  • Chelsea targets dream signature for Pedro
  • Why Simons is the best for Pedro

This year has been a great summer for Chelsea so far.

In addition to winning the Club World Cup, the Bruce made many exciting additions to their first team, including the pre-season epic João Pedro.

However, the West Londoners appear to be unimpressed against Crystal Palace on Sunday, and the Brazilian centre forward does not look like his usual dangerous self.

It may have been a one-off, but fortunately, Chelsea are trapped in another great signature this season that can help Pedro run faster and run.

Chelsea targets dream signature for Pedro

In addition to Pedro, Chelsea have completed several potential game-changing signatures this summer. Liam Dellup will provide real competition in the ninth position, with Jamie Gitten energizing the left side.

The conference league champion, just 19 years old, has strengthened his defensive rank with a very exciting Yarel pigeon, who has already made 111 senior caps for the Dutch Ajax under his belt.

But the people of West London are not doing there. Now it appears to be intended to pick up another incredibly exciting attacker, Pedro, who can help him get up and run as quickly as possible.

At least that’s according to a recent report from transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Chelsea is still very interested in Zabi Simons.

The Italian journalist has revealed that the talk between Bruce and R.B. Leipzig is still ongoing and needs to be done, but the club is “confident” in landing a flying Dutchman who still wants it.

Romano has not mentioned how much it costs a 22-year-old, but reports earlier this summer claim that a fee of around £61 million should do the trick. This seems fair to Simons quality players, especially since they can launch Pedro and fire him.

Why Simons is the best for Pedro

Well, the first and undoubtedly most important reason Simons could help Pedro get up and run his output faster.

For example, despite playing for the inactive Leipzig side that failed last season’s European qualifiers, the Dutch magician was able to score 11 goals and provide eight assists in just 33 appearances. It’s a total of 2,763 minutes.

In other words, the explosive “game changer” dubbed by talent scout Jacek Kulig maintained an average goal involvement every 1.73 games or every 145.42 minutes.

Thus, the Amsterdam-born Dynamo can not only provide a wealth of goal-scoring opportunities for Brazilian forwards, but also has the ability to complete the game to reach the end of the chance created by former Brighton & Hove Albion stars.

Plus, it’s not like the previous PSV Eindhoven gems were lucky or the hot streak last season.

According to FBREF, he was ranked in the top 3% of midfielders and wingers during the offensive Bundesliga last season, passing through the ball of passes to the penalty area and arrived in the final third. He was also ranked in the top 5% for ball recovery and in the top 6% for progressive passes.

These numbers draw pictures of creative maestros that can be passed to dangerous territory just as dangerous as carrying a ball. In other words, opposition defenders are not sure what he is going to do.

Finally, the final reason why the former Paris Saint-Germain gem becomes a very impressive teammate for Pedro is the diversity of his position.

For example, he played most of last season by attacking midfield, calling himself “one of the best teens in the world,” but he played equally comfortably on both wings and spent time at the top.

In other words, Maresca can play a 22-year-old where he needs to be, and as a result, he gives him the opportunity to play and form a proper understanding with the sharp Brazilian shooter.

Ultimately, Pedro appears to be successful regardless of Chelsea’s success, but if the club wants to get more from him and help him get up and run faster, Simons is the answer.
