The Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovich is desperate to take advantage of Chelsea’s offer to be Peter Cech’s deputy, and says that he is very annoyed with the treatment he has received from Stoke since his arrival.

Bogovic’s agent, Will Sherling, said yesterday: “Asmir feels betrayed and let down by the club. He didn’t refuse to play against Shrewsbury and anyone who knows him knows he would never do that.

Pulis definitely spat his dummy out, and said that the Stoke chairman Peter Coates was LESS likely to let Begovic go because of his no-show!

Pulis ranted after the game, saying: “He said this morning he did not want to play.

The Brazilian midfielder Ramires has finally completed his £18m transfer from Benfica, but it is just too late to be included in this evenings match against West Brom, but hopefully he will get his first outing against Wigan next weekend.

Ramires said: “Every player in the world would love to play for Chelsea and it’s a great opportunity.”

The Stoke manager Tony Pulis has already rejected a bid from Chelsea for his reserve goalkeeper Asmir Begovic, and he says he has no need to sell him, and doesn’t intend to!

Pulis said: “We’re not in a position where we must sell. Chelsea made an enquiry but there’s no need to cash in on him.

“Chelsea have been told he’s not for sale. We’re trying to bring players in, not let our better players go.

The Chelsea defender Ricardo Carvalho has joined Real Madrid today for a fee of £6.7m this morning, it has been revealed on the Blues official website.

“Chelsea can confirm it has agreed terms with Real Madrid for the transfer of Carvalho,” the statement said.

“The transfer is subject to a medical and the player agreeing personal terms. Chelsea would like to thank Riccy for his six years of service, and we wish him well in his future career.”

There have been constant rumours this summer that Ricardo Carvalho was going to be purchased by Real Madrid and be reunited with his old boss Jose Mourinho, and that Yuri Zhirkov was going to return to Rusiia with Zenit St Petersburg, but both clubs have admitted that there is no chance now of either move happening.

The Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho admitted that he was keen on buying Ashley Cole from Chelsea, but he says that he has accepted the response from Carlo Ancelotti that Cole is not for sale.

“We thought about him because he’s a good player who I enjoyed working with. But when a coach says ‘no’ it’s no, and we have to accept that,” Mourinho said. “Carlo Ancelotti was very, very clear … he killed the story saying, no money can buy Ashley Cole,”

The young Chelsea striker Scott Sinclair is finding it difficult to get into the Blues first team with so many stars around, so it is no surprise that the talented youngster is being headhunted by tams from the lower divisions, and he will have to accept one if he wants first team football.

Swansea have made it clear that they would like Sinclair to join them next season. Their chairman Huw Jenkins said: “We have spoken to Chelsea about Scott,”

In some great news for Chelsea fans it looks like the Blues will have another classy Brazilian in the team next season. It is being reported that Benfica have acepted an £18.3million bid from Chelsea for Ramires.

Goal reported today: The Aguias have now apparently changed their mind though, as a report in Record suggests that Benfica have reached an agreement with English powerhouse Chelsea over the transfer of the former Cruzeiro star. The Blues will reportedly pay a fee of €22 million (£18.3m) to secure the services of the Brazil international.

The Benfica midfielder Ramires is convinced that Chelsea are in the middle of finalising his transfer to Stamford Bridge, and can’t wait to join his new team-mates in London. Barcelona and Real Madrid were also reported to be interested in the Brazilian international.

He said: “There has been a bid for me from Chelsea.

“To play for the best team in the Premier League and for a club with so much history, it would be my dream.
