Pedro impressed at Brighton and has shone at the start of his Chelsea career so far, playing a key role for Enzo Maresca's side as they won the Club World Cup in the summer. Numerous outlets have the Brazilian's transfer fee at just 60m, and though he's not as good as Isak, it's also surely a bit crazy to argue that the Sweden international is worth more than double.

"He knows I can help him, and I know he can help me. We have good chemistry on the pitch; I think he feels the same. Together, we can win more titles for Chelsea. Cole doesn't like to talk much, but we talk about how good the season can be if we link up. When I joined in the USA, he asked me how many goals I was going to score this season."

Perhaps the biggest insult for Fulham was that the first half was still going on when Chelsea finally broke through. They were into the ninth minute of added time when Enzo Fernandez delivered a corner, Joao Pedro leapt to score and Marco Silva was forced to accept that the footballing Gods were not on his side, but this is where the game is these days.
