Chelsea's huge squad audited as transfer chaos reigns supreme

Straight Outta Cobham: The Athletic FC's Chelsea show

It's nearly here...

Matt Davies-Adams has got The Athletic's Liam Twomey and Luke Bosher alongside him as the final preparations for the 2024-25 Premier League season begin.

We start with the latest transfer news - including the surprise signing of Pedro Neto and potential shock return of João Félix - which could have a big knock on effect for Conor Gallagher's departure...

There are brief reflections from Sunday's 1-1 draw against Inter Milan in the final pre-season fixture of the summer.

Then - we've got the unenviable task of trying to audit the entire extraordinarily large squad.

Plus - your questions and thoughts as Enzo Maresca's side prepare to get their campaign underway!

We'll be back on Thursday with comprehensive build-up to Sunday's Premier League opener against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

HOST: Matt Davies-Adams

WITH: Liam Twomey & Luke Bosher

PRODUCER: Lucy Oliva
