The 22-year-old centre back has been linked with a move away from Chelsea and it will be interesting to see if Everton can sign him before the transfer window closes. It is no secret that Carlo Ancelotti needs to add more defensive depth to his side and the Chelsea defender could prove to be an ideal addition. Tomori needs to play regularly in order to fulfil his potential as well and a loan move to Everton could be perfect for his development. It could be a deal that benefits all parties. Apparently, Lampard rates the young defender highly and he wants to keep Tomori ...
Manchester United are thought to be keen on signing the Chelsea midfielder N’golo Kante. According to reports (h/t Star), the Red Devils have made contact with the midfielder’s representatives already. It will be interesting to see if they can convince Chelsea to sell the top class midfielder before the window closes.

According to The Athletic, Chelsea retain the ownership of Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho’s name until 2025 having trademarked it 15 years ago. The Portuguese was deemed so marketable upon his arrival at Stamford Bridge from Porto that the Blues took the initiative in order to boost the sales of merchandise.

As a result, while Tottenham club shop sells souvenirs like key rings and mugs that have pictures of Son Heung-min, Harry Kane and Dele Alli on them, a Tanguy Ndombele bobblehead and a Christian Eriksen fridge magnet, there is none that bears any semblance of Mourinho. Chelsea’s trademark of the Spurs boss’ name is filed under five separate classes of goods, ranging from aftershave and lipstick...
