Here is their Chelsea morning recap for Sunday May 10.
Pulisic reveals the “crazy” introduction of Chelsea teammates
Christian Pulisic has spoken of his first “crazy” day as a Chelsea player after his arrival from Borussia Dortmund last year.
The 21-year-old signed for £ 58 million after impressing in the Bundesliga.
And they immediately pushed him to Chelsea, flying alone to Japan to join the club’s preseason tour of East Asia.
“It was all pretty crazy what happened,” Pulisic told 13 & MEpodcast. “I had to fly straight from my summer vacation right after the Gold Cup. I had a week off and really had no summer. The team had already started the preseason in Japan, so I flew directly there and had to literally fly alone and then I met the team that had flown in from London.
“I had to go directly to the hotel and the next thing on the calendar was to go directly to training. I was tired, nervous and didn’t know what to think, but “I’m in Chelsea and this is crazy.”

“I got on the bus, they had also just arrived. Everyone is half asleep, I go and sit on the bus and nobody has noticed me. Nobody said anything. Maybe there was one or two guys who said “hello hello” and I thought what is going on here?
“Those first days of training I was nervous. You know how it is when you move to a new team. They are good guys off the field, but to earn that respect you have to show on the field that you have that ability, that’s how it is. “

And he was targeted by several other clubs during the January transfer window that saw him join Liverpool.
“Before making the decision to choose Liverpool, I examined all aspects of the clubs; the way of playing, the teammates, the future too ” Van Dijk said.
“The city, the fans, it all has to be a big part of joining a club.
“I think Liverpool at the time, when I made the decision, was the right decision and obviously reaching the Champions League final in my first six months was obviously a huge advantage and helped me a lot in my development, especially in what regards the experience. “
Napoli striker “top priority” for Chelsea
Dries Mertens of Napoli is a “top priority” for Chelsea in the summer transfer window, according to Het Laatste Nieuws.
The Belgian international has no contract in June and has yet to agree a new agreement with the Serie A club.
Napoli was optimistic that his contract would be prolonged, but the coronavirus crisis and the subsequent postponement of football have interrupted negotiations.
Mertens were believed to be on Chelsea’s radar in January, as the Blues sought a replacement for Olivier Giroud.
The 33-year-old, according to Het Laatste Nieuws, is “ready for a new challenge,” but Chelsea are expected to face the competition for their Inter and PSG signing.
