Brighton forward João Pedro caught the eye of two Premier League clubs — Chelsea and Newcastle. Now, he has made his decision.
Details: Insider Fabrizio Romano has delivered his legendary "Here we go!" regarding the striker's transfer to Chelsea. The London club will pay £50 million for him.
Already on Tuesday, July 1, the player will fly in for his medical and to sign the contract. Pedro will be ready to take part in the Club World Cup.
Moreover, UOL Esporte reported that Newcastle also managed to reach an agreement with Brighton over the transfer. However, the decisive factor was João Pedro's personal desire — he wanted to join Chelsea and no other club.
Reminder: Aston Villa offered Chelsea the chance to buy Emiliano Martínez for £45 million. Although the Blues have the option, the goalkeeper himself is not interested in the move.
