“I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea,’ Joao Pedro said. ‘I always dreamed of playing for a big club, and it means a lot to me to give my long-term commitment to this club. Chelsea has a long tradition of winning and it has big ambitions for the future,” Pedro said after signing the countract.
“I have a very good relationship with everyone here at the club and I have felt at home here in London from the moment that I joined,” he added.
‘Everyone is very excited for this season. We know we can achieve a lot of things, we have a great team, we have a coach who wants to win and has won already. I am fully committed, everyone is ready and hopefully we can achieve our targets.’
Signed from Brighton and Hove Albion last year, Pedro scored 20 goals in all competitions.
