Moises Caicedo names Joao Pedro as most underrated player

Pedro has been in brilliant form since the arrival of Liam Rosenior at the start of the year, and is absolutely in the conversation to be signing of the season.

The Brazil international has established himself as Chelsea’s number nine, and arguably the most in form player in the league currently.

Rosenior claimed Pedro is currently on the same level as Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane, and now Caicedo has named him as the most underrated player at the club.

“Joao Pedro,” he told Sky Sports.

“People don’t know how good he is. So, for me, he’s one of the best, not just in the Premier League, but in the world because of his movements, how he plays, how he scores.

“He has everything for me as a striker.”
