🚨 Chelsea are still discussing whether they need another forward on top of Pedro and Gittens, with Ekitike a potential target. Whether they move on another forward may depend on if Nicolas Jackson departs or not.

Chelsea decided to not approach Brighton for Joao Pedro in May. However, discussions were held in America in June and decided that Pedro’s versatility and system fit would make him a strong addition.

Chelsea feel the bulk of their business is done, although are still discussing whether another forward is needed.

🚨 We need to keep an eye on Chelsea for potential one more attacking signing, I will not be surprised if Chelsea adds one more player to their squad in an offensive position. Still looking at options, and let's see what happens with outgoings. Let's keep an eye on it.

Joao Pedro wanted Chelsea, accepting their vision and project.

🚨Chelsea have earned close to £40m ($55m) so far at the Club World Cup. A further £15m ($21m) is at stake if they beat Palmeiras on July 4.

The tournament could effectively pay for Joao Pedro or Jamie Gittens, and if Chelsea go all the way cover either plus Liam Delap. It's Champions League money on offer, but in the space of just four weeks.

‼️ While Chelsea have formed a habit of stockpiling attacking talent under their BlueCo ownership, Joao Pedro’s profile is actually one that Maresca does not have in the squad — and one that could be a crucial part of Chelsea’s attacking jigsaw.

Joao Pedro’s arrival makes it clear that the Chelsea coach is looking for players with the technical quality to instil that style.

To borrow the famous quote by Spanish coach and former Manchester City assistant manager, Juanma Lillo: “The quicker the ball goes forward, the quicker it comes back”. Maresca is very much from the same school of thought.
