Pedro in action for Chelsea

With just 4 goals and 2 assists to his name, Spanish winger Pedro has failed to make a significant impact in the Premier League this season for Chelsea. His poor displays this term could have a significant impact on his hopes for a place in Spain's World Cup squad.

The former Barcelona winger will be eager to find his goalscoring touch and contest to be part of Julen Lopetegui's plans for a place in the Spanish national team. However, Pedro will have to quickly rediscover his form and put in captivating shifts to impress both Conte and Lopetegui in the second half of the campaign.

Pedro was a vital player in Chelsea's title-winning campaign last season and Spain could do with the player's experience and attacking ability. An impact player Pedro has a lot of competition for spots with Marco Asensio, Isco, Iago Aspas, Suso all probably ahead in the pecking order as it stands.
