Chelsea’s latest signing, Pedro Neto, has already sparked excitement among fans, but what many don’t know is that he shares a unique connection with the club’s captain, Reece James.

Neto and James first connected online while discussing recovery techniques during their respective injury periods.
Both players, known for their resilience and determination, found common ground in sharing tips and experiences to help each other get back to their best. This digital camaraderie turned into a genuine friendship, one that Neto is eager to build on now that they’re teammates at Chelsea.
Speaking about his move, Neto expressed his excitement to join the Blues, saying, “It’s a big club, with big ambitions. I know the history and I’m really looking forward to making my own mark here.”
