Joao Pedro has joined Chelsea on an eight-year contract from Brighton and Hove Albion and cannot wait to get started in West London.
The forward became the latest player to swap the Seagulls for the Blues and could potentially make his debut for his new team on Saturday against Palmeiras in the Club World Cup.
Chelsea have the option of using Pedro in a number of positions, as the player is known for his versatility.
His record of 30 goals in 70 Brighton appearances across all competitions is an indication that he does know where the back of the net is.
Soon after signing for his new club, Pedro tried to endear himself to the fans through a post on Chelsea’s Instagram account.
When asked to name who he is most looking forward to playing with at Chelsea, Pedro responded with the names Moises Caicedo, Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandez.
