Chelsea’s late winner against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup quarter-final saw them secure a place in the last four of the competition.

Enzo Maresca’s side now stand just two wins away from the trophy and a winners prize of around $125m.

This would certainly help boost their summer spending spree, although Maresca has already been busy during the tournament.

Indeed, Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Jamie Gittens and Mamadou Sarr have all made the move to the Blues recently.

The deals for Pedro and Gittens represent the biggest financial outlay, but will the pair live up to the hype?

What Chelsea paid to sign Joao Pedro and Jamie Gittens

Gittens has long been on the club’s radar. They had a bid rejected for him last month, but Maresca submitted an improved £48.5m offer which was accepted by Borussia Dortmund.

Last season, he registered 17 goal involvements in all competitions for the Bundesliga outfit. He fell out of favour once Niko Kovac became coach, but there is no doubt he will offer plenty to the Blues next term.

Pedro could also turn out to be a superb addition to the squad. He was more expensive than Gittens, with the Stamford Bridge side splashing £60m on the Brazilian.

He scored ten Premier League goals last season for Brighton and knows the top flight well, meaning the 23-year-old should settle in nicely at the club.

Should both these players perform at their best under Maresca next season, Chelsea will be a force to watch out for.

Especially when they already have a player who is worth more than the pair of them.

Chelsea have already struck gold on Estevao

Estevao played his final game for Palmeiras in the Club World Cup and fittingly, it came against Chelsea, the side he is set to join shortly.

The Blues agreed a £29m deal to sign the youngster last summer, but now the club will finally get to see him in action.

He netted against his future employers in the quarter-final defeat, giving the supporters a potential glimpse into the future.

Despite his tender age, the winger has made over 80 senior appearances for the Brazilian side, registering 42 goal contributions in the process.

The teenager has received some wonderful praise during the embryonic stages of his career thus far. Analyst Ben Mattinson believes he is a “future Ballon d’Or winner” while already going as far as to say that he is a “superstar” thanks to his early displays for Brazilian side Palmeiras.

According to the CIES Football Observatory, Estevao is currently valued at around €96m (£83m), which means he is worth more than both Gittens and Pedro based on their respective transfer fees.

This is staggering, especially considering the teenager has yet to play a game for Chelsea. Judging by his performance for Palmeiras against the Premier League side, he could turn out to be a truly wonderful signing.
