Former Chelsea midfielder Andy Townshend: 🗣️ "Joao Pedro has been outstanding for Chelsea. His hold-up and link-up play with teammates like Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez was first-class. He was getting into traditional number nine goal-scoring positions, netting a couple of tap-ins. The one he dinked over Emi Martinez was a brilliant finish. That’s as good a centre-forward performance as I’ve seen in the Premier League for some time. He was outstanding." -

Wayne Rooney on Wrexham vs Chelsea: 🗣️ "I think it's the most I've enjoyed a game of football since I stopped playing. Really enjoyed it. Just the atmosphere. We had to walk through the fans quite a bit to get pitch-side and stuff, and the fans were great. But, just the atmosphere for the game, I thought it was a really good game. Wrexham were excellent, unfortunate not to go through and, yeah, really enjoyed it." {Wayne Rooney Show} -

One guy said we should sell Gusto, I asked him to name who we should buy that will accept to play as Reece's backup and he went mute. I'm 100% sure that if we stick to using Gusto as a RB, these Chelsea fans won't be saying all these nonsense about him. This is why some players don't want to play when they are not 100% fit or accept to play positions they are not familiar or comfortable with, just to protect their game and their own interests. Yet, fans will always come after those selfless players that will do anything to help their teams. Malo Gusto gives us so much tactically. He's not perfect. He can be careless in possession, and unproductive in attack but his game is so much more than that. Like I said, some people just don't understand his game. But he's young and will keep developing. Some fans may not value him, but I believe Chelsea know they have a super talent that will keep improving. At 22, he can become whatever he wants to become. -

🗣️ Liam Rosenior: "Joao is on fire, he’s on fire. I think everybody knew when he picked up the ball and he was driving at their defence that something good was about to happen. He’s in that place… I wanted to manage his minutes because he’s going to be massive for us in Paris on Wednesday." ~ @talkSPORT -

Joe Cole on Joao Pedro: 🗣️ "He’s a monster, he really is. I think he’s decided what he’s already doing [for his goal vs Wrexham], he’s playing with them, he takes the centre-half over to the left, drags him back, he actually strikes it into the floor, everything he’s hitting at the moment going in." ~ @footballontnt -

🗣️Andrey Santos: "I feel very happy. Every player works to be in the best clubs and leagues in the world. Defending Chelsea's shirt is a dream come true. I was welcomed by the squad and the fans from day one. The energy here is incredible. I hope to be able to repay all this affection. We want to win more cups to keep Chelsea at the top, which is where the club always has to be." ~ @FIFAcom -

Eden Hazard on beating Arsenal in the European League final in Baku: 🗣️ "Sarri, the day before the match, was very tense. It was his first European final, against Arsenal. It's not easy. At the end of the match, when we won the trophy, I saw him looking deeply at the medal. And all of a sudden, I was much happier for him than for me…also because I already had a medal! It was a great night." ~ @SkySport -

Liam Rosenior on facing PSG in the Champions League round of 16: 🗣️ "So excited. PSG are a fantastic team. I have experience of playing against them in France. These are the games you live for. It's going to be a great tie." ~ @BobbyVincentFL -

🗣️ Liam Rosenior on Cole Palmer: "We know what a world-class player he is. When he's at his best, he's unstoppable." ~ @BobbyVincentFL https://t.co/KjBPSYtHJC -

‼️ For Mamadou Sarr, Chelsea are discussing internally the possibility to recall the defender, if they can find a good solution for Anselmino. At the moment, it's just an internal conversation. Chelsea didn't present any formal step on this one. They are just assessing the situation internally whether to go and recall Sarr or not so. Internal talks at the moment, no decision made. ~ @FabrizioRomano on YouTube -

David Luiz on playing Munich final with a hamstring injury: 🗣️ “I met Roman Abramovich in the morning and he said ‘how are you?’ and I said ‘good’ and he said ‘how is your leg?’ and I said ‘I’m going to play with my heart and my brain. I don’t need my leg’ and he said ‘oh my God, it’s going to be difficult’, and I told him ‘come Roman, let’s do it together’. He said ‘OK, OK, you are so crazy. But let’s go’. I remember the morning of the game I was having breakfast and when I stood up Fernando [Torres] said ‘come on bro, you can’t even walk. How are you going to play?’ And I said ‘no problem, the game is tonight’.” ~ @TeleFootball -
