CHELSEA have been urged to continue splashing the cash – and sign up a DOG. With the Londoners seemingly looking to sign half of the transfer market, fans have joked that the Blues should sign the hound after a video of it juggling a ball surfaced.

The viral video showed a dog playing with a huge tennis ball.
It then juggled the ball on its head before it dropped to the floor, with its amazing dribbling skills then being showcased.
And fans posted some hilarious reaction to the clip.
One user wrote: “Someone show this to (Todd) Boehly.”

A third remarked: “uhoh… gonna cost £250m with £500k pw in wages. only one club will pay that.”
A fourth demanded: “Chelsea sign him up.”
Another referenced Chelsea legend Didier Drogba with their comment, writing: “Didier Dogba.”

This started a thread of other hilarious doggy-themed puns.
Among them were “Bark Ji Sung,” “Terrier Henry,” “Pup Guardogola,” and “Diego Maradogga.”
It comes after Chelsea completed the signing of Mykhailo Mudryk for £97million, including add ons.
In addition, Chelsea doubled Arsenal’s £50,000 per week offer and have signed him to a eight-and-a-half year deal at Stamford Bridge.
With the arrival of the 22-year-old, the Blues have now brought five players in January, including Benoit Badiashile, David Datro Fofana, Andrey Santos and loanee Joao Felix, who has cost the club a cool £10m loan fee.
Despite this, Chelsea remain intent on adding more to their squad, with them reportedly putting a bid in for PSV star Noni Madueke.
Under the ownership of Todd Boehly, Chelsea have now spent over £400m on transfers, with their winter outlay following on from the £273m they spent in the summer.
With Chelsea finally picking up a much needed win under Graham Potter, the new “attractive project” Mudryk yearned over may finally get its wheels in motion. More
ARSENAL fear they may have fallen victim to some sneaky tactics in their pursuit of Fiorentina striker Dusan Vlahovic.Boss Mikel Arteta is desperate to land a goalscorer before the January transfer window slams shut next week.

Serbia international Vlahovic was top of the list and the Gunners reportedly offered up to £88MILLION for his services.
But Arteta was stunned to see his main target reject his overtures and instead opt for a move to Serie A giants Juventus.
Now ESPN reports Arsenal bigwigs believe their interest may have been used as a ‘smokescreen’ by Fiorentina to agree the Juve deal.
The Florence club have a long-standing rivalry with their Turin-based foes, with their fans far from impressed at the Vlahovic deal.
The Gunners fear they may have been used as cover for the negotiations, with Vincenzo Italiano’s side never realistically considering selling to them.
The Vlahovic saga has left Arteta worried he could come away from the January window empty-handed.

His goal-shy team have failed to score in FOUR games on the bounce – their worst record in 16 years.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s fall from grace has left Arteta to rely on off-target Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah to lead the line.
But neither has been able to find the net regularly and there are fears at the Emirates they may be stuck without a goalscorer for the rest of the season.
On Thursday the North London club waved goodbye to centre-back Callum Chambers, who joined Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa revolution on a three-and-a-half year deal.

Manchester United also paid their respects to the legend and said the club is in mourning following the news.
They said: “Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world.”
His brother Jack, who died aged 85 in July 2020, had also suffered with the disease in his later life.
And brother Gordon died in January aged 79 after a battle with cancer and dementia.

Sir Bobby is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time.
He played in the Three Lions’ World Cup triumph in 1966 and went on to win Ballon d’Or later that year.
He also scored 249 goals in 758 games for Manchester United – helping them to their first ever European Cup win in 1968.
Despite playing as a midfielder, Sir Bobby netted a further 49 times in 106 games for England.
He spent almost all of his playing career at Man Utd and was renowned for his passes and long-range shots.
Sir Bobby survived the Munich Air Disaster in 1958 that killed eight of his teammates.
His wife Lady Norma revealed the star’s battle with dementia in November 2020 in a bid to “help others”.
The sad news furthered calls to investigate the link between football and dementia more vigorously.
Nobby Stiles, Martin Peters, Jack Charlton and Ray Wilson have all died since 2018 after living with dementia.
Sir Bobby was born on October 11, 1937, in mining village of Ashington, Northumberland.
He joined Utd when he was 15 and made his league debut against Charlton where he scored twice despite a sprained ankle.
The star’s manager Matt Busby said of Sir Bobby: “There has never been a more popular footballer.
“He was as near perfection as man and player as it is possible to be.”
In his personal life, Sir Bobby famously fell out with brother Jack, who also helped steer England to World Cup glory.
Jack accused his brother of not visiting their mother Cissie before her death in 1996.
Sir Bobby then revealed his wife Norma had been locked in a rift with Cissie and the footballer had taken his spouse’s side.
In 2007, he spoke of their tumultuous relationship after claiming Jack said some ‘absolutely disgraceful’ comments about his wife.
Bobby told the Guardian: “[Jack] came out in the newspapers saying things about my wife that were absolutely disgraceful. Nonsense.
“Ask anybody that ever met my wife: ‘hoity-toity’ is not a word they’d use.
“My brother made a big mistake. I don’t understand why he did it. He couldn’t possibly have known her and said what he said. I was astonished.”
MANCHESTER UNITED STATEMENT IN FULL
Manchester United are in mourning following the passing of Sir Bobby Charlton, one of the greatest and most beloved players in the history of our club.
Sir Bobby was a hero to millions, not just in Manchester, or the United Kingdom, but wherever football is played around the world.
He was admired as much for his sportsmanship and integrity as he was for his outstanding qualities as a footballer; Sir Bobby will always be remembered as a giant of the game.
A graduate of our youth Academy, Sir Bobby played 758 games and scored 249 goals during 17 years as a Manchester United player, winning the European Cup, three league titles and the FA Cup. For England, he won 106 caps and scored 49 goals for England, and won the 1966 World Cup.
Following his retirement, he went on to serve the club with distinction as a director for 39 years.
