Pedro joined Brighton from Chelsea last summer in a deal worth up to £60m, and has had a successful first season at Stamford Bridge.

The Brazil international has scored 19 goals in all competitions, with 14 of those coming in the Premier League, and he’s got five games left to add to his tally.

Chelsea insist Joao Pedro isn’t for sale amid Barcelona interest

Pedro has easily fought off competition from Liam Delap to make the number nine shirt his own this season, and he can still become the first Chelsea striker to score 20 league goals in a season since Diego Costa.

More competition will arrive this summer in the shape of Emmanuel Emegha, whilst Nicolas Jackson will return from Bayern Munich, but it’s unclear if he’ll be part of the squad next season.

The 24-year-old’s form hasn’t gone unnoticed, and Barcelona have reportedly shown an interest in Pedro, as a plan B to Julian Alvarez.

Former Barcelona scout Bojan Krkic senior feels Pedro would be a great fit for the Barcelona system, but ESPN Brazil have reported Chelsea have made it clear he’s not for sale this summer.

The report adds he’s valued at around €100m, and Pedro himself isn’t thinking about leaving Stamford Bridge after one season.
