It has been a turbulent 24 hours for Chelsea.
Frank Lampard was fired Monday morning with Thomas Tuchel lined up as his replacement, raising questions about the Blues’ transfer policy going forward.
Just one day before his dismissal, Lampard provided assurances about Billy Gilmour’s future, but will the new Chelsea manager agree with his predecessor regarding the in-demand midfielder?
Meanwhile, recent reports from Germany claim that Chelsea have reached out to RB Leipzig star Dayot Upamecano on their goal of leading Liverpool and Manchester United to their long-standing defensive goal.
Finally, Danny Drinkwater’s loan at Kasimpasa reportedly got off to the worst possible start with a strange training injury.

Drinkwater’s unusual loan injury
