Chelsea is the world champion.
On Sunday, seeing no one came as a result, the Bruce destroyed Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 in the Club World Cup final.
The game ended at halftime. Cole Palmer recorded two nearly identical targets just eight minutes apart at MetLife Stadium.
So, the success of this summer’s statement is for Enzo Maresca’s part, but less than five weeks later, the Bruce will launch a Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Search for centre forwards for Chelsea
Already this summer, Chelsea has spent heavily on two strikers rather than one.
First, Liam Dellup arrived at a £30 million fee reported by Ipswich, with the British scoring the club’s first goal against Esperance Sports de Tunis during the group stage of the tournament.
But in the end he was taken by Joan Pedro’s pecking order, arriving from Brighton at £60 million, achieving his goal twice against his previous club’s Fulminence in the Club World Cup semi-finals.
However, according to a TBR Football report, Chelsea is “in touch” with Benjamin šeško representatives who hope to move to the Premier League this summer.
How Benjamin šeško improves Chelsea
Earlier this summer, Slovenia’s most likely destination looked like Arsenal, but the gunners were now “completing the deal” to sign Victor Gökeres instead, as reported by David Ornstein and athletic Mario Cortegana.
So, valued at around £78 million, šeško, still finished in London, now wearing blue and wearing the world patch champion on his chest?
Well, he’s only 22 years old, and Shessiko’s Leipzig performance certainly caught his eye.
Author Andreas Andersen “clinical” him, praises his “incredible athletic ability” and claims that he “has everything to become world class.”
Meanwhile, full football analysis Brandon Liss considers him to be an “exciting young talent” with extraordinary “pace and physicality,” but he is labelled “The New Haaland” by talent scout Jacek Kulig.
But now the questions remain. Is he a greater talent than Pedro? Let’s look into it.

As the table outlines, Sheszko is a much more clinical finisher than Pedro, a natural goalscorer, scoring more goals and collecting more shots.
In total, Sheshko scored 21 times in all competitions last season. There are four players, including four from the Champions League. Meanwhile, Pedro has enjoyed 20 of his single campaign so far.
So, despite already signing Delap and Pedro, Nicholas Jackson, Christopher Nukank and Marc Giu remain in their books, but have you passed Chelsea to splurge on Club World Cup winners at Shelsea?
