We're still in the very early stages of the current 2015/2016 season of the Barclays Premier League, but we can still expect some big transfers in the last days of summer. As Chelsea FC fights to regain some leadership in the standings, Jose Mourninho's team could see help from Barcelona's Pedro "Pedrito" Eliezer Rodríguez Ledesma because he's allegedly in talks to sing with the defending champions soon, joining the team right behind this summer's latest signing, Baba Rahman.

According to reports, Pedro is flying to London this week to finalize his deal with Chelsea, which sees the winger leaving Barcelona for a fee of almost $33 million (via BBC). Apparently, Manchester United was interested in the winger as well, but the Spanish national was keen on joining Chelsea this year.
How will Mourinho rework his starting eleven with these new signings? Some are saying Ramirez could suffer from the Pedro signing, with Juan Cuadrado "expected to leave" the team this season, according to The Daily Mail.
Chelsea won't stop with this transfer, though. More reports are saying the team is eying Everton defender John Stones in an almost $47 bid! It looks like Chelsea is trying to rebuild a squad this season!
The Rahman signing could mean less time for Branislav Ivanović and if Stones signs, captain John Terry will have to adjust.
