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.

Below is an in‑depth look at Neto’s statistical contributions across all competitions up to 26 October 2024.

Overall Appearances and Minutes
