Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has picked just one former or current Chelsea player in his best all time Xl this week.

It’s obviously something that is going to be a different pick for each person you ask, with angles from your favourite clubs, your favourite national sides, or in Neto’s case, who he has grown up watching the most and supporting the most.

Sources: Chelsea are still weighing up swap deals this summer with a couple looking likely!

You can see from Neto’s pick that there is a heavy Portuguese presence there, naturally. But he has also picked some absolute classic all time stars and some world class players.

You will notice from his list below though, that he has only picked one former Chelsea player, Eden Hazard!

Neto’s all-time favourite XI…

GK: Rui Patricio

RB: Nelson Semedo
CB: Ruben Dias
CB: Pepe
LB: Marcelo

DM: Sergio Busquets
CM: Andres Iniesta
CM: Lionel Messi

RW: Eden Hazard
ST: Cristiano Ronaldo
LW: Neymar Jr

What a team that is mind!

Chelsea defender Renato Veiga is very much up for sale this summer with three clubs showing a keen interest and judging by Fabrizio Romano’s latest updates on this one, it seems to be moving along.

Many clubs are also now circling to try and sign Blues midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall this window, and the latest report on that one suggests that something could happen here before the end of the summer.

Sterling available for 20m pounds!

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling is available for 20million pounds this summer but you’d struggle to see clubs even wanting to pay that for him and in fact, will any club be able to afford his wages and want to do anything more than just loan him in?

I feel he is going to need to drop his wage demands to get a move this summer.
