Hitmen Pedro and Derap give Reece title vibes

- by MARK MANN-BRYANS

REECE JAMES is thrilled Chelsea’s new forwards look like being world-beaters.

Both Joao Pedro and Liam Delap hit the back of the net in an eye-catching friendly win over AC Milan. Pedro has now struck five goals in as many games for the Blues, who beat 10-man Milan 4-1 in their final warm-up before their Premier League season gets under way against Crystal Palace next weekend.

Pedro struck after Andrei Coubis’ own goal, with fellow forward Liam Delap coming off the bench to score either side of Youssouf Fofana's consolation effort for Milan.

Skipper James was left pleased with the attacking talent at Enzo Maresca’s disposal after a busy summer.
