He joins the squad immediately ahead of the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final against Palmeiras.
๐ฃ๏ธ ๐๐๐๐ซ๐จ ๐จ๐ง ๐ฃ๐จ๐ข๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ฅ๐ฌ๐๐:
โEveryone knows this is a big club with a great history.
โThey had brilliant players in the past and have brilliant players now. So I am excited to join and you know when you are a Chelsea player you must think one thing โ win.โ
A product of Brazilian giants Fluminense, Joao Pedro first emerged as a teenager with flair and a natural eye for goal. He netted 10 times in 36 games for the Rio club before making the leap to English football.
His journey continued at Watford, where he impressed across four seasons with 109 appearances, 24 goals, occasionally wearing the captainโs armband during the 2022/23 campaign โ all before turning 22.
In 2023, Joao Pedro signed for Brighton and made an instant impact. He scored on his debut and went on to deliver a standout campaign with 19 goals in all competitions, finishing as the Seagullsโ joint-top scorer.
A versatile forward, Joรฃo brings top-flight experience having also represented Brazil on the international stage with three caps, the most recent coming in a 2โ1 win over Colombia.

@Bayern_Munich have added Chelsea defender Renato Veiga high on a potential 4-man centre-back shortlist.
Any incoming in the position will depend on Kim min-Jaeโs exit and also the timing of the negotiations.
There are several clubs keen on Veiga, who can leave the Blues on a permanent basis this summer.
