Summary
Who's hyped for the Club World Cup then...anyone...anyone!?
Matt Davies-Adams has got Liam Twomey and Sam Parkin alongside him as we take a considered look back at the 2024-25 campaign following last week's Conference League victory out in Poland.
Then, we pivot to the upcoming CWC over in the USA - with another piece of silverware up for grabs. So - who actually cares?! And will the players be motivated to perform on this stage?
We've got the latest transfer news with Liam Delap all but official, Jadon Sancho NOT returning to Stamford Bridge next season - and reported interest in a number of eye-catching names to add to the collection...
Plus - Matt couldn't go without a quiz!
We're taking a short break but we'll be back after the first Club World Cup game against LAFC out in Atlanta. In the meantime, keep right across all the latest Blues news via The Athletic!
