🗣 Marc Cucurella's response when asked if Noni leaving the camp early to sign for Arsenal was strange: "Yes, I think so. I think he missed a good opportunity (although) he wasn’t playing as a starter.” “I do think it was because of everything that was happening regarding his future and in the end I think it could have delayed him a couple of days since he left a day early or something like that.” “It wouldn’t have cost him anything to wait for that next day. In the end I think he missed a pretty good opportunity." #CFC | #Chelsea 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC

🚨 🇸🇳 Sources reveal that in recent days, Man United have been approached with the opportunity to proceed and start talks for Nicolas Jackson. Chelsea have opened their doors to United. Jackson priority - STAY and fight for place at Chelsea. If that’s not possible, he’d be keen on a move to United. “Nicolas Jackson also would not close his doors to a move to Manchester United even without Champions League or European football next season.” “According to sources close to the negotiations, Chelsea still maintain an interest in Alejandro Garnacho as an option in case Manchester United want to open a proper negotiation for Nicolas Jackson; the message has been received at Carrington, as United are aware of Chelsea's potential interest in Garnacho and they are open to discussing conditions of a swap deal involving Nicolas Jackson.” 🔗 Fabrizio Romano #CFC | #Chelsea 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC

🎙Reece James' Full Pre-PSG/Club World Cup final Press Conference: 🔹Reece James: "We prepare as if we are playing another game. It's a final, but we prepare every game as if we want to win." 🔹Reece James: "This game is a super high level game. They are one of the hottest teams in the world. But this is a final and one-off game. I've been in many finals before where we've been favourites and haven't come out on top. I don't care [who are the favourites]." 🔹Reece James: "The biggest challenge is the circumstances. The travel, quality of the pitch, the climate is so hot." 🔹Reece James on Enzo Fernandez: "Enzo is an amazing player and person. He's come on so much since he arrived at Chelsea. He's a huge part of Chelsea and huge player for our team. He will play a huge part on Sunday." 🔹Reece James: "I wasn't injured. Let's put that to bed. Talking about our two midfielders, Moi and Enzo, two phenomenal players. They're up there with the best in the world. That will be displayed on Sunday. I wasn't feeling so good in the warm up [vs Palmeiras]. I've come a long way with my history. Would I have played? I probably could have. But if I looked back... I thought it was the best decision to not take unnecessary risks." 🔹Reece James: "If we win on Sunday, we would probably be the best on the day. We're striving to get there [to be the best in Europe and the world]. Whether one game decides that is probably up for you to decide." 🔹Reece James: "Stats, data and who is favourites, it doesn't mean anything to me or the team. It's two great, young sides playing against each other on the biggest stage. I believe we will go toe to toe." 🔹Reece James on Joao Pedro: "Joao is an amazing young player. I've played against him many times. I'm not sure how many knew his quality. He made his first start and scored two goals. His quality has opened a lot of peoples eyes. We're happy to have him." 🔹Reece James: “I’m sure the analyst team we have will be looking at the games where PSG haven’t done so well, and we’ll try and adapt to that” #CFC | #Chelsea | #FIFACWC | #Interviews 📲 @CFC_ChelseaFC
