João Pedro and Rayan shine in the Premier League, raise hopes in Brazil | OneFootball

Brazil continues to shine in the Premier League this 2025/26 season.

João Pedro, for example, scored again in Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Leeds at Stamford Bridge.

The 24-year-old Brazilian striker has now scored more than 10 goals in consecutive Premier League seasons. A rare feat.

According to Opta data, only Firmino, Richarlison, and Matheus Cunha had achieved this before.

It’s worth remembering that João Pedro, who came up through Fluminense’s youth academy, was decisive in the Blues’ Club World Cup 2025 title campaign in the United States, even scoring against Tricolor in the semifinal.

Another young Brazilian also stole the spotlight this round. Rayan, only 19 years old, was decisive in Bournemouth’s 2-1 away win over Everton.

The striker, a product of Vasco, has contributed to goals in three consecutive matches in his first appearances in the Premier League.

Again according to Opta, only Robbie Keane and Anthony Martial had managed something similar while under 19.

Thus, Rayan joins a small but very distinguished group.

Different games, different contexts, but the same message.

The new Brazilian generation continues to make its mark in the Premier League, with immediate impact and numbers that highlight talent and personality.

And, of course, giving Carlo Ancelotti something to think about as he finalizes the squad list for the 2026 World Cup.
