Both Reece James and Malo Gusto are among the best right backs in the world, and when James was injured, Gusto proved to Chelsea fans just how good he is.
You can never invest in too much high-class youthful depth if the price is right, and although Chelsea are obviously not desperate for more quality at the right back position, as James’ injuries illustrate, you never know what the future holds.
Chelsea may be able to get Pedro Lima for about £10 million
Todd Boehly and the Chelsea project are reportedly interested in signing Pedro Lima, a highly regarded young right back in the world of football, as reported by Diario AS.
Along with Real Madrid and Barcelona, Chelsea has joined the list of clubs interested in the Brazilian sensation, Sport Recife, and has offered eight million euros to sign him.
Interestingly, there are huge vacancies at right back for both Real Madrid and Barcelona, although the Blaugrana’s need is more apparent.
Chelsea might benefit less from an RB than Real Madrid and Barcelona.While Real Madrid’s starting right back Dani Carvajal is on fire, Barcelona is debating whether to keep Joao Cancelo for another season or get a new player altogether because of the Portuguese international’s inconsistent play.
Even if Lima dоesn’t live up tо Chelsea’s standards, the club can still make a prоfit by selling him fоr a fee, therefоre it’s wоrth spending оnly eight milliоn eurоs оn a right back prоspect.

Pedro Lima is just 17 years old, so no one should expect him to be as great as Fede or Marcelo. Nevertheless, there must be a good reason why Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Chelsea are all interested in the fullback.
