🚨 Chelsea Boss Enzo Maresca Warns Pedro Neto: “Your Goal Tally Must Improve!”
Ahead of a must-win clash against Everton, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has publicly challenged £51m signing Pedro Neto to raise his goal-scoring standards, warning that wingers at the club are expected to hit double-digit goals per season.
> The Situation:
Despite Neto’s impressive playmaking since arriving from Wolves, he’s netted just four Premier League goals, falling short of Maresca’s expectations.
> Maresca’s Words:
“Pedro’s important, but our wide players must deliver more goals. I expect around 10 goals from them,” said the Chelsea boss, hinting at possible lineup changes ahead of Saturday’s crunch tie at Stamford Bridge.
> The Bigger Picture:
Competition among Chelsea’s wingers is heating up — Neto, Noni Madueke (7 goals), and Tyrique George are battling for starting spots as Chelsea push for a top-five finish and a Champions League return.
