Chelsea confirm �21m signing of Pedro from Barcelona after snatching the Spain ace away from rivals Manchester United.
Chelsea have today, August 20, completed the £21million signing of Pedro from Barcelona on a four-year deal. The Blues swooped with the Spanish winger on the brink of moving to Premier League rivals Manchester United.
The 28-year old expressed his delight upon arriving at Stamford Bridge after a year out of favour with the Catalan giants. He said before training with his new team-mates, ‘I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles. Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on.’
Pedro becomes Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho's fourth new signing of the summer after Asmir Begovic, Radamel Falcao and Abdul Baba Rahman. Below are photos from his first training session with his Spanish team-mates at Chelsea.
