The Premier League season is over, but there is still plenty happening and talkSPORT.com has all the latest news.
Chelsea became the first team in history to win all three UEFA competitions by claiming the Conference League title on Wednesday night.
And things are about to get better for the Blues, with Liam Delap set to pick a move to Stamford Bridge over Manchester United, Newcastle United and Everton.
Elsewhere, we'll have the build-up to Saturday's Champions League final, as Inter Milan battle Paris Saint-Germain in Munich.
talkSPORT BET are offering new customers a massive 50/1 on either PSG or Inter Milan to win the Champions League.
Delap has given the green light to a switch to Stamford Bridge and Chelsea are confident he will sign.
The England Under-21 striker, who has a £30million release clause in his Ipswich contract, has also held talks with both Manchester United and Newcastle as well as Everton.
TalkSPORT's chief football correspondent Crook said: "It'll be interesting to see what Chelsea promised him."
A sticking point over talks with Newcastle was a guarantee of a starting XI spot, with the Magpies already having Alexander Isak.
Crook also noted that there could be a potential club vs country row emerging this summer over Delap.
Chelsea would be keen for their new striker to go to the Club World Cup, the dates of which clash with his England U21 commitments.

It tops off a great week for the Blues, who qualified for the Champions League on Sunday and now have a trophy.
