Brighton have today confirmed they will sign Joao Pedro from Watford this summer.
This has got some sources like Football London excited because it suggests Chelsea and other teams interested in breakout star of the season Kaoru Mitoma could have an easier run at him. Perhaps just wishful thinking, but what else have we got right now?
The Japan international has racked up 10 goals and 7 assists and wowed the league with his dribbling skills. At the moment he looks like Noni Madueke with an end product.
But after being so brutally stung by the Seagulls both in the deal for Graham Potter and his staff, and then in the Marc Cucurella deal, are Chelsea really going to be happy sending more money to the AMEX? We have our doubts.
Plus, we’ve got more wingers than we know what to do with. Mitoma might be better than them all, but until we sell some, we can’t be signing more.
