Joao Pedro has been named Chelsea’s Player of the Season, the club announced this afternoon. The summer signing picked up more than 60% of the fan vote.

The former Brighton man has bagged 20 goals and 6 assists in all competitions, enough to place him ahead of Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo in the final standings of the vote

JP’s season gets better and better despite team’s struggles

Looking back to November, the striker wouldn’t have been in most people’s top 3 favourites for the award. That shows what a strong second half of the campaign he had, and hopefully presages an even better second season at the club.

The Brazilian was one of the few players who really improved under Liam Rosenior, who got more out of him than Enzo Maresca was able to. We hope Xabi Alonso is able to see the difference in the striker’s usage under each coach and can take the lessons from the second half of JP’s impressive campaign. He should be a pillar of this team going forward.

In other news…

Enzo Maresca is going to replace Pep Guardiola at Man City, and that means Chelsea should get some compensation for their former manager.

Xabi Alonso has a “progressive” fitness coach who is going to bring something really new to the party at Cobham this summer according to reports.
