Pedro Neto left Wolves last summer as one of two big-money exits – and the winger is closing in on his first full season at Chelsea.
The Portuguese completed a move to Stamford Bridge for a fee of just over £50 million.
Like with Ruben Neves before him, and probably Matheus Cunha this summer, an exit had been on the cards for a while.
In the end, the fee Wolves received was fair, given the injury problems Pedro Neto had had during his time at Molineux.
Given the influx of players at Chelsea in recent times, it was always going to be a challenge for Neto to really shine for the Blues.
And for the most part, Neto has not really been able to replicate the form he showed at Wolves – and one statistic has now emerged that may come as a surprise to Wolves fans.
Pedro Neto is regularly failing to beat his man for Chelsea – he’s now one of the Premier League’s worst dribblers
One thing Wolves fans always expected when watching Neto was for him to beat his man.
Neto possesses great speed and has a low centre of gravity, which makes him difficult for defenders to contain.
But this season, following his exit from Wolves, Neto has actually been struggling quite a bit with this part of his game.
As per WhoScored, surprisingly, Neto has a dribble success rate of just 29.9%.
Only Alejandro Garnacho (29.3%), and Gabriel Martinelli (29.7%) have worse success rates than that.
For some perspective, StatMuse data indicates that Neto had a dribble success rate of 45% in his final season at Wolves.
How Pedro Neto has fared in first season Chelsea after leaving Wolves
Neto has been fairly involved in his first season at Chelsea, making 39 appearances across all competitions for a total of 2353 minutes (60.3 minutes per match).
So far he’s scored six goals and made seven assists.
Neto has previously impressed Chelsea fans with his work rate, which was often never in question at Wolves.
But Chelsea fans have also criticised Neto, with some suggesting him as one of the club’s worst summer signings after a recent outing against Leicester City.
But there have been flashes of the player Wolves fans know all about, and that player made an appearance at the weekend, as he scored a late winner against Fulham at Craven Cottage.
Perhaps in his second season, having been used to the way Chelsea play, Neto will improve.
