Chelsea told to "get rid" of Timo Werner and sign Romelu Lukaku's favourite old team-mate

Chelsea reportedly nearing completion.The American was in the stands as the Blues drew 1-1 with Leicester City on Thursday (May 19) evening, just as he had been for the home match with Wolves earlier in the month. He wasn't the only famous face in attendance, with WWE legend John Cena also watching on.They weren't treated to a home win with James Maddison's early opener for the visitors cancelled out by Marcos Alonso's 33rd minute strike to leave it honours even in the penultimate game of the season.

Chelsea fans were absolutely flabbergasted by Christian Pulisic after the American produced one of the misses of the season against Leicester City on Thursday night.In an almost a carbon-copy of his performance against Liverpool in the FA Cup final on Saturday, the 23-year-old looked lively but couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo to continue his miserable week in front of goal on what was his 50th start for the club.After creating a pocket of space in the box, Romelu Lukaku received the ball from Reece James before cutting it across goal for Pulisic who, after skipping away from his marker, seemed to have a simple tap-in from six-yards.But the winger took his eye off the ball at the vital moment and failed to get a clean connection, slicing the shot well wide of the post as a very relieved Kasper Schmeichel counted his lucky stars.The disbelief on the faces of both Pulisic and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel painted one heck of an emotive picture, and their reactions were more than echoed on social media."Miss of the season contender by Pulisic," one supporter tweeted."That Pulisic miss doesn't surprise me.

Thomas Tuchel’s side have a much superior goal difference, meaning third place is all but assured.Here are two things Tuchel got right, and three he got wrong at Stamford Bridge.All eyes were on Romelu Lukaku, but it was Chelsea’s left wing-back Alonso who found the equaliser after Maddison’s opener, getting on the end of an inch-perfect pass from James. For a defender, Alonso has a very handy record in front of goal – especially from volleys, for which he has become somewhat of an expert.

Chelsea fans have been left in stitches after spotting Kai Havertz's new barnet, which looks surprisingly similar to that of team-mate Mason Mount.The silky German was spotted with the adopted hairstyle on social media after injured defender Ben Chilwell posted a photo of the duo on his Instagram.

Chelsea are reportedly looking to sign Eintracht Frankfurt's Luka Hyrylainen once their current ban is lifted.The 17-year-old is being watched by a number of Europe's top sides, and Chelsea are reportedly ready to swoop once their sanctions have been lifted, and they are free to trade again.

Liverpool ensured the Premier League title race went to the final day of the season with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Southampton on Tuesday night.Jurgen Klopp’s side travelled to the south coast knowing they had to win to remain in with a chance of pipping Manchester City to the title and they left with the three points they needed. They had to do it the hard way, with Southampton taking an early lead through Nathan Redmond’s deflected effort on the counter-attack after VAR decided not to look at a possible foul by Lyanco in the build-up.Liverpool hit back from Takumi Minamino’s powerful effort at the near post and, after some sustained pressure, took the lead midway through the second half when Joel Matip’s looping header found its way in from a corner.
