Chelsea news and transfers LIVE: ‘Huge’ Abramovich move, Tuchel’s verdict, midfielder signed



Hello and welcome to football.london’s live Chelsea blog on Thursday.

Well, where to start? There has been a whirlwind of news emerging from Stamford Bridge over the last few days.

Chelsea‘s Carabao Cup final defeat is still stinging for many and the news that Roman Abramovich is looking to sell the club has done little to cheer up the majority of the fanbase.

The Russian confirmed in a statement on Wednesday night that he is on the lookout for buyers, delivering the news just over an hour before the Blues faced Luton in the FA Cup.

Another shock looked like it could be on the cards too, with Luton twice taking the lead at Kenilworth Road but goals from Saul Niguez, Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku ensured Thomas Tuchel’s place in the quarter-finals.

Away from all of that too, the Blues remain hard at work in the transfer market as they aim to add to Thomas Tuchel‘s squad ahead of the 2022/23 campaign.

With that in mind, sit back and let us bring you all the latest from Stamford Bridge.
