Here is the latest Chelsea news, gossip and transfer talk that you could have missed from icchelseanews guys…enjoy.

Sol Gordon has signed his first professional contract with CHELSEA shortly after celebrating his 17th birthday, the Blues have announced on the club website.

Chelsea posted on the club website: ‘Gordon joined the club during his Under-8s season after progressing through our development centre programme and has moved through the age groups since, joining Hassan Sulaiman’s Under-18s squad full-time for the current campaign.

‘Last season he was part of the Chelsea Under-16s side which won the Premier League National Tournament and played a pivotal role in our Under-17 Premier League Cup victory, beating Wolverhampton Wanderers in the final at Molineux.

‘This season Gordon has continued to progress, scoring eight goals so far across the Under-18 Premier League and Under-18 Premier League Cup, most recently hitting a brace in Saturday’s 4-1 win at Millwall in the latter competition.

‘Congratulations, Sol!’

We have one of the best academies in world football and have some of the best talents around, so the news that Gordon has agreed his first contract means that he could be part of the clubs future plans.

This is great news for the lad and one that he hopes will help fulfil his dreams, but the hard work starts now as he will need to prove that he is good enough to stay at the club and keep on earning those contracts.

CHELSEA WANTS GYOKERES IN JANUARY

Reports have claimed CHELSEA are ready to pay £75 million and bring Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres to Stamford Bridge.

Gyokeres has once again been in tremendous form for Sporting Lisbon this season and already has 23 goals to his name, with four of those coming in the Champions League against Defending champions Manchester City.

He has been heavily tipped with a move to the Premier League, with many believing that he could follow Ruben Amorim to Man United, while it has been claimed that Arsenal are very much interested as they seek to add a 30 goals a season striker to their attack.

The club should no doubt be very pleased with the output of their two strikers so far this season. Nicolas Jackson found the net again in superb fashion against Leicester City at the weekend.

However, according to Record Portugal, the Blues are prepared to pay up to £75m for the striker in January, and they go on to say that the idea would be for him to not actually join up with the squad until the end of the season.

Look, Gyokeres is a very good striker that is banging in the goals, but we doubt a move will happen in the January window as Nicolas Jackson deserves his chance to prove himself this season.

So if we are going to try and sign the player, we are sure it will be at the end of the season.

CHELSEA WILL GET RODRYGO CHANCE

Reports have claimed the likes of CHELSEA on full alert, as it has been claimed that Real Madrid are open to the idea of letting attacker Rodrygo leave the club in the coming transfer windows

Rodrygo joined Los Blancos from Santos in 2019, after Florentino Perez closed a deal worth $48.4 million (€45 million) for his services, and he has proven a success at the Bernabeu thus far, with integral roles played in two Champions League wins and three La Liga triumphs alongside compatriot Vinicius Jr.

But With Kylian Mbappe and Endrick’s arrivals to Carlo Ancelotti’s talented squad, Rodrygo will face more competition for minutes in the first XI and will reportedly seek a transfer to the Premier League if he loses prominence.

According to Fichajes with the situation that he may face with his role in the team, he is a player that could be sold in the coming transfer windows and the Spaniards would accept a bid of $161 million (€150 million) for Rodrygo and therefore more than treble its outlay on the talented forward.

The have been linked with a move for Rodrygo for the last few seasons, he is a player that they seemingly really like, but that massive asking price has been an issue for the Premier League giants that is for sure.
