Here is your Chelsea morning digest for Monday, July 6.
Mount hailed by Arsenal great
Ian Wright has been delighted to see Mason Mount back in form since Chelsea’s return to action in the Premier League - and the Arsenal legend spotted something different about the England's international's role.
The young midfielder played a starring role in the Blues’ 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday as they bounced back from their midweek defeat at the hands of West Ham.
The win further boosted Frank Lampard’s side’s hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, and ensured they reclaimed their position in the top four after Manchester United’s win over Bournemouth earlier in the day.
But there was one player in particular who came in for some special praise from Arsenal legend Wright in his analysis on Match of the Day on Saturday night, with Mount once again catching the eye.
Rudiger sends Havertz transfer message
Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger admits he would like to see Bayer Leverkusen star Kai Havertz at Stamford Bridge.
The German midfielder is being heavily linked with a move to Chelsea this summer but it's said he could cost around £100m.
Nevertheless, Chelsea are being tipped to make a move, the Blues already showing they will be bold in the transfer market this summer with the signings of Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner.
And centre-back Rudiger has said he would like to see Chelsea add Germany teammate Havertz to that list.
Redknapp makes top-four prediction
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp has made a Premier League top-four prediction following wins for Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United on Saturday.
Arsenal pulled off an impressive 2-0 victory at Wolves but still remain eight points behind the top four with five games left, though they are six points off fifth if Man City's Champions League ban is upheld opening up that qualification place.
Meanwhile, Chelsea eased past Watford in a much-needed result for Frank Lampard's men after United's 5-2 hammering of Bournemouth.
And speaking after those results, Redknapp has made his prediction on who feels will be playing in the Champions League next season.
