"Not part of my project!" Mauricio Pochettino tells Chelsea target, ends £40M transfer interest.

 The Blues have backed down from a potential deal for the Inter Milan goalkeeper as Mauricio Pochettino does not see him as part of his long-term plans. 

Chelsea will no longer chase Inter goalkeeper Andre Onana in the summer, which makes Manchester United favourites to land him.

Chelsea are no longer interested in Onana and Man Utd are favourites to sign the Inter Milan goalkeeper.

The Blues are in search of a goalkeeper, with Edouard Mendy set to leave the club in the summer. They had shown interest in the in-form Inter custodian since April but have now decided against signing him. This has put Manchester United in pole position now to sign the goalkeeper, according to Evening Standard.

 The Red Devils are currently in talks with David De Gea over a contract extension but if nothing materialises, the Spaniard could make a move to Saudi Arabia. The club will then hope to rope in Onana, who is likely to cost £50m.

 With Onana out of the picture, Mauricio Pochettino's side currently have three other goalkeepers on their shortlist, namely Giorgi Mamardashvili from Valencia, Dortmund’s Gregor Kobel and Brentford’s David Raya. Mamardashvili, until now, was the club's second choice after the Inter star.

Per reports, Kepa Arrizabalaga is believed to be part of Mauricio Pochettino's plans and the Spaniard will assume the no.1 role at Stamford Bridge next season. 

It remains to be seen who Chelsea will sign as their next goalkeeper.

Magical display and goal from Nicolas Jackson that shows he's Chelsea's next Didier Drogba.

Image
 Nicolas Jackson was on target for the Blues in their 4-1 trashing of Burnley yesterday.  Raheem Sterling takes the ball from midfield and turns around on his marker to leave him biting dust. Once in the final third he finds Cole Palmer in the box, who calmly lays it to Nicolas Jackson right in front of goal. The striker does very well in controlling the ball, adjusting his footing, and striking it for Chelsea’s fourth goal against Burnley. Comparisons have been made with Nicolas Jackson's stats for the Blues and that of Legend, Didier Drogba. Jackson's first goal for the club was a Drogba-esque one.  However, this performance and display from Jackson vs Burnley will convince you that he's just Chelsea's next hit striker after Didier Drogba: VIDEO: Chelsea may have just found their next Didier Drogba in Nicolas Jackson.

Chelsea have renewed their interest in Everton midfielder Amadou Onana, according to reports. The Blues were heavily linked with a move for the Belgian in January but a deal never came to fruition. Onana, who only signed for Everton last summer, was one of the Toffees' best players in the 2022/23 season and played a starring role in sustaining their Premier League status. After an impressive first half of the season in England, there was dialogue between Chelsea and the 21-year-old's entourage but he remained at Goodison Park and Enzo Fernandez was signed instead. Now, with Mauricio Pochettino seeking a new midfielder to bolster his squad ahead of next season, it has been reported that the Blues have revived their interest in the former Lille midfielder...
