Blues fans told what £60 million signing will bring to Chelsea after completing move
Joao Pedro has only just signed for CHELSEA – but former teammate Troy Deeney believes the Brazilian will make a very good impact at Stamford Bridge after making that big money move from Brighton this summer window.
Jamie Gittens has just signed, Liam Delap arrived at the start of the transfer window from Ipswich Town along with Mamadou Sarr from Strasbourg. Dario Essugo has also arrived from Sporting CP after a deal was struck in March with Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian will join up with his new teammates after the Club World Cup.
The club have agreed a deal worth £55m with £5m in add-ons with Brighton with Pedro departing after two seasons at the AMEX, and asked what we can expect from their new signing, Deeney told talkSPORT: ‘He’ll bring an intensity – that’s what Joao will bring. He’s obviously an exceptional football player.
‘We were just talking about the social media clips Chelsea have put up on training and he’s throwing his weight around already.’
‘He is all or nothing. I think the misconception is that he’s a troublemaker – he’s absolutely not that at all.
‘He’s passionate, he’s energetic, he wants to win and play every minute of every game, but I think at CHELSEA now you’re going to see the real Joao Pedro who is one that enjoys competition and believes he should be starting for Brazil.
‘I’ve seen this player since he was 18 years old, and the mentality has not changed one bit. it’s always been ‘I want to be the best; I want to play for my national team, and I want to be the new R9 (Ronaldo)’.’
