Fabrizio Romano: Chelsea “seriously consider” move for 3 capped Brazilian international | OneFootball

According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea are seriously considering making a move to sign a 3 capped Brazilian international.

Chelsea beat Los Angeles FC 2-0 in their Club World Cup opening group game on Monday night in what was a very strange and subdued atmosphere in front of just 22,000 people in a huge stadium.

It was far from vintage Chelsea but in the end they just got the job done and three points on the board to set them up for a good starts.

The goals came from a lovely Nicolas Jackson assist to Pedro Neto to finish in the first half. And then new signing Liam Delap also provided a superb assist for Enzo Fernandez to run into the box and tap in to score.

Chelsea looking for new attackers

The Blues continue to be linked with a host of new potential attacker names to sign and we are seeing loads of different profiles and options that they are looking at.

At this stage, it is unclear who they might end up getting or pushing for the most in a number of positions, but one name is coming up a lot this week now.

Brighton’s Joao Pedro is one name who is coming up a lot this week and there is clearly some strong Chelsea interest there in the 23-year-old who has 3 caps for the Brazilian national side.

Romano posted on his X account over night:

“Chelsea seriously consider João Pedro in their list while Newcastle are in active talks.”

I personally think he ends up at Newcastle, but you cannot ignore the constant and most recent links to Chelsea here either.
