There’s a fierce competition brewing at Chelsea for the right-wing position. Current frontrunner under manager Xabi Alonso is Pedro Neto, who has racked up four goal contributions in seven appearances. However, talented youngsters Estevao and Giovanni Kenda are also pushing for a chance, with ambitions that require game time.
Former Chelsea winger Florent Malouda has weighed in on the discussion, suggesting that neither Estevao nor Kenda have yet earned their place in the Blues' starting lineup.
In order to truly prove their readiness to compete at Chelsea, young players need real experience playing at a high level in England — a loan to another club in the league would be the best solution for them to gain strength and demonstrate their worth at the senior level.
