Chelsea may have struggled in the Premier League this term, but their domestic cup form has perhaps given Mauricio Pochettino some breathing space in the hotseat.
A run to the final of the EFL Cup saw the Stamford Bridge side lose to Liverpool, but they still have a chance to secure FA Cup success, although they will need to defeat Manchester City in the semi-final at Wembley next month.
A win there could spearhead their charge for a first trophy since 2021, and it would likely mean Pochettino starts the 2024/25 campaign still in the dugout.
Collectively, the club have failed to generate a consistent run of results together in order to challenge for the European places in the league table, becoming more of a cup team.
Several players have sparkled, however. Cole Palmer has been in wonderful form since making the move from Manchester to London last summer. While Christopher Nkunku – despite missing the first few months of the season – is another player who, when fit, should be one of the first names on the team sheet.
Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku's season in numbers
Palmer making the move south was certainly a surprising one. Under Pep Guardiola, he had won the treble with the club and looked set to become the next big talent to break through at the Etihad.
An offer of £40m from Chelsea scuppered those plans, however, yet he has become one of Pochettino’s key players this season.
The Englishman has registered 28 goal contributions in all competitions this season for the Blues – 16 goals and 12 assists, and there is no doubt they would be at an ever lower ebb if it was not for his goals.

Palmer also ranks first among the squad for shots per game (2.4) in the top flight, along with ranking first for big chances created (nine), key passes per game (1.5) and second for successful dribbles per game (1.3). Their faint chances of glory in the FA Cup surely rest with the talented youngster.
While Palmer’s heroics have been one of the few positive aspects of Chelsea’s season, Nkunku has also shown his qualities, albeit not on the same sort of level as Palmer.
Prior to the 2023/24 campaign, the Frenchman suffered a serious knee injury and was ruled out for the next few months, putting a dampener on the start of their season.
This has limited him to just ten appearances, although the attacking midfielder has netted twice during those games. His potential is massive, however, and making him the focal point could see Pochettino’s side vastly improve next term.
His brief appearances in the Blue shirt have been solid and this hopefully points to a successful future in London for the former RB Leipzig starlet.
Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku’s market value
Not only does Pochettino possess two of the finest attacking talents in the land, but their respective market values will only continue to soar as time goes on.
Palmer is currently valued at €32.2m (£27.6m) while Nkunku’s market value is sitting at €48.9m (£41.9m), as per Football Transfers.
Chelsea have had plenty of players in the past whose valuations have been higher than both Palmer's and Nkunku's, yet one former legend's transfer fee when he joined the club would eclipse both of their valuations currently – Didier Drogba.
What Didier Drogba would be worth in 2024 money
Going by football inflation, Drogba’s £24m move to sign for Chelsea in 2004 is worth a lot more two decades on.
Indeed, according to Totally Money – who have adjusted for inflation over the years – Drogba’s initial transfer fee 20 years ago would now be worth an eye-watering £124.3m if the move was to occur in the current day.
This is far more than Palmer and Nkunku put together and would make him one of Chelsea’s most expensive signings of all time, judging by inflation.
For what he achieved at Stamford Bridge, many supporters would say he was certainly worth it.
Didier Drogba’s Chelsea statistics
José Mourinho first clapped eyes on Drogba during a Champions League clash between Porto and Marseille during the 2003/04 season.
The Portuguese could not afford the Ivorian back then, but once joining Chelsea, Roman Abramovich provided him with plenty of funds to build the team that he so desired.
In three full seasons under Mourinho, Drogba netted 65 goals, winning the Premier League twice, plus both domestic cups and it looked like a match made in heaven.
Despite the former Porto boss being sacked at the start of the 2007/08 season, Drogba wasn’t slowing down anytime soon. Another 29 goals followed until the start of Carlo Ancelotti’s reign, and he really kicked on under the Italian.
The striker scored 50 goals in just two seasons under Ancelotti, using his brute strength to steamroll through opposition defences with ease, but it wasn’t until the last match of his first spell for the club that he achieved immortality.
With Chelsea trailing Bayern Munich in the 2012 Champions League final, Drogba stepped up to score the equaliser which took the game to extra time.
Chelsea were bled dry by Sarri flop who earned more than Palmer & Gallagher
The gifted international just couldn’t make it work in West London.
ByJack Salveson Holmes Mar 22, 2024
Content? Not a chance. The Ivorian forward then not only summoned the courage to take the final penalty kick in the resulting shoot-out, but he dispatched it with ease, thus securing the Blues their first-ever European title.
A final fling with the club during the 2014/15 season saw him add another Premier League title and League Cup, to his collection, before bowing out of Stamford Bridge a hero.
Pochettino could certainly make do with the services of a peak Drogba alongside the likes of Palmer and Nkunku, as he would complement the youngsters fairly well.
Judging by his value in 2024, Chelsea struck gold on the player who went on to terrorise many Premier League defences during his spell in London, emerging as a proper legend in the process.
164 goals in 381 appearances does not even tell half the story of his stint at the Blues, and they may never see his like again gracing the turf at Stamford Bridge.
In less than two months, Ange Postecoglou will know the fate of his maiden campaign at the helm of Tottenham Hotspur, with the club fighting for Champions League qualification in the Premier League.
Failing to clinch top four would not be the be-all and end-all for this rebuilding Spurs side, but it would certainly be a promising indicator of the new era and direction headed in. After the dismality of the 2022/23 campaign and Harry Kane's consequent sale to Bayern Munich, it could be argued that the mere challenge at the forefront of the table has surpassed early expectations.
Still, Tottenham are in this position and thus a new forecast has been mapped out; if the fifth-placed side are to prevail against Aston Villa above them (three points ahead with a game in hand), blips like the recent 3-0 thrashing at Fulham must be avoided.

Micky van de Ven was out injured for that one, underscoring his importance in this exciting Tottenham team once again.
Why Spurs signed Micky van de Ven
It could be said that Tottenham's spiral from form throughout November and December was a by-product of Van de Ven's injury, hamstrung in a calamitous evening clash against Chelsea that ended an emphatic unbeaten start to the term.
James Maddison, fellow influential summer signing, was also sent to the sidelines with an ankle injury that day, and while the England international is an elite playmaker, it could be argued that Van de Ven was tasked with the weightier role after Tottenham's abject defensive displays last year.
63 goals conceded during the 2022/23 season was a concession rate higher than all in the Premier League barring the relegated trio and newly-promoted survivors Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest.
Van de Ven had impressed in Germany with Wolfsburg and while he is young, still only 22 years old, the Dutchman has proved to be a factory-built fit for Premier League football, blending athleticism and blistering speed with sharp defensive skills that bespeak his quality as a high-class player.
As per FBref, Van de Ven ranks among the top 3% of centre-backs across Europe's top five leagues over the past year for pass completion, the top 1% for successful take-ons and the top 14% for progressive carries per 90.
His agility and loose-limbed grace belies his hulking 6 foot 4 frame; his pinpoint passing keeps Postecoglou's system purring, steadily loosing balls toward his forward-positioned peers.
Micky van de Ven for Tottenham.
In the Premier League, the left-footed Van de Ven has completed 95% of his passes, averaging 1.7 tackles, 5.8 ball recoveries, 2.8 clearances and 0.6 dribbles per game, also succeeding with 66% of his ground duels, as per Sofascore.
He's immensely talented and will likely keep his starring role for years to come, but he is still young and this is reflected through his current market value, with Football Transfers marking the Netherlands international with a £22m price tag.
Of course, Spurs paid in excess of this fee to land the talented defender, and no doubt such a valuation will skyrocket in the months and years to come, though for now, there's a fellow Dutchman who used to thrive at Tottenham who would have been worth more in 2024 money. The man in question is Rafael van der Vaart
Rafael van der Vaart's market valuation in 2024
Van der Vaart amassed 77 appearances for Tottenham, posting 28 goals and 18 assists, with his one-time Lilywhites teammate Peter Crouch remarking that he was “different class” at the club.
Spurs signed the attacking midfielder from Real Madrid way back in 2010 for a reasonable £8m figure, enjoying some of his finest football across two campaigns before re-signing for former outfit Hamburg for around £10m in 2012.
These weren't exactly figures that lifted the roof within transfer discourse over a decade ago, but how might they have looked in the modern market?
Well, thanks to the number-crunching people over at Totally Money, footballing fanatics can find the answer to these abstract questions.
Totally Money deduced that Van der Vaart's £11m exit fee when German suitors came prowling at the end of his Tottenham career would have been worth £31m in today's market.
29 years old at the time, the former Netherlands star was immense for Spurs, completing 84% of his passes during his first Premier League term and raising that average to 88% across the 2011/12 campaign, racking up 24 goals and 15 assists in the top-flight during this time, as per WhoScored.
To put that in perspective, Christian Eriksen bagged 18 goals and added 23 assists across his two final full seasons at Tottenham, so Van der Vaart is in fine company there.
It's clear that Van de Ven is going to shoot up to the upper echelon of the defensive scene on the continent, barring any dramatic unforeseen circumstances, and if a team like Real Madrid or Manchester City were to come lurking with sights on the dynamic defender's signature, you can bet your bottom dollar that Daniel Levy would demand a gargantuan figure.
Actually, that begs the question: just how much will Van de Ven be worth in 2030's money?
Spurs hit the jackpot with £18m sale now worth even less than Forster
It’s hard to argue against Daniel Levy’s decision to ship this ace on for a sizeable figure.

New era launched by dispiriting innings defeat as same old failings resurface against New Zealand
George Dobell at Mount Maunganui25-Nov-2019
Joe Root fell cheaply in England’s second-innings rearguard•AFP
There are so many contenders for England’s most abject batting display in recent years – they’ve been bowled out in a session several times – that this performance may scarcely gain a podium place among them.But as Joe Root steered a wide one to gully, as Ben Stokes chopped on to his stumps, as Jos Buttler left one that hit his off stump and Ollie Pope somehow stretched to reach a wide full toss and hit it to cover – truly, a contender for worst Test stroke since Shannon Gabriel’s “why did he do that?” dismissal against Pakistan in 2017 – the poverty of England’s batting was revealed anew. This was, by any standards, a museum-quality display of dim-witted batting.Let’s be clear on the context. Going into this Test, the England management – including the captain and coach – made it clear that England side was going to adopt a different approach. This side, they said, was going to pride itself in batting time. They were going to shelve the aggression they had demonstrated under Trevor Bayliss and show they had the ruthlessness to grind out match-defining scores.But like a smoker craving that cigarette, like a junkie needing a fix, those old habits couldn’t be resisted. So instead of leaving the wide ball, instead of offering only the straightest of bats and the most determined of defence, England were seduced into flirts and forcing and failure. Yes, the day-five surface offered some variable bounce and yes, with the foot holes outside the off stump, batting was tough for left-handers. But for right-handers there was, in Stuart Broad’s words to the BBC ahead of play “nothing to worry about” from the surface. “There’s nothing in that pitch that should frighten us,” he said. “Nothing to stress us out too much.” He was probably right.’Ahh, but you have to play your natural game’ they will cry. But if your natural game isn’t good enough, if it keeps seeing you fail, you have to improve it. That’s part of the discipline – or should be – inherent in the life of an international athlete. BJ Watling’s resistance should prove an inspiration to England’s batsmen. There is no individual stroke he can play that Root, for example, cannot. But he seems to be prepared to concentrate harder and work for longer. Put simply, England weren’t greedy enough with the bat.Let’s be fair: this is, we’re told, the start of a new era for England. And as such, perhaps we have to be patient to allow the words and methods of the new coach to bed in. It will, they say, take time for the team to implement the new, more patient approach expected of them.But it was no aberration, either. It’s not just that it was New Zealand’s third victory in four Tests over England. It was also England’s fourth innings defeat in 14 overseas Tests under Root’s captaincy. When you add to that two 10-wicket defeats and losses of 381 runs (against West Indies) and 120 (against Australia), a pretty clear – if grim – picture emerges: England are very poor away from home. It was last winter’s victory over a Sri Lanka side in transition that was the aberration.Perhaps only Joe Denly, of the top order, can be exonerated in this innings. Having resisted for 142 balls, he attempted to leave one – a sensible choice – from Neil Wagner only to see the ball rear and clip his glove as it scudded through to the keeper. It was, from Denly’s point of view, unfortunate. But it is the sort of dismissal that occurs on fifth-day pitches. Had England taken advantage of winning the toss and recorded the sort of commanding first-innings score they should have done, Denly might never have found himself in such a position.One of the crucial moments in this Test came when Stokes, supremely well set on 91 in the first innings, advanced down the pitch and attempted to thrash a delivery from Tim Southee into the Pacific. It was an impetuous, impatient shot and it opened the door to New Zealand. England subsequently lost 4 for 18 and the chance to set that commanding first-innings total was gone. Broad subsequently told the BBC England were anything up to “150 short on a pitch like this” and they had been “disappointed not to get 500 in the first innings.” Stokes’ dropping of Watling on 31 was key, too.All of this will only increase the volume of voices questioning Root’s continued position as captain. The main issue is simply his lack of runs: after this, his worst Test (in games where he has, as captain, batted in both innings), he is now averaging 27.40 in 10 Tests this calendar year and 39.70 in 34 Tests as captain. Those are not small sample sizes and they compare to his average of 52.80 in 53 Tests when not captain. Increasingly, the burden of captaincy appears to be compromising his ability to deliver his key skill: run-scoring.But there are also question marks over his leadership. He wasn’t able to lead by example by making a success of the No. 3 position and he wasn’t able to stamp his character on the team by successfully enforcing the positive style of play that was preached for a couple of years.ALSO READ: Missed opportunity in first innings cost England, admits RootRoot’s use – or over-use – of Jofra Archer is a worry and there is little evidence that he has the tactical nous to conjure wickets on tough days. Most of all, he has – perhaps unfairly – never completely been able to shake the image of the little boy who, if he is really good, will be allowed to stay up late and watch . This England environment looks just a little soft; just a little safe and there have been several times when it wasn’t clear who was leading it: Bayliss? Ed Smith? Ashley Giles? Or Broad and James Anderson? Root is 34 Tests into his career as captain – more than David Gower, Mike Brearley and Ray Illingworth, to name but three – and still the talk is of learning.But Root is, despite recent struggles, probably still England’s best batsman. And he is, despite the obvious unflattering comparison with Eoin Morgan as England’s white-ball leader, still hugely respected and popular within the dressing room. And with a new head coach having just started, the England management will argue this is a new start to his period as leader. There is every indication Root will be allowed to continue to learn in the role.Besides, there isn’t an obvious alternative. Although you could probably make a case for Broad, Stokes, Buttler, Rory Burns or, at a push, even Morgan, there isn’t any compelling evidence to suggest they would perform any better.And that’s because they would still have to wrestle with the same issues: the county schedule and knock-on consequences to county pitches; the disparity between the Duke’s and Kookaburra balls; the emphasis on white-ball cricket for several years and the problems with the development of fast bowlers and spinners. It might help, too, if counties stopped promoting their overseas or Kolpak players into the captaincy and instead invested in developing leadership skills in young, England-qualified players.With those factors in mind, Root probably deserves time to improve this team. But this was a deeply disappointing performance. At some stage soon, Root really does need to start repaying the huge amount of faith invested in him.

رفع كارلو أنشيلوتي مدرب ريال مدريد راية التحدي بعد النتائج السلبية للفريق مؤخرًا، مؤكدًا أنه على علم بمشكلة الفريق في الوقت الحالي.
ويرى أنشيلوتي أن ريال مدريد سيعود بقوة للمنافسة على جميع الألقاب في المسابقات التي يشارك بها هذا الموسم، مشيرًا إلى أن تلك “عادة الفريق”.
وتعرض ريال مدريد للهزيمة برباعية في الكلاسيكو أمام برشلونة، ثم تلقى هزيمة بثلاثية لهدف من ميلان في دوري أبطال أوروبا.
وتحدث أنشيلوتي بمؤتمر صحفي اليوم الجمعة قبل مباراة ريال مدريد أمام أوساسونا بمنافسات الدوري الإسباني، ونشرت صحيفة “آس” الإسبانية تصريحاته.
وقال أنشيلوتي: “يقوم أوساسونا بعمل جيد للغاية ونعتبرها فرصة عظيمة للأداء بشكل جيد مرة أخرى في هذا الوقت العصيب، غدًا فرصة لاستعادة النسخة الأفضل لنا، وهذا ليس المكان المناسب للحديث عن المشاكل التي نواجهها”.
وأضاف: “تحدثنا وحللنا الوضع، نعتقد أننا وجدنا الحل، لكن يجب رؤيته على أرض الواقع، دعونا نرى نسخة مختلفة، أرى الفريق متحدًا ومتحمسًا وواعيًا، لقد اكتشفنا الحل الصحيح، لكن علينا أن ننتظر حتى الغد لنرى ما إذا كنا نتصرف بالطريقة الصحيحة”.
وأشار: “مشكلتنا ليست مشكلة هجومية، ولا مشكلة تمركز، إنه شيء دفاعي، أتطلع إلى الغد، لنرى كيف سينتهي الأمر”.

وبشأن تغيير مركز فينيسيوس عن رقم “9”، أفاد: “لأنني لم أرغب في إبعاده عن المكان الذي يصنع فيه الفارق ويمكن لمبابي أن يلعب كمهاجم، لا شيء آخر، مشكلتنا ليست هجومية، بل دفاعية”.
وأردف: “أشعر بالقوة، ليس أنا فقط، إنها فترة صعبة نمر بها جميعًا، لكننا لا نزال فريقًا قويًا ومتحدًا للغاية، هذه اللحظات تحدث دائمًا في كرة القدم، لكنها فرصة للمضي قدمًا وأن نكون أقوى في المستقبل”.
وحول الشعور بالإحباط وإذا كان نادمًا على قرار رفض تدريب منتخب البرازيل، رد أنشيلوتي: “شكرًا على السؤال، لا شيء، إنها لحظة حساسة، لكن حان الوقت للاستمرار، لست نادمًا على أي شيء وسأواصل الاستمتاع بكل يوم في ريال مدريد”.
مؤكدًا: “سأقدر كل الوقت الذي سأقضيه هنا، إنه وقت صعب، لكني سعيد بقضاء وقتي هنا، في أفضل ناد في العالم، اللحظات المعقدة حدثت دائمًا وستحدث دائمًا”.
وأصر أنشيلوتي: “أستمتع بكل يوم في ريال مدريد، حتى في اللحظات الصعبة، لأنني أرى الناس متحدين ليخرجوا الأفضل، دعم النادي واللاعبين، شخصيًا، أمضيت ليالي طويلة، أفكر فيها كثيراً وأبحث عن الحلول، ومن ثم، مشاركة هذه الحلول، الآن تأتي المعاينة، والرغبة، والإثارة، لمعرفة ما إذا كان ما تم التخطيط له، يمكننا تحقيقه”.
وحول جاهزية فالفيردي، أوضح: “جيد جدًا، جاهز للعب غدًا، لقد تدرب بشكل جيد خلال هذين اليومين، لم أقل إنه يعاني من مشكلة في الظهر، ولم نقل ذلك أبدًا من النادي؛ لقد كان مصابًا به، لكنه تعافى الآن، الآن لا بأس”.
وبشأن إندريك وجولر ومنحهم مزيدًا من الدقائق، أستطرد: “جاهزون للعب، وأداء جيد للغاية، ويظهرون الكثير من الجودة في التدريب، وأنا أقول الشيء نفسه عن جولر، إنهم شباب يضغطون، لكن الفكرة الجماعية هي المضي قدمًا بهذا الأمر في أسرع وقت ممكن، هذه هي الأولوية”.
وفيما يتعلق بعقد صفقات جديدة، أكد: “هذا ليس الوقت المناسب، التفكير في التعاقدات يعني عدم تقييم ما لدينا، سنتحدث عن هذا في الأشهر المقبلة”.
وحول رؤيته لمستقبل الفريق شدد: “أراه موسمًا ناجحًا، ونقاتل من أجل جميع الألقاب في جميع المسابقات، في غضون شهر سيكون لدينا إمكانية الفوز بالإنتركونتيننتال وسننافس في الدوري والأبطال، على الرغم من خسارة المباريات التي خسرناها، كما حدث دائمًا! كما حدث دائمًا”.
Length of Test matches only part of the discussion says former England captain who sits on ICC cricket committee
ESPNcricinfo staff10-Jan-2020
Andrew Strauss•Getty Images
Andrew Strauss, the former England opener and ECB director of cricket who now sits on the ICC’s cricket committee, has warned that any move towards making four-day Tests mandatory “should be an easy sell or we shouldn’t be doing it”.As revealed by ESPNcricinfo, cricket’s governing body is mulling the possibility of stipulating that World Test Championship matches be played over four days – with a minimum of 98 overs per day – from 2023 onwards. However, while conceding that efforts had to be made to improve the health of Test cricket globally, Strauss suggested game length was “only one part” of the discussion.”If you asked how many people want to reduce Test matches down from five days to four, the answer is probably not that many,” Strauss told the . “My gut feeling is that we should be looking at the whole picture, how Test cricket can be looking as healthy as possible in future, then work back from that.”We shouldn’t assume Test cricket is healthy just because it is popular in England. In lots of parts of the world, boards are struggling financially and Test cricket is not paying the bills. So we have to look at ways to improve the product for all. That’s the spectacle, the cricket itself, the costs, the schedules, the pitches, the balls, the experience. We need a World Test Championship that is meaningful and compelling. The length of the game is only one part of that bigger discussion.”This isn’t something that is being proposed with an agenda behind it. No one wants to change for the sake of it. It should be an easy sell or we shouldn’t be doing it.”Strauss, under whose captaincy England held the No. 1 Test ranking between 2011 and 2012, also highlighted the concern that pitches in Asia may not deteriorate enough over four days in order to produce results.The ICC’s cricket committee, currently chaired by Anil Kumble, is set to meet in March to discuss the proposals – which could free up considerable room in cricket’s crowded international schedule – before putting their recommendations to the executive body. Two other members of the cricket committee, former Sri Lanka batsman Mahela Jayawardene and Mickey Arthur, Sri Lanka’s coach, both expressed their preference for five-day Tests earlier this week.There have been plenty of dissenting voices among current players, too, with the Federation of International Cricketers’ Associations demanding clarity about how the change would positively affect the calendar, amid fears any space made could be filled by “additional or meaningless cricket”.
One club's £86 million star has now decided he wants to join Mikel Arteta at Arsenal this summer, as he deems north London his "first choice".
Edu transfer plan as Arsenal seek new forward
Sporting director Edu has already revealed the calibre of player which Arsenal are looking to bring in, and with any luck, they'll be coming in to help the club defend their potential league title.
Arsenal set for discussions to sign £40m Brazilian with bid now possible
The Gunners are setting summer plans in motion.
ByEmilio Galantini Apr 10, 2024
Arsenal's steady growth under Arteta has been nothing short of exceptional, with the Gunners spending years outside of England's elite circle but now find themselves consistently contending at the top end of the table.
This is largely down to the players brought in, as both Arteta and Edu work in tandem to continue investing into the club's long-term project. Attention soon turns towards the summer transfer window and how best to keep building upon Arsenal's recent success, with their transfer chief explaining that they're after young, hungry and passionate new recruits.
"We already have our targets,” said Edu on Arsenal's summer transfer policy.
“We have planned a lot ahead and I will be worried if we don’t score a lot of goals and if we’re not creating chances, which is the opposite because we create a lot and score a lot of goals. The plan is to try to get better every year and I think we are in a good moment. Let's see if we can keep improving.
