Chelsea have secured the signing of Brazilian forward Joao Pedro from Brighton in a deal worth £60 million, adding firepower to their already crowded attacking line.
- Pedro signs a seven-year contract and could debut against Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup.
- Deal includes £55m upfront + £5m in add-ons; Newcastle and others previously failed with lower bids.
- Pedro scored 30 goals and 10 assists in 70 games for Brighton.
- His arrival follows the £55m signing of Jamie Gittens and earlier purchases of Liam Delap and Estevao Willian.
- Chelsea now expected to offload Nkunku, Sancho, Broja, Chukwuemeka, and Sterling to balance squad depth.
Are Chelsea rebuilding or simply stockpiling talent? In a transfer market driven by big money, the lines between strategy and splurge are growing blurry.
