The Premier League footballers studying to be sporting directors (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The scene resembles an Oxbridge graduation ceremony, but those gathered in caps and gowns are in fact Premier League footballers or former players who have won major honours in Europe and around the world. The 2026 cohort of graduates from the PFA Business School includes Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Coventry City striker Taiwo Awoniyi and a host of well-known figures. In the event at Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, Cesar Azpilicueta tells the group how studying on the morning of the 20
Joao Pedro: Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso says striker like Karim Benzema and as good as Erling Haaland (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Xabi Alonso says Chelsea striker Joao Pedro is similar in style to his former Real Madrid team-mate Karim Benzema - and at a comparable level to Manchester City's Erling Haaland. The Brazil international, 24, has scored twice and provided two assists in his first three games of the season - and was named the Premier League's Player of the Month on Friday. It was the first time Joao Pedro has won the award as he finished ahead of team-mate Cole Palmer, who was Chelsea's previous recipient in Sept

Supporters witnessed arguably the worst first half of Alonso's short tenure to date,

Read excerpt
Chelsea ended Sunday's 2-1 defeat by champions Arsenal with two players who began their careers as right-backs alongside each other in midfield. After spending £349m during the summer transfer window, how did they reach that point? It was Reece James, who began his career as a right-back, who failed to track captain Martin Odegaard as he scored Arsenal's winner at Emirates Stadium. In the build-up to his first defeat as Chelsea manager, Xabi Alonso said he believes James can become one of the be
Chelsea transfer news: Breaking down Blues' staggering 39 departures (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chelsea have had a few remarkable transfer summers since their forced sale from Roman Abramovich's control in May 2022. Once again they were big spenders, outlaying £349m on 11 signings such as Morgan Rogers, Maxence Lacroix and Emiliano Martinez. But there was something different this time. Chelsea actually made a trading profit after selling 17 players. Another 22 were loaned out, four of those with either sell-on options or obligations totalling more than £140m. It meant a staggering 39 playe
