🚨Chelsea’s priority in the market is a versatile attacker, a profile which Joao Pedro would fit, as well as a right-footed left winger. Chelsea are in talks with Dortmund over a move for Jamie Gittens.

​📊 Benfica vs Chelsea | Stats

🔹If selected [against Benfica], Enzo Fernandez will start a Chelsea game for the 100th time. It will also be his 50th Blues appearance of the season.

🔹Chelsea have won 10 of our past 12 matches across all competitions. Our defeats in that run came at Newcastle and against Flamengo last Friday when we completed both matches with 10 players. We have kept clean sheets in six of those games.

🔹Tyrique George has had a hand in eight goals in his past 18 appearances in all competitions (three goals, five assists), despite only starting seven games in that time. He has scored in two of his last four substitute appearances.

🔹Liam Delap is the 20th different Chelsea player to score a goal for the club this season, equalling our 2015/16 campaign and one behind our club-record 21 which was set in 2021/22.

🔹 After facing 13 shots on target in our first two games of the tournament (four v LAFC and nine v Flamengo), Chelsea did not face any against ES Tunis, the first time under Enzo Maresca we had not faced a shot on target.

🔹Players who featured for both Chelsea and Benfica: Enzo Fernandez, David Luiz, Nemanja Matic, Ramires, Tiago Mendes, Scott Minto, Joao Felix, Diego Moreira, Eduardo Carvalho, Maniche, Emerson Thome

🚨 The fee would likely be above £50m for Joao Pedro, and Chelsea are keen on a versatile attacker to provide variety and depth.

🚨Chelsea have had an initial approach for Joao Pedro knocked back but negotiations are ongoing and there is a feeling that the 23-year-old will favour a move to Stamford Bridge over Newcastle.

Sam Jewell bought Joao Pedro to Brighton and is now a Chelsea director. Jewell has been influential in Chelsea’s push for Pedro and there’s confidence the player will chose Chelsea if a fee can be agreed.
