Chelsea complete deal for Brighton's João Pedro | OneFootball

Premier League giants Chelsea continue to pad the ranks at Stamford Bridge this summer after officially completing a £60m deal for Brighton's João Pedro.

The 23-year-old Brazilian international has shone on the south coast for the Seagulls since arriving from Watford during the summer window ahead of the 2023-24 Premier League campaign.

Enzo Maresca's Blues, who have returned to the Champions League after finishing fourth in the 2024-25 season, have sought to add further firepower to the forward line under the Italian, with Pedro joining Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens in the arrivals queue.

Pedro hit 19 league goals in 58 appearances at the Amex across two seasons with Brighton while remaining a consistent performer under both Roberto De Zerbi and Fabian Hürzeler.
