Latest Chelsea Transfer News

Chelsea won their first major title in 1955 after winning the English League Championship. The list of Chelsea FC records, honours and achievements is a long one including winning every major club competition possible.

The Blues went through a rough period in the 1970s and dropped down to the Second Division. Chelsea were bought by Ken Bates for £1 in 1982 with the club close to relegation to the Third Division. Their fortunes changed in July 2003 when Bates sold Chelsea to Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich for £140 million. 

Abramovic invested heavily in the London club, buying top players and hiring Portuguese manager José Mourinho. Mourinho won back-to-back Premier League titles in 2004-05 and 2005-06, an FA Cup in 2007 and two League Cups in 2005 and 2007.

Much of Chelsea's success in that period was down to players such as Petr Cech, John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.

Chelsea Transfer Rumours


Chelsea were handed a transfer ban in February 2019 for breaching FIFA rulesregarding the international transfer and registration of players under the age of 18. The Blues will be unable to sign any players in the 2019 summer transfer window and 2020 winter transfer window. 

Expect Chelsea transfer rumours to go into overdrive when the ban ends. Abramovich will be looking to spend big and get his club back to the top of English and European football.

Chelsea broke their club-record transfer when they sold Eden Hazard to Real Madrid in a move worth up to £130m in July 2019. The two highest fees previously received for Chelsea players was Oscar to China Super League club Shanghai SIPG for €60m  in January 2017 and Diego Costa to Atlético Madrid for €66m in January 2018.
