A pair of forwards with aspirations of earning a Chelsea future scored this week, as did a striker and a midfielder who may both already have one foot out of the door, and one other player who is almost certainly not coming back. It’s time for the Loan Report. Headliners Michy Batshuayi has generally scored goals wherever he’s been. That trend has continued at Crystal Palace, where he now has…
You remember the hammerings, the emphatic victories, the moments of glory. You don’t often remember the battles won on the way there, but they all count, and they all have meaning. And so, as Chelsea’s Under-18s continue to chase down Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in hope of clinching not just a fifth straight Southern section title, but also in a bid to retain their national crown, this 1-0 win away…

Pierre Ekwah Elimby added a third before then being sent off, but the…
Chelsea produced their finest academy performance of the season to reach the UEFA Youth League last sixteen as they beat Monaco 3-1 at Cobham on Tuesday evening. It was a performance that was required against one of the toughest opponents they’ve faced this, or any, season, as the French side featured a number of expensively-assembled talents alongside their home-grown best in a team where several came with first-team experience.
