Pedro 'serenaded' by Chelsea teammates as Lampard confirms exit

Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has confirmed winger Pedro is departing the club.

The Spanish winger, 32, has been in and out of the team this season.

He is now joining AS Roma on a free transfer.

"Pedro has played his last game for the club," Lampard told Sky Sports.

"The lads have just pretty much serenaded him in the changing room and rightly so because of the career he has had generally and for this club.

"It was his last Premier League game, but the impact he has had here is huge. I want to say a big thanks to Peds and wish him well as he goes forward.

"He is here for the remainder of games, but a big player of the club leaves and the spirit of the club I saw afterwards was pretty special."
