing down the curtain on his career in Ecuador.

He has won 55 caps for his country, scoring for them in their 2022 World Cup defeat to Senegal in Qatar, Caicedo told Radio Ritmo 98.5: “The future, nobody knows. If the opportunity is given and if God allows, I will return to my country, but if the opportunity arises to be in Liga (De Quito), I will do it without any problem.”

CHELSEA fans dont need to worry about Caicedo leaving anytime soon, we cant see this move happening until the back end of his playing days.

But over the past 12 months, Caicedo has become one of the best midfielders at the club and is starting to prove why the Blues board paid so much money to get a transfer deal done a few seasons ago.

The future looks bright at Chelsea, and it seems that Caicedo will have a massive part to play.

RODRYGO DECISION MADE

Real Madrid star Rodrygo has had a change of heart and wants to stay with the club, despite interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, CHELSEA and Tottenham over the past few weeks.

Rodrygo scored 13 goals and provided over 10 assists in over 50 appearances last season, but Tension has been building between the Brazilian and Real with the winger unhappy with his role in the team with his relationship with his teammates deteriorating significantly.

The former Santos starlet, who joined Real for €45million in 2018, is ‘angry’ with his diminished role and it has been claimed that he would be open to leaving the Spaniards over the next few months, with reports suggesting that he believes he has played his last game for Real.

According to recent reports, Madrid could be willing to part ways with the Brazilian forward if a substantial offer arrives. The ultimate decision, however, will rest with both Rodrygo and new head coach Xabi Alonso.

There were even claims that he had fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu, plus he was allegedly angry that the team was being built around Kylian Mbappe – not Vinicius Jr and himself.

However – Rodrygo is now set to stay in Madrid and wants to convince Xabi Alonso he is still committed to the club.

Rodrygo has been world class for a few seasons, he is playing at Real and scoring the goals that big time players should be scoring, so it is easy to see why he wants to stay at the Spaniards.

However – if the right offer does arrive before the end of the transfer window, we can actually see the Brazilian being shipped out, whether he wants to leave or not
