Chelsea Morning Round-Up, Tuesday 20th October 2026: Pedro Neto Shines as Wing-Back in Everton Win

Chelsea picked up a 2-0 win away at Everton, with Pedro Neto earning rave reviews for his performance in a wing-back role, according to We Ain't Got No History's player ratings, who gave him an 8.8 and highlighted how far he's come since being quizzed on Sky's post-match coverage (We Ain't Got No History).

On the transfer front, the Evening Standard's live blog claims Chelsea have beaten Manchester United to a signing as clubs across the capital and beyond start ramping up their January planning, though as ever these reports should be treated as transfer talk rather than confirmed business (Evening Standard).

Elsewhere, Football.London has been tracking the progress of academy prospect Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, who is out on loan at Portsmouth and is said to have sent Xabi Alonso an 'awesome' message, with the report suggesting the young Hazard admirer is showing why he's rated so highly at Cobham (Football.London).
