The urgency with which the Pedro deal was completed this week reflects the club’s belief that they were too slow to add new faces this summer, and have been punished for it with one point from their first two games. There is a will to make further signings, beyond that of John Stones from Everton, to make sure that Jose Mourinho has a highly-competitive squad to take into the season post-transfer window.
Stones will only be signed if the player is himself prepared to push to leave Everton, with Chelsea having raised their bid to £30m - what they believe is a fair price for the 21-year-old. In the past they have walked away from deals, most notably Wayne Rooney, when the impetus was not there from the player.
