Pedro Neto’s Chelsea Stats This Season: A Detailed Breakdown
Portuguese winger Pedro Neto arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2024 with a reputation for pace, creativity, and a keen eye for goal. In his first full season in the Premier League, the 25‑year‑old has become a regular fixture in Mauricio Pochettino’s attacking line‑up. Below is an in‑depth look at Neto’s statistical contributions across all competitions up to 26 October 2024.
Overall Appearances and Minutes
Playing time is the foundation for any statistical analysis. Neto has featured in 31 matches this season, covering Premier League, UEFA Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup fixtures.
- Premier League: 22 appearances (19 starts, 3 as a substitute)

- FA Cup: 2 appearances (both starts)

Combined, he has logged 2,340 minutes on the pitch, averaging roughly 75 minutes per appearance. This level of involvement places him among Chelsea’s top‑five outfield players in terms of total minutes.

His goal‑per‑minute ratio stands at one goal every 234 minutes, an improvement over his 2023‑24 season with Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored once every 321 minutes. The increase reflects both a higher number of chances created and a more attacking role under Pochettino.
