Chelsea strengthened their side over the summer in an attempt to get to the point where they could really challenge the top teams in the Premier League.
Their most recent outing showed they are getting closer and closer to this level, as they drew 1-1 with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge.
A number of Blues really impressed in what many saw as their biggest game of the season so far.
Chelsea fans were again wowed by Moises Caicedo, who ended the debate for now as to who was performing better out of him and Declan Rice.
As far as summer signings go, the only one who started at the weekend was Pedro Neto. The Portuguese star fired home his first Premier League goal for the club in style.
Theo Walcott says Arsenal should have signed Pedro Neto before Chelsea did
The Blues completed the £54m signing from seemingly out of nowhere, while he was on the radar of a number of top clubs.
One of those was the Gunners, and Theo Walcott has stated that they could certainly have done with the signing of Neto to bolster their attacking options.
He said to Match of the Day 2: “When we talk about Neto – he’s the sort of player who Arsenal maybe could have signed to have given that competition to other players.
That’s kind of what they need right now, to provide that competition.”
Neto to replace Noni Madueke at right-wing?
Neto has gone from playing in the cup competitions to being one of the first names on the teamsheet every week at the moment.
He has been starting games on the left wing up to now, despite the fact Enzo Maresca stated he sees Neto as an option for the right wing earlier this season.
His goal at the weekend came after he changed wings, and this move happening from the start could spell trouble for Noni Madueke.
Chelsea fans were not happy that Madueke stormed down the tunnel after being replaced on Sunday, and it doesn’t feel as if this will have gone down very well with Maresca either.
