Yahoo Sports (Image) Stat shows why fans should be excited following debut of $66.6m man
Chelsea didn’t get their season off to the start they would have been hoping for against Manchester City but there were positives to take.
Four summer signings made their debuts whilst Romeo Lavia made his first competitive start for the club, with the Belgian putting in an impressive performance.
The likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Marc Guiu made their debuts, but the player fans were most excited for was Pedro Neto.
Neto was the first introduction from the bench in the second half and he injected some urgency into the game and gave the Blues some much needed natural width.
The Portugal international is a proven quantity at Premier League level and was a threat to the City defence during his 30 minutes on the pitch.
