The Brazilian scored 23 goals in all competitions to finish as Chelsea’s leading scorer, and has been in prolific form during the pre-season.

Barcelona expressed interest in signing Pedro earlier this summer, but a full agreement on a new contract has now been finalised. Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Pedro has put ‘pen to paper’ on the six-year deal, which includes a salary increase and an option to extend beyond 2032.

Chelsea consider Pedro a key part of their project with the forward set to spearhead Xabi Alonso’s new-look side in the upcoming campaign.

An official announcement on the new contract from Chelsea is expected imminently.
