“I didn’t realise how good” – Colwill names “amazing” Chelsea player who’s shocked him at Club World Cup

Levi Colwill has expressed surprise at the quality of new Chelsea signing Joao Pedro, admitting he "didn’t realise how good the Brazilian actually was." Colwill is currently preparing with the squad for the Club World Cup final against Paris Saint-Germain and is available for selection after serving a suspension for the semi-final.

Chelsea's performance has improved as the tournament progressed, significantly boosted by their new signings. Liam Delap impressed and scored his first goal for the club, while Joao Pedro, registered for the knockout phase, has made an immediate impact.

Pedro, signed from Brighton for up to £60m, impressed as a substitute on his debut against Palmeiras. With Delap suspended for the semi-final against Fluminense, Pedro then "stole the show," scoring two brilliant goals to secure Chelsea's place in the final.

Colwill confirmed his admiration for Pedro's instant impact, stating directly: "I think he’s an amazing player."
