Chelsea have high expectations for their summer arrivals, with Joao Pedro already making a big impression.
The club also brought in Jamie Gittens, Estevao, Alejandro Garnacho, and Liam Delap to boost their attack.
Garnacho was a late addition to the squad, with Enzo Maresca pushing for the attacker.
Troy Deeney has made his predictions on what Garnacho’s first season with Chelsea will look like.
Speaking on his show, The Football Exchange, the former Premier League striker said, “I’m going to say seven [goals] and five [assists].
“I don’t think he’s going to start every week. There’s going to be a lot of growth in him as a Chelsea player. He’d score first as opposed to assist first. Does that fit with what Maresca wants? I’m really not sure.”

The Argentinian’s best season came in 2023/24 when he scored nine goals and had four assists in all competitions for United.

With Chelsea, Garnacho will face competition from multiple teammates to play on the wing, as Gittens, Estevao, Tyrique George, and Pedro Neto all play wide, as well.
