Chelsea have reportedly already annoyed one of their new signings who hasn’t kicked a ball for them yet after lying to him.

Yesterday was a bit of a wild day for Chelsea Football Club and in all honesty, they became a bit of a laughing stock after they publicly failed to get two new signings in the door.

Chelsea were chasing a deal to sign goalkeeper Mike Maignan before the Club World Cup starts, with the transfer deadline running out at 7pm last night. It was announced quite early in the day by Fabrizio Romano that the deal for Chelsea to sign Maignan was OFF!

So then Chelsea tried to sign Jamie Gittens from Dortmund and that one became the big headline news of the afternoon. But they couldn’t even get that one done either even after throwing in a late offer to sign him.

It was not a great day for Chelsea at all and the club managed to annoy and frustrate their entire fan base once again.

Chelsea also annoy a new signing

As well as annoying and angering the fan base, Chelsea also managed to annoy and anger one new player who has never even kicked a ball for them yet by going back on their word to him, or lying if you want to look at it that way – which it is essentially.

Paez NOT going to CWC

According to Ben Jacobs writing on his X account, Paez is not in Chelsea’s Club World Cup squad even though he was told he would be.

Jacobs says:

“Situation with Kendry Paez has changed. Player was expecting to go to the Club World Cup last week and then have his future decided. Chelsea have determined he is not part of their squad, with a Strasbourg loan anticipated. Paez understood to be disappointed as summer plans altered.”

Oh dear…
