Pedro Neto has just joined Chelsea, but the Blues are a team whom the winger is already familiar with.

Coming from Wolverhampton Wanderers, another Premier League side, Pedro Neto got the chance to go up against Chelsea last season.

And he had success against them after helping Wolves to beat Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge.

Neto will now be looking to do the opposite and help Chelsea defeat Wolves when the two clubs face each other later this month. He should prove to be an extremely useful player for Enzo Maresca, with Neto happy to play in more than one position.

Pedro Neto discusses current Chelsea team

Wolves may have been able to put four past Chelsea last season, but Neto left that game still feeling that the Blues have a talented team.

Speaking to Chelsea’s official website, the 24-year-old said: “I know the history the club has. I’m really looking forward to meeting my teammates, meeting the staff, and meeting everyone else, because I want to make history with the club.

“It’s a young squad with really talented players. I played against Chelsea last year and I know the team we have. I can’t wait to meet them and work with them because we can do great things.”

One talented individual in Chelsea’s squad is Reece James. James and Neto are already friends and could combine on the right flank once the full-back is fit again.

Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke two more talents in Chelsea squad

James’ compatriots Cole Palmer and Noni Madueke are also two other talented players whom Maresca can call upon this season.

Palmer was a goal and assist machine last term, coming up with 40 goal contributions in 45 appearances for Chelsea.

As for Madueke, the wide man is such a skilful dribbler. In the Blues’ most recent Carabao Cup campaign, he completed 2.8 dribbles per game, which was the highest average in his squad (WhoScored).

Add Neto to the mix, and Chelsea have a really exciting attack. The club now need to ensure that they qualify for the Champions League.

Fail to do that, and the season will not go down as a success. Given the quality of teams in the Conference League, they should also be winning that competition.

If the likes of Neto and Palmer can stay fit, then Chelsea have a good chance of achieving all of the above.
