João Pedro and Rayan shine in the Premier League, become Brazil’s new hope | 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 achievement.

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

It's worth remembering that João Pedro, a Fluminense youth academy product, 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, just 19 years old, was decisive in Bournemouth's 2-1 away win over Everton.

The striker, a product of Vasco, has now been involved in goals for the third consecutive match in his first Premier League appearances.

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

Thus, Rayan joins a small but very impressive 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 reinforce their talent and personality.

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