Chelsea have completed the signing of 23-year-old Brazilian João Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion.

Pedro arrives for a fee believed to be in the region of £60m, just two years after leaving Watford for a fee of around £35 million.

The forward joins Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens as the Blues‘ attacking signings this summer and will be looking to contest for a place in the starting XI.

This player analysis will cover Pedro’s strengths and weaknesses, in an attempt to understand why the Chelsea recruitment team value him so highly.

We will also consider what he may be able to offer a club that is vying so desperately to get back to Premier League glory.

Samuele Ricci is a 23-year-old midfielder who has joined AC Milan from Torino in a deal that will probably reach €25m.

I Rossoneri then had to wait until the arrival of their new sporting director, Igli Tare, to finalise the negotiations and agree on a very reasonable fee at the end of the day for a valuable player who can add a lot to Milan’s midfield in the long term.

It is important to note that Milan succeeded in winning the player’s services despite interest from different teams, most notably Manchester City, which emphasises the value of this promising midfielder.

In this tactical analysis and scout report on Ricci, I will be exploring the player’s characteristics and how he can be useful to Milan’s tactics.

The analysis will also shed light on how Massimiliano Allegri can use the player and develop his characteristics further, focusing on his actual weaknesses and possible improvements.
