Chelsea were crowned winners of the inaugural Premier League Summer Series after they beat Fulham at the FedEx Field in Landover, Maryland.
Mauricio Pochettino's side recorded a comfortable 2-0 win against their Premier League opponents on Sunday thanks to goals from Thiago Silva and Christopher Nkunku.
Despite it being a pre-season tournament, Chelsea fans will be encouraged following positive performances against Wrexham, Brighton and Newcastle.
And the addition of Nkunku and Nicolas Jackson, who has netted twice on their tour of America, has added some much-needed fire power in attacking areas.It was reported at the weekend that Chelsea could launch an audacious bid to sign Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Daily Record claim the Blues are attempting to negotiate a cash-plus-player deal to bring Mbappe to the Premier League following interest from Real Madrid and Liverpool.
They also suggest PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has held direct discussions with Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly over a transfer.
With the Frenchman's future very much in the air, fans are convinced that Ben Chilwell mentioned Kylian Mbappe's name when they lifted the Premier League Summer Series trophy.
As you can see from the footage below, Chilwell appears to say, "And Mbappe ain’t here” as captain Reece James lifts the silverware.
