Had a chat with Donyell Malen in Louisville on Saturday - he says he needs no external motivation or confidence boosts to make his mark at #AVFC next season. "A few things were difficult [after signing] but I handled it. Hopefully this season I can help the team and play more."

🇳🇱

Luuk de Jong has joined FC Porto on a free transfer. After leaving PSV Eindhoven, the striker goes for a Portuguese adventure.

🚨🔵 Chelsea always had the exits as priority before getting Xavi Simons deal done, while talks with RB Leipzig remain advanced. Broja, João Félix, Ugochukwu, Dewsbury-Hall, Guiu (loan), more to follow soon as direction is clear. Xavi made clear to Leipzig that he wants #CFC.

Chelsea keep working on both Alejandro Garnacho and Xavi Simons deals. 🔵🔛

Let’s give this a positive twist. The way Veerman is now, he’s useless for the national team because his tempo and physicality aren’t at the level we demand. So right now we’re looking at a player who doesn’t fit our goals. However, if he ends up in the Premier League and ↓

🚨🔵 Negotiations between Chelsea and RB Leipzig for Xavi Simons continue. Chelsea want Nkunku and Jackson to leave in order to make room for Xavi and Garnacho. Nkunku has been discussed as option with Leipzig, same as Tyrique George. 🎥 youtu.be/x33Nrh4jC98
