Chelsea FC secured another pre-season victory with a 3-0 win over Bromley, but off-field decisions loom large as interest in Bayer Leverkusen's Kerim Alajbegovic grows. Xabi Alonso's side now face a double transfer dilemma with Joao Pedro and Pedro Neto's futures uncertain.

What happened in Chelsea FC's latest friendly?

Jamie Gittens scored again as Chelsea FC beat League One's Bromley 3-0 in a behind-closed-doors friendly. New signing Emmanuel Emegha netted once more but reportedly suffered a hamstring injury. The Blues followed up last weekend's 3-1 win over Crawley with another victory before their Australian tour.

Why does Alajbegovic interest matter for Chelsea FC?

Chelsea FC's reported interest in 18-year-old Alajbegovic could force decisions on current wingers. The Standard understands the club would need to sell Pedro Neto or loan out Gittens to formalize their pursuit of the Bosnia international. With Morgan Rogers' £117m arrival increasing competition, Alonso faces tough squad management choices.

What's the latest on Chelsea FC's pre-season form?

Alonso has made a confident start with two wins from two pre-season games. Emegha's 26 goals in 65 Ligue 1 appearances for Strasbourg last season show his potential, though his injury setback complicates matters. Chelsea FC finished 10th in the Premier League last season with 52 points (14W-10D-14L), scoring 58 goals while conceding 52.

How does this affect Chelsea FC's transfer strategy?

While Chelsea FC aren't actively looking to sell Neto, they would consider serious offers. Gittens' strong pre-season form offers a reminder of his quality, but Rogers' arrival and Alajbegovic interest may limit opportunities. The Blues begin their Australian tour on July 28 against Western Sydney Wanderers at Accor Stadium.
