Chelsea legend Haselbaink praised his old club Chelsea's summer signing operations in an interview, and emphasized the value of the two signings of Joao Pedro and Garnacho.

Considering the transfer fee paid by Liverpool for Isaac, do you think Chelsea has made a good deal with Pedro?

Of course, I think so, but they are two completely different types of players. Joao Pedro is more like a No. 10 player, although he can also play No. 9. We've seen him compete in the center role, but Isaac is a completely different type of player.

Pedro did not have any stage fright after joining, and quickly integrated into the team, scoring several very critical goals. When a striker can score goals in a stalemate like 1-0 or 2-1, these goals are worth a thousand gold to them. If he can continue this performance, his future will be bright.

How do you evaluate Garnacho's signing?

Chelsea's plan is to introduce four wingers, and he is the fourth to arrive. He is an exciting player with direct and fast playing style, passes and shoots, and has rich experience in the Premier League.

Considering that he has accumulated rich game experience in the Premier League, Chelsea signed him for only Β£40 million.

Compare Ilanga, Isaac and many other high-priced transfers and you'll see how great Chelsea has done in this deal with Garnacho.
