Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has updated on one big new Chelsea transfer deal that is happening just this week.

Chelsea beat Benfica in the first set of knockout rounds in the Club World Cup on Saturday night, but it was far from easy and also, very far from drama!

Sources: Chelsea still looking to sign West Ham star despite agreeing deal to bring Joao Pedro in!

Enzo Maresca labelled it a joke that the game got suspended for two hours due to sever weather conditions and slammed the tournament location as a result, and he really does have a point here.

And then came a flurry of late goal with Benfica equalising deep into stoppage time through a penalty to send it into extra time. Chelsea then bagged a bunch of goals to go on and win the game before it got to penalties!

Chelsea working

The Blues are working on more transfer deals and getting bits done as they look to sign more new players as well as sell some too.

This week things have picked up a bit and moved on, and they are on the verge of announcing a couple of new signings in the shape of Jamie Gittens of Dortmund, and Joao Pedro of Brighton, both now being done deals.

Pedro completes medical

The latter of the two has now completed his Chelsea medical and it should be in time for him to feature in Chelsea’s next Club World Cup game at the weekend.

Fabrizio Romano has reported on his YouTube channel that Pedro has now completed his Chelsea medical yesterday.

Pedro will be a great addition to Chelsea’s attack and will hopefully help them in breaking down low blocks and providing more of a threat with goals and assists.
