New Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca is set to hand one youngster the chance to impress in west London, but the club have their heart set on selling.

Maresca confirmed as Chelsea manager with plans in motion

Earlier this week, Maresca was officially unveiled as Chelsea's head coach, following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino who left by mutual consent.

ByEmilio Galantini Jun 4, 2024

The Italian arrives with a growing reputation, which has been helped by his history working under Pep Guardiola as an assistant at Man City. Maresca guided Leicester City to the Championship title in his first season away from Eastlands, which turned the heads of Chelsea chiefs.

Maresca is now setting plans in motion to improve the Chelsea squad after making the move to Stamford Bridge and is also planning to make Cole Palmer the vocal point of his attack (John Percy).

He'll already have his favoured players and formation firmly in mind, such is his reputation as a meticulous tactician. Certain members of the squad face uncertain futures as well, but it will be interesting to see how Maresca looks to introduce Chelsea's youngster players.

The Cobham academy has produced an array of talents in recent years, and Chelsea's youth development system is arguably one of the best in England. Attacking midfielder Omari Hutchinson could certainly be added to that list, with TEAMtalk sharing an update on his future.

Hutchinson set for Maresca chance but Chelsea want sale

As per their information, Maresca is set to hand young Hutchinson a chance to impress at Chelsea in pre-season. However, club chiefs are practically dead-set on selling the player, as they believe he could accumulate £30 million.

The Englishman, speaking to Sky Sports in an interview, revealed how futsal developed him into an entertaining flair player.

"I like to entertain the crowd," said Hutchinson on his playing style.

"When I was a kid I loved watching the likes of Neymar, Ronaldinho, Romario, Messi and Coutinho on YouTube. And always in different positions because I used to play everywhere across the front three.

"Playing futsal was probably when I was happiest. It was so fun. I was always learning new tricks, learning how to get out of tight situations, receiving the ball in different ways – with the sole, either side of my foot, or doing flip-flaps.

"It helped me massively with my technique. I think a lot of kids should play it. It will help their game as they get older."

The 20-year-old, who spent last season on a temporary spell at Ipswich and helped Kieran McKenna's side secure promotion to the Premier League, made 44 Championship appearances at Portman Road. Just under half came as full starts, with Hutchinson bagging 10 goals and five assists in the process.

Phil Parkinson has revealed that Birmingham “outbidded” Wrexham for summer transfer targets, with the Red Dragons unable to compete with the Blues.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  They have, however, been blown out of the water when it comes to spending by third tier rivals Birmingham – with their record £15 million ($20m) signing, Jay Stansfield, bagging a brace for the Blues in their 3-1 ‘Hollywood derby’ win over Wrexham at St Andrew’s.

• WHAT PARKINSON SAID

  Parkinson has told reporters of trying to operate on a level playing field with clubs that boast similar ambition to Wrexham: “Every player we were going for, they were outbidding us or offering more wages; it was almost 'let them sign who they want and everyone else will look for what else is out there'. No-one can compete in this division in terms of their spending and it would have been madness for us. If I was in their position, you’d get the best possible players you can and that’s what they’ve done. But as much as we haven’t got carried away with our start, you can’t get too carried away with Birmingham. With the options they’ve got, they will take some beating. It was a good performance by them, but there is a lot of football to be played.”

  DID YOU KNOW?

  Parkinson added on seeing his side surrender an early lead in the West Midlands against a team that is expected to run away with the League One title: “Any defeat is tough to take, but we have to be realistic in terms of where we’ve come from. At the start of the season after six games – and the first three away games at Bolton, Peterborough and Birmingham – and to have only been beaten once we would have taken it. They have spent more money than any team outside of the Premier League, and have good quality players, but there are areas to improve. It’s about responding and if we come up against that situation again, when we’re under pressure, can we do better?”

Aston Villa have not started their transfer business yet, but it is clear Unai Emery is aiming to bolster his squad significantly ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, which will feature Champions League football.

As a result, he's been looking at bringing in some potentially exciting names to Villa Park, with one out-favour star at a top-four club now linked with a move to the Midlands.

Aston Villa transfer news

According to talkSPORT, Villa are showing an interest in Arsenal gem Emile Smith Rowe ahead of the summer transfer window.

They aren’t the only club interested, however, as Fulham and Serie A side Napoli are also eyeing up a swoop for the attacking midfielder.

Emery may have to move a player or two on this summer in order to spend money on the likes of Smtih Rowe however, which means a deal hinges on external factors.

In October 2023, the Gunners placed a £60m valuation on the Englishman, yet with two years left on his contract, might Emery chance his luck with a lower offer than this?

The club have enjoyed plenty of success signing players from other Premier League clubs throughout the years and Smith Rowe could be the latest in a line of wonderful signings, following in the footsteps of Douglas Luiz.

What Emile Smith Rowe could bring to Aston Villa

Luiz moved to the Midlands from Manchester City in the summer of 2019 and has since made over 200 competitive appearances for the club while attracting interest from the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona, placing a staggering £85m price tag on his head.

He has gone from strength to strength, particularly last season when the Brazilian scored ten and assisted ten in all competitions.

It clearly shows that recruiting players who don’t appear to have much of a future at bigger Premier League clubs is the way forward and Smith Rowe could perhaps be the next Luiz for Emery this summer.

Since making his debut during the 2018/19 season, the 23-year-old has gone on to make 115 appearances for the Gunners, yet recent years have seen his progress stall.

After ten goals and two assists during the 2021/22 league campaign, Smith Rowe missed 21 matches during the following campaign due to groin surgery and this has stalled his progress.

Indeed, the youngster has played only 33 times since the start of the 2022/23 season, slipping down the pecking order due to the form of others in the squad.

Perhaps a fresh start could reignite his career? At Villa, he could slot into the starting XI fairly easily. Hailed as a “difference maker” by former Arsenal cult hero Mesut Özil, it is clear the Englishman has the talent, but he now needs a place in which to display it on a regular basis.

Despite making only 13 league appearances during 2023/24, the attacking midfielder succeeded with 50% of his dribble attempts, while also making 0.3 key passes, grabbing one assist and averaging 1.2 shots per game. Of course, these may not be the finest statistics in the world, but considering he averaged just 28 minutes per match, his dribbling and shots per match certainly aren't too bad.

Emery gave him his debut at the Emirates six years ago, so he knows exactly how Smith Rowe works, notably praising him after one performance in Europe.

"He is taking confidence, he is taking responsibility and also I think his performance in 90 minutes is very good," stated the Spaniard. "He is a good example for the other young players. We think they can help us but they need the confidence of playing matches, not only working with us in the training sessions."

This prior relationship could perhaps give Villa a major advantage in their chase for the 23-year-old, that’s for sure.

Chelsea are looking to sign a European winger who has been compared to Borussia Dortmund legend, Marco Reus.

Chelsea transfer rumours

It has been a rather disappointing 2023/24 season for the Blues so far. They missed out on winning the League Cup to a weak Liverpool side back in February and despite spending around £500m in the last two transfer windows, they are once again set to go another campaign without Champions League football – currently sitting 7th in the Premier League.

The Blues are on course to secure a place in the Europa League or Europa Conference League, but this is not the standard Chelsea have become accustomed to over the years and could well mean Todd Boehly whips out his wallet once again this summer, with a number of names already being tipped to make the move to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have reportedly displayed interest in signing Luis Guilherme from Palmeiras. There has also been a suggestion this week that Chelsea could make an offer to sign £52m-rated Xavi Simons from Paris-Saint Germain this summer.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are said to be one of the English clubs lining up a summer swoop to sign Crystal Palace attacking midfielder, Michael Olise. There have also been reports that the Blues could offer up Raheem Sterling as part of a potential deal to land Olise.

With both Simons and Olise linked with a move to west London, it does appear as though Chelsea are keen to bring in further attacking reinforcements this summer. And now, a fresh name from outside of England is said to be of interest to the Blues.

Chelsea eye move for winger compared to Marco Reus

According to CaughtOffside, Chelsea have checked on the situation of Stuttgart’s 26-year-old German winger, Chris Fuhrich. The report adds that Fuhrich has a release clause of just over £25m, which may not be an issue for the big-spending Londoners.

However, it is understood that the winger, who has been compared to Marco Reus, sees it as a great advantage that Stuttgart will play in the Champions League next season, something that Chelsea will not be able to do.

German giants Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen are also keeping tabs on Fuhrich, who has scored eight and assisted seven in 32 Bundesliga games so far this term.

Amid his impressive 2023/24 campaign, the 26-year-old has earned his first call-up to the German national team and high praise from a number of people. Dortmund coach Edin Terzic was asked about Fuhrich and his qualities earlier this season, to which he responded: "I've known Chris for a long time. We brought him to Dortmund's U16 back then. He was a little bit weak physically, but his qualities on the ball were always outstanding."

Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeneß was also quick to highlight the versatility Fuhrich offers to a team: "Whether he's on the left or on the right, or in a one-on-one in the middle, he is very difficult to defend against. He has speed, is technically good and has good timing."

As a result, should Chelsea indeed manage to pull off a transfer for Fuhrich, he could be able to play all across the front line for them.

Mauricio Pochettino has been warned against trying to follow Manchester City’s blueprint with the USMNT, as Pep Guardiola “has ruined football”.

Argentine coach handed international postPredecessor tried to be too expansiveUrged to replicate model used at TottenhamFollow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱WHAT HAPPENED?

That is the opinion of former United States international Tim Howard – who spent time in the Premier League as a player with Manchester United and Everton. He is now keeping a close eye on international matters as ex-Tottenham, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain boss Pochettino prepares to take the USMNT reins.

AdvertisementGettyTHE BIGGER PICTURE

He is inheriting a squad that flopped at the 2024 Copa America under Gregg Berhalter, with a disappointing showing on home soil put in at that event. There is plenty of potential at Pochettino’s disposal – including the likes of Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Gio Reyna – but he needs to find a way of bringing the best out of an exciting generation.

WHAT HOWARD SAID

Howard has urged Pochettino to avoid being lured into a ‘tiki taka’ trap, telling the podcast: “What Gregg Berhalter did was — you look back at my generation, we were just a bunch of tough, rugged guys. We had a couple of match-winners. He got this team to believe they could compete and be expansive and play well in the forward areas. I think what happened was in all ways, Pep Guardiola has ruined football. Pep Guardiola has taught everybody that they can play expansive football. They can’t. Not everybody can do it, three teams in the world can do it really well.”

GettyDID YOU KNOW?

Instead of following Guardiola’s lead, Howard wants to see the USMNT class of 2024 cut from the same cloth as Pochettino’s Spurs team that made the Champions League final in 2019. The legendary former goalkeeper added: “I think you have to be resolute at times. And when you look at Pochettino's best teams, on his Tottenham teams it was two banks of four plus two at the top. And then when they broke, they broke with four players. Ultimately, they were rock-solid defensively, or at least tried to be. And so I think if [Pochettino] starts to instil that resoluteness defensively, the [USMNT] has enough players in the forward areas where they can be dangerous.”

After years in the wilderness of midtable mediocrity, Arsenal are back near the top of English football, and while they may not lift the title this season, it's starting to feel like an inevitability.

Mikel Arteta has taken a team that looked hopeless and lost in December 2019 to one that can genuinely take on any team in Europe, as demonstrated by their clashes with last season's treble-winners Manchester City this year.

The Spaniard's tactics and philosophy have been a significant reason behind the club's resurgence in the last few years, but another vital component has been his talented identification and the signings made under his watch.

However, while there have been plenty of successes, like Martin Odegaard, Gabriel, and Declan Rice, there have also been a few duds. One in particular, a player who is only worth twice as much as Jorginho, should be moved on in the summer before his value further craters.

Fabio Vieira's Arsenal career

The player in question is Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira, who joined Arteta's Arsenal in June 2022 for a fairly hefty fee of around £34m off the back of an impressive season for Porto in his home country.

That year, the Santa Maria da Feira-born gem scored seven goals and provided 16 assists in 39 appearances – 21 of which were starts – meaning he averaged a goal involvement every 1.6 games, so there was clearly a talented player there.

However, in his first campaign with the Gunners, the 23-year-old ace managed a fairly paltry return of just two goals and six assists in 33 appearances, but given it was his first season in English football, most fans and pundits gave him the benefit of the doubt.

Unfortunately, his second year at the Emirates has been a disaster.

So far, the 5 foot 7 midfielder has made just three starts and 13 substitute appearances for the north Londoners in 23/24, in which he has scored one goal, provided three assists, received one red card, and missed 20 games through injuries.

Vieira's previous three seasons
Season	21/22	22/23	23/24
Appearances	39	33	16
Goals	7	2	1
Assists	16	6	3
Goal Involvements per Match	0.58	0.24	0.25
All Stats via Transfermarkt

There is always a strong chance that he could well come good in his third season with the club, but based on his lacklustre performances and plunging valuation, it might just be time for the club to cash in and move on – following reports back in January that he was attracting interest from afar.

Fabio Vieira's valuation in 2024

According to the CIES Football Observatory, Vieira is currently worth just €10m, which is about £9m, or a shocking £25m less than the Gunners paid for him just two years ago.

His new valuation also means he's now the second least valuable player among those who joined the club in the 22/23 season who are present today.

The only player from that group worth less than the Portuguese ace is former Chelsea star Jorginho, who, by all accounts, has been a brilliant signing for the Gunners.

Valuations of Arsenal's 2022/23 signings
Place	Player	Valuations	Original Fee	Position
1	Gabriel Jesus	€80m (£69m)	£45m	LW/ST
2	Leandro Trossard	€40m (£34m)	£27m	LW/ST
3	Jakub Kiwior	€30m (£26m)	£20m	LB/CB
4	Oleksandr Zinchenko	€20m (£17m)	£32m	LB
5	Fabio Vieira	€10m (£9m)	£34m	AM/RW/LW
6	Jorginho	€5m (£4m)	£12m	DM/CM
All Valuations via the CIES Football Observatory

The Italian international is currently valued at just €5m – £4m – by the CIES Football Observatory. However, this low figure is almost certainly due to his age and lack of any real resale value as a result, as the Imbituba-born veteran has been excellent when it comes to performances.

For example, this season, he won the Man of the Match awards against Liverpool and Newcastle United and has been such an integral part of Arteta's squad that he just signed a brand-new deal that is set to keep him in N5 past the July end date of his previous contract.

Ultimately, with Vieira having a valuation just two times higher than that of a 32-year-old Jorginho and looking unremarkable for the two seasons he's been at the club, it might be time for Arsenal to cut their losses and move him on before he ends up being worth less than the Italian.

If Northamptonshire’s policy of using the Bob Willis Trophy as a development competition is to be deemed a success, they need more stories like this second day at Wantage Road when Charlie Thurston made 115, his maiden century for the club, and Ben Curran 82 as they responded to Glamorgan’s 259 with 288 for 5.Thurston and Curran have limited top-level experience but have been handed extended opportunities this season and both have looked comfortable in their first XI appearances but were in need of scores to underline their potential.So it would have been to the relief of the pair and the club – taking some flak for their results despite their stated intentions – that both delivered. They shared a second-wicket partnership of 176 as Northamptonshire finally realised runs from their top order.Thurston has been on the fringes at Northamptonshire for a few years after making a century against them for Loughborough MCCU in 2017, also at Wantage Road. He was handed county debuts in all three formats in 2018 but never a proper chance to launch his career.This has been his opportunity. He made 96 in the second innings at Edgbaston in the first match of the Bob Willis Trophy, part of a tremendous rearguard that saved the game from a helpless position.And this should have been an even closer near-miss if Kieran Bull had held a regulation chance at slip off Tim van der Gugten with Thurston on 99. Next ball he worked a single to long leg and raised his century in 145 balls with 10 fours and a six.He was very fluent and soon built on his overnight 30. He played a beautiful back-foot punch to bring the 100 up, then flicked van der Gugten for two to reach fifty in 67 balls with six fours. He then uppercut Marchant de Lange over point for six to take the stand into three-figures.But with his career-best in sight after lunch, he dragged Callum Taylor – who enjoyed a dream first-class debut with a whirlwind century on day one – into his stumps trying to cut a ball from the offspinner round the wicket that was too tight to do so.Curran was also impressive. Initially more watchful than Thurston, he took an hour to find his first boundary of the day. He edged de Lange over the slips cordon before hooking him for four over square leg. He cut the same bowler for his seventh four to reach fifty in 112 balls, his second of the season and seventh of his 17-match career.Curran had one moment of fortune as he reverse-swept Bull in his first over and edged to first slip, only to find the fielder had moved away trying to anticipate where the ball might have gone had Curran made his intended contact.But he enjoyed no luck three overs after lunch as a thick outside edge from van der Gugten was spectacularly held by Nick Selman diving one-handed to his left at second slip. It left Curran one short of his first-class best made against Sussex in September 2018 in his fifth appearance. This was his 12th game since.The partnership broken, Northamptonshire wobbled from 202 for 1 to 234 for 4 as Luke Procter drove van der Gugten lazily to mid-off to fall for just 3 and the hosts were made to wait by the rain to take the lead.Play resumed at 5.10pm and Rob Keogh got in a mess trying to defend Dan Douthwaite and was bowled for 20 but Ricardo Vasconcelos, down the order this week with him both keeping wicket and captaining the side in place of the rested Adam Rossington, ensured Northamptonshire went to the close in a strong position.

Football FanCast brings you the latest Everton transfer round-up.

Despite securing their Premier League survival with time to spare last season, the Toffees have been hamstrung financially due to PSR concerns. But with a new stadium on the horizon, it is imperative their final season at Goodison Park is another that sees them retain their top-flight status.

Here are the latest transfer rumours involving Everton, along with a list of the players linked with them since the end of the season.

Max Lowe: With Sheffield United set to allow Max Lowe to leave on a free this summer, Everton could be one of the clubs looking to swoop for the versatile full-back, who can also play in defensive midfield. Unfortunately, Everton have some competition for his signature, so may have to persuade Lowe to join the Toffees.

Bobby De Cordova-Reid: Reports have claimed that Everton could make a move for Fulham's Bobby De Cordova-Reid after contract talks in west London stalled. This is another potential free transfer for Sean Dyche, but once again, they will not be alone in their interest in the forward.

Jake O'Brien: Having starred for Lyon in Ligue 1 last term, Jake O'Brien has apparently gained some admirers from the blue half of Merseyside, with Everton seeking a bargain deal to bolster their defence. Everton are said to be monitoring the player ahead of a potential bid in the coming months.

Jack Harrison: Reports suggest that Everton have made the signing of Harrison a priority this summer. It is thought that a second loan deal from Leeds United could be possible given the Whites' failure to secure promotion last season.

Armando Broja: Everton are in a congested race for Armando Broja this summer, according to reports. One potential hurdle could be his reported price tag, with Chelsea thought to be open to a sale for £20m.

Transfers out

Amadou Onana: Everton could be forced into an early sale this summer, with reports claiming Amadou Onana could be sold for £50m before the end of the month in order to comply with PSR regulations. Several clubs are thought to be interested in the Belgian, so the Toffees shouldn't be short of offers this summer.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin: Everton are braced for offers for Dominic Calvert-Lewin this summer, thought reports in the past week have suggested they have made moves to extend his stay at Goodison Park. Newcastle United have been among those to show their interest in the striker, but it appears the club have opened talks over a new deal.

Jarrad Branthwaite: Defender Jarrad Branthwaite is looking like one of the more in-demand players this summer, and Premier League duo Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United have been credited with an interest. However, it appears a concrete approach has yet to surface.

  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  The Sunday showdown was a feisty affair that saw Arsenal reduced to 10 men when Leandro Trossard was sent off in the first half, while Gabriel went on to declare the game "a war", and ex-Manchester United defender Brown believes Haaland had been affected by the Brazilian defender earlier in the game.

• WHAT WES BROWN SAID

  He told : "I think Gabriel rattled Erling Haaland a little bit the other day. You could see there were a few little squabbles between the pair, and I think that means that Haaland knew that he was having a tough game against Gabriel, even though he scored. He’d probably lap it up if he was having a good game so you can tell that he must have got to him throughout the match.

  "It can be easy to lose your head a bit at times. It was a big game between the two best sides in the league and I reckon it’ll be those two at the top again. Manchester City scored that late goal but they’ll still be disappointed with drawing the game – it was a chance for them to pull away a little bit. You could see it was a very physical game so it’s no surprise things spilled over a little bit between the players."
