Ross getting rave reviews after Chelsea's 1-0 win against ...erm...Perth. Been having 1 on 1 sessions with the new manager. Chelsea fans reckon he could be their 'secret' weapon for the new season.

They think Ross is a weapon, I agree on that

They subbed him and Fabregas for Bakayoko and Drinkwater. Looks to me like Sarri is checking out all his options in midfield

Chelsea in talks with Vecino of Inter, apparently. More competition for Ross if that goes through.

Was watching Chelsea v Arsenal tonight. Ross just been subbed off in 78th minute. To say he was anonymous would be a massive understatement. He looked like he didn't even want the ball. He hid all night long and just spent his time casually jogging about the centre circle. I purposely watched his movement. Never came looking for the ball at any stage, just hid and made sure he was surrounded by opposition players.

I would never take him back.

I caught one glimpse of the Chelsea v Arsenal game and during that one glimpse Ross was given the ball just outside the Arsenal box with players ahead of him and he did that square-up to the defender thing he does then passed it so far sideways behind all other attacking players, the Chelsea defence had to sprint to keep it going out for a throw and the attack was dead.

Callum Hudson-Odoi is getting rave reviews for tearing Bellerin a new one. I'm not sure what Sarri is like with youngsters from memory but there's worse full backs in the Premier League than Bellerin to test him against. Starting with Huddersfield.

The most likely scenario is a loan to Vitesse, though.
