Chelsea preparing for Enzo sale with major Camara bid
Nizaar Kinsella followed up by saying that Monaco had rejected a £43m+ offer from Crystal Palace earlier in the summer, implying the Blues have offered a lot more.

In other news…
Xabi Alonso played Cole Palmer for 90 minutes against Luton Town this week, which surprised a lot of people.
We have now had it confirmed by Alonso what the plans for young Mike Penders are, after he made his first start for Chelsea this evening.
The most awkward question post game was about Enzo Fernandez, who was left out of the squad entirely. Alonso did his best to dodge as much of it as possible.
