Arsenal had to pay extra £1.3m for Aubameyang, which Chelsea demanded as price for Batshuayi's loan move

2 hours ago Standard

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang today completed his £56million transfer to Arsenal, which will trigger moves for Olivier Giroud and Michy Batshuayi on the final day of the transfer window.

The futures of the three strikers were all inter-connected and Batshuayi is now set to complete a loan move to Dortmund while Giroud will replace the Belgium international at Chelsea in an £18m move.

Batshuayi’s loan to Dortmund was key to the triple deal going ahead and sources in Germany claim that Arsenal had upped the original agreed price by another £1.3m in the past 24 hours.

That is the sum the Bundesliga club are suggesting Chelsea have demanded to take Batshuayi for the rest of the season, meaning they will effectively get him for nothing - apart from meeting his weekly salary.

10 key stats you need to know ahead of Bournemouth clash

36 minutes ago Opta via Sky Sports

• Chelsea have won nine of their last 10 matches against Bournemouth in all competitions, losing the other 1-0 in December 2015 at Stamford Bridge in their first Premier League meeting.

• Bournemouth have failed to score in three of their five previous visits to Stamford Bridge, scoring just twice and never more than once in a game.

• Bournemouth have yet to win a Premier League game played on a Wednesday (D1 L2).

• In contrast, Chelsea have lost only one of their last 20 Premier League matches on Wednesday (W11 D8).

• The Blues have kept four consecutive clean sheets in Premier League home games - their longest such streak since a run of five in January 2015.

• The Cherries are unbeaten in five Premier League matches, alternating between a draw (3) and victory (2) each time. Their longest unbeaten run in the competition was a run of six games (W3 D3) between November and December 2015.

• Excluding own goals, only Tottenham (26) have had more Premier League goals scored via English players than Bournemouth this season (17). Meanwhile, no side has had fewer goals from English players than Chelsea (1, level with Burnley).

• Ross Barkley has had a hand in five goals in four Premier League matches versus the Cherries (two goals, three assists).

• Eden Hazard has scored five goals in his last four Premier League appearances against Bournemouth.

• Willian has had a hand in eight goals in his last five Premier League starts (3 goals, 5 assists), compared to scoring none and providing just one assist in his first seven starts in the competition this season.

Chelsea refused to meet Dzeko's wage demands

an hour ago Tutto Mercato Web (via Express)

That’s according to Rai Sport journalist Ciro Venerato, who’s an expert on Serie A transfer business.
"For Dzeko to Chelsea, it’s all over. The boy refused to move to London, with a proposal that [Roman] Abramovich considered unacceptable.

"I think it's also a technical problem, because Conte could leave. This is an important risk."

Courtois on battle with United’s De Gea for Golden Glove: The most important is team result, individual trophy is secondary

4 hours ago Standard

With both back in action on Wednesday, the current tally stands at 14-12 in De Gea's favour and Courtois won't like it one bit.
"I won't search to do the eye-catching saves if I don't need to. I try to bring calm to the game for the other players. I play from the back, I handle crosses as well, which is an underrated skill I think.

"With my height/length, some of my saves may look easier than they are, that some other keepers wouldn't save them.

"I can catch shots with both hands and not have to make the wonderful eye-catching save for the camera (that others do). I don't care about that.

"In games like against Stoke and Brighton (at home) this season, I had to stay focused, perhaps making just one key save. I don't go looking for danger to make the big stop for people to talk about. I just try to do my job.

"Obviously you watch what the other keepers are doing. This is a competition and you look to see if they have kept a clean sheet or not.

"But winning the Golden Glove is a good thing to achieve as a team, not just for me. As a team, we had a poor start defensively and Manchester United were keeping a lot of clean sheets.

"If they had kept that up, it would have been hard to catch them. But we have defended well lately (now equal with United for least goals conceded on 16) but the most important thing is to win."

Main quotes from Conte and Howe prior to clash at Stamford Bridge

4 hours ago BBC

Antonio Conte: "Tomorrow we have to face not only Bournemouth but a difficult situation because the transfer window is closing and injuries problems. It is not easy to face this game. But no excuses or alibis. We have to face a team that has rested for 10 days.

"It is not the best situation to prepare for a game. But you must be prepared for these situations. It hasn’t been easy in this way."

Eddie Howe on Conte: "In many ways he's revolutionised the Premier League.

"I've got a lot of time for him. If you look at a lot of teams now, they're playing five at the back, three at the back, that's down to Antonio, and the revolution he's brought to the Premier League.

"Tactically he's made the league more interesting, and it's been fascinating to see his work delivered on the pitch."

Score predictions for Chelsea's encounter vs Bournemouth

3 hours ago BBC | Sky Sports | BetVictor | realsport101.com

BBC's Mark Lawrenson predicts 2-0:

"Eddie Howe's side are on a five-game unbeaten run in the league that includes their victory over Arsenal, but this is the most difficult game of that stretch of fixtures.

"I am not sure what is happening at Chelsea and what it means for the long-term job prospects of manager Antonio Conte, but it does not seem to be affecting their form too much."

Sky Sports' Paul Merson predicts 3-1:

"There's a lot of talk about Chelsea at the moment but things are not that bad. They've lost just one game out the last 16 in the league but they are getting pelters from all sides at the moment.

"It's only because Manchester City are doing so well that there's so much scrutiny on Chelsea. Antonio Conte's side would have a good season if it wasn't for what was going on at the Etihad. City have made all the other teams' seasons look pretty average really.

"However, I expect them to win this against a Bournemouth side in a relegation battle and lacking in confidence. Eddie Howe's side do have a go away from home but it won't help them here."

Former Premier League player Paul Ince predicts 3-0:

"Bournemouth have only had one win in their last five league games against Chelsea, so it wouldn’t be a good idea to go backing them here. In their FA Cup game against Newcastle, The Blues won convincingly and I’m going for another repeat of that result this week."

Michael Owen (BetVictor) predicts 2-0:

"Chelsea are, reportedly, looking to bring in an experienced striker before the end of the transfer window on Wednesday night and it is possible that Michy Batshuayi will be on his way out of the Bridge despite scoring twice against Newcastle in the FA Cup on Sunday. Eden Hazard has scored five times in his last four Premier League appearances against the Cherries and the Belgian may again be the scourge of Eddie Howe’s side at the Bridge."

Andy Dickinson of realsport101.com predicts 2-1:

"While Chelsea have looked to be slowly building a head of steam under Conte over the last three months, they’re still not the fluent side that graced the Premier League last season. Bournemouth’s inability to keep clean sheets should aid Chelsea’s cause in this game but the Cherries battling qualities and strong second-half showings of late could mean this match finishes much closer than many will be expecting."

Blues vs Cherries: match preview

2 hours ago Bleacher

After being dumped out of the Carabao Cup at the hands of Arsenal last week, Chelsea returned to winning ways against Newcastle United in the FA Cup on Sunday.

Marcos Alonso offered a timely reminder of what he can do during the 3-0 win, both in an attacking sense and defensively.

Though the Blues may have more obvious threats for Bournemouth to be concerned with, such as Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata or Pedro, Alonso's creativity and set-piece expertise are potent weapons.

Although it was ultimately a comfortable win for Chelsea over the Magpies, Newcastle did have some success early on amid a lacklustre start for the hosts at Stamford Bridge.

Newcastle's main problem was that they were unable to capitalise on their chances due to their lack of cutting edge up front, which has been the cause of many of their problems this season.

Bournemouth haven't been a great deal more prolific - they've scored three more goals in the Premier League—but if they can make the most of any positive spells they enjoy during the game, they could get something out of it.

The Cherries came from behind to beat Arsenal 2-1 on January 14, showing their ability to punish mistakes, even those made by superior opponents.

Chelsea will still be expecting to pick up three points from this game, but they will need to put in a strong showing if they are to do so.
