Joao Pedro says he was expecting a Chelsea move for a long time. The Brazilian forward revealed he was never in doubt about the move.
Pedro was confident of a Chelsea move
Joao Pedro has quickly become one of the standout names in Chelsea’s squad this season. Signed from Brighton for a hefty fee, the Brazilian striker has slotted straight into the starting XI. He looks like he was born to wear blue.
Speaking on Premier League’s Welcome to the Weekend, he admitted this week that the transfer never came as a shock. He explained that he always had the feeling Chelsea would come for him. Pedro has played from his first PL game in a Chelsea shirt like somebody who belongs there.
His arrival coincided with a time when the Blues were coming under fire for not working on their weak defense. But, now Pedro has eased any reservations. He has brought in energy, movement and most importantly, goals. His talent makes him the type of forward the West London side’s fans have been crying out for.
A natural fit for Blues’ plan
What is most impressive about Pedro isn’t just his skill, but how calmly he has stepped up. Many young players struggle with a move to Chelsea. But, under head coach Enzo Maresca, Pedro has stepped up with composure in front of goal.
The striker is only twenty-two years old and has the skill set complimented by the mentality to flourish for years to come. Chelsea’s move has paid off. Pedro also had his own belief that this transfer was always meant to be.
Author’s Opinion:
Joao Pedro hasn’t just arrived at Chelsea, he has stamped his authority in the squad. If he keeps this up, blues’ fans will look back at his £60m price tag as a bargain.
