Chelsea have reportedly added Brighton ace Joao Pedro to their lengthy shortlist of potential forward signings in the summer transfer window.
Per Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea have identified Pedro, 23, as a key target as they seek to bring more attacking options to Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea have been on the lookout for a striker and a left-winger since the end of 2024-25 and could now be set to splash £70 million on the Brazilian.
Pedro is expected to leave Brighton after a couple of impressive seasons at the club, in which he scored 30 goals and provided ten assists in 70 games across all competitions.
A deal won’t be simple, however. Newcastle are also understood to be highly interested in Pedro having nearly signed him from Watford before he ultimately headed to the South Coast.
