Joao Pedro - Commits long-term to Chelsea Joao Pedro has signed a new contract with Chelsea running through 2034, the club announced.

Impact Joao Pedro made an immediate impact after joining from Brighton in July 2025, scoring in both the Club World Cup semifinal and final as Chelsea were crowned world champions, then carried that form into his first full season, netting 20 goals across all competitions and earning the club's Player of the Season award. He's continued that scoring form into preseason, racking up seven goals in six appearances, including two braces and a hat trick, an early signal of his sharpness heading into the new campaign. The new deal locks in one of the club's most productive attacking players for the long term as Chelsea builds around him going forward.

Pedro Neto - Could fill new role Neto could be used as a right wing-back in coach Xabi Alonso's 3-4-2-1 formation after preseason tours in Australia and Asia, according to The Athletic.

Impact Neto could see his offensive responsibilities reduced with a shift to wing-back, especially if he sits behind several options such as Cole Palmer, Estevao and Morgan Rogers in attacking spots. However, staying in the starting lineup and offering set-piece ability are encouraging signs that allow the Portuguese to retain some of his creative threat. Additionally, he'll have a chance to rack up defensive output and get involved in ground duels in most fixtures. His positional usage will be worth monitoring closely after he started 30 of 34 Premier League matches last season.

Enzo Fernandez - Considered in multiple midfield roles Fernandez could play either in holding midfield or No. 10 positions during the 2026/27 season, with coach Xabi Alonso commenting "He can do both. Mainly because of the balance in t...

Impact Fernandez is apparently staying at Chelsea and is available at least for the initial stretch of the campaign. Following an extensive World Cup participation in which he scored two goals while adding 12 shots, four chances created, 478 passes and 11 tackles over seven games, the Argentinian could remain a helpful asset for his club, potentially featuring as a box-to-box midfielder when Moises Caicedo is able to provide defensive cover behind him. If that remains the case for the entire season, Fernandez should continue to hold value across various statistical categories, including offensive upside after he produced 15 goals and seven assists across all competitions in 2025/26.

Mamadou Sarr - Available after lineup scare Sarr is expected to be an option for Monday's season opener against Fulham, according to coach Xabi Alonso. "With the other players, let's see. We will check and assess them, but f...

Impact Sarr had been withdrawn from Chelsea's starting lineup against Johor Darul Ta'zim with the severity of the issue initially unclear, a moment that briefly threatened to further complicate his development path at the club. With Maxence Lacroix and Levi Colwill still expected to be the preferred center back pairing to open the season, Sarr's clearance mainly restores squad depth rather than a starting spot, but it's a welcome resolution nonetheless.

Impact Sharman-Lowe had missed a recent friendly against Real Sociedad with what was described as a minor issue, and his return removes any doubt heading into the new season. He remains in contention to serve as Chelsea's third choice goalkeeper behind Robert Sanchez and Mike Penders, a role his clean bill of health now leaves him well positioned to fill if called upon.
