Chelsea have already made over seven signings so far this summer, and it looks like there may just be more to come. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Chelsea<\/a> spent big to add Morgan Rogers alongside Maxence Lacroix, Marco Palestra, and Geovany Quenda, balancing out the youth with veterans Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson. <\/p>\n

On the pitch under new boss Xabi Alonso, the group is clicking fast. <\/p>\n

We\u2019ve already seen Emmanuel Emegha grab a brace, as well as struggler Jamie Gittens get in on the act, while Palestra and Welbeck looked promising against Juventus<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But it\u2019s all fun and games until the whole squad is back and playing, with players like Enzo Fernandez and Morgan Rogers still on a rest after the World Cup. <\/p>\n

Joao Pedro wants to play with Danny Welbeck <\/h2>\n

Joao Pedro<\/a> has already impressed for Chelsea during pre-season, coming on to score a hat-trick against Western Sydney Wanderers in the pre-season tour opener. <\/p>\n

Reunited after their time at Brighton, it\u2019s Danny Welbeck<\/a> who Joao is most looking forward to playing with this season at Chelsea. The pair enjoyed 45 minutes together against Juventus.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Chelsea, he had this to say about his new teammate.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone knows that he is a top player. I\u2019m looking forward to playing alongside him again and I think he will be a very good person to have in the group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joao Pedro and Danny Welbeck have shared the pitch in 42 matches across their spells at Watford, Brighton, and Chelsea. During those 1,899 combined minutes together, the pair has combined directly for three joint goal participations.<\/p>\n
