Chelsea got back to winning ways on the weekend.
Enzo Maresca's side took on Tottenham Hotspur away from home, and as they tend to do in this fixture, left with all three points.
From front to back, the Blues looked back to their best, and more importantly, Joao Pedro got back on the scoresheet.
The Brazilian has the quality to be a hugely important player for Chelsea, and one of the club's most exciting youngsters could help him one day reach Cole Palmer's numbers, and no, it's not Estevao.
Pedro's future at Chelsea
When Chelsea completed the £60m signing of Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion, there was plenty of understandable excitement, as sections of the fan base assumed the club had their new long-term number nine.
This idea was further reinforced during the pre-season, as Maresca started him up top for three consecutive games during the Club World Cup, during which he scored three goals.
However, things quickly changed once the season began, as following the first game against Crystal Palace, the manager played the 24-year-old as a second striker for two consecutive Premier League games, in which he scored two goals and provided two assists.
Unfortunately, following Liam Delap's hamstring injury, the former Brighton star was once again forced to lead the line.
So far, in the seven league games he has started there, he has scored just once and provided one assist.
Joao Pedro
In short, it has become abundantly clear that while hugely talented, the former Watford star is at his very best either as a second striker or a slightly more aggressive ten.
Now, for those fans who watched him on the south coast, this shouldn't have come as much of a surprise, as while he did make 16 appearances up top last season, he also made 12 between second striker, attacking midfield and left-wing.
So, if Maresca wants to get the most out of Pedro, he'll have to start him behind another striker, and fortunately, someone who might help him reach Palmer-levels is joining Chelsea for next season.
The player who could help Pedro reach Palmer-levels
Now, while someone like Estevao could help Pedro up his output in the coming seasons, the 18-year-old is undoubtedly at his best out wide.

Therefore, what the former Brighton ace needs is another prolific forward to come in and start ahead of him, someone who will help not only boost his assist numbers, but also his own goal tally.
Fortunately, Chelsea might have just the young talent to do just that, joining in the summer: Dastan Satpayev.
The Khazak phenom is set to join the Blues at the end of this season, and while he's still young and therefore a long way from the finished product, he looks like a superstar in the making.
With that said, why could he help Pedro put up Palmer-level numbers, though?
Well, simply put, while he can play in several positions, he is primarily a centre-forward, and a seriously exciting one at that.
For example, despite still being just 17 years old, the "future Ballon d'Or winner," as dubbed by one analyst, scored 16 goals and provided eight assists in 33 appearances, totalling 2409 minutes last season.

That works out to an incredible average of a goal involvement every 1.37 games, or every 100.37 minutes.
Just imagine a forward as dangerous as that competing for a place with Delap ahead of a Pedro who has had a year to get used to life at Stamford Bridge.
Ultimately, it's still early in his career, but if Satpayev is even half the player many believe him to be, then he could certainly help the former Brighton man reach the creative and goalscoring levels of Palmer in the near future.
