Fulham 2-3 Chelsea result, stats and report

Chelsea and Leeds meet at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night in the Carabao Cup, both sides carrying clean sheet wins into this fixture. One of them walks away with nothing.

Ismaïla Sarr's agent, Diomansy Kamara, has accused clubs of treating African players as commodities after Crystal Palace blocked a Liverpool bid for Sarr and Monaco reneged on a deal that would have sent Lamine Camara to Chelsea. Both players are Senegalese internationals now left in limbo after chaotic deadline-day breakdowns.

Robert Sanchez has been loaned to Como with a buy option just days after a costly error against Fulham cost him his Chelsea starting spot to new signing Emi Martinez. The move sits alongside Chelsea's £125m sale of Enzo Fernandez to Manchester City as Xabi Alonso overhauls the squad on deadline day.

Fulham have agreed a reported €25m deal for Eintracht Frankfurt's Hugo Larsson and a separate move for Real Madrid graduate Manuel Angel, hijacking Crystal Palace's pursuit of the Swedish midfielder just a day after reports had the Eagles closing in.

Tottenham have signed Mykhailo Mudryk on a season-long loan with a £75m option to buy, reuniting the Ukrainian winger with Roberto De Zerbi following a doping ban that kept him out of competitive football since November 2024. The deal marks a dramatic value collapse from the €100m Chelsea paid Shakhtar Donetsk in 2023.

Manchester City have agreed a joint-British record £125m deal for Enzo Fernandez, making him the first player to move twice for £100m-plus and completing manager Enzo Maresca's top target despite his messy Chelsea exit. Chelsea have already pivoted to a €45m bid for Monaco's Lamine Camara.

Tottenham are closing in on a season-long loan for Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk after missing out on Iliman Ndiaye and Cody Gakpo, but the winger hasn't played competitively since November 2024 following his doping suspension. Reporting has already shifted from 'talks' to 'accepted offer' within the same news cycle, part of a wider Chelsea clearout involving Tosin Adarabioyo and Robert Sanchez.

Liverpool are chasing Chelsea's Estêvão and other wide forwards as their deadline-day frontline scramble intensifies, but a more concrete story has slipped under the radar: Chelsea appear to have already beaten Liverpool to Monaco's Lamine Camara.
