Chelsea have officially tied Pedro to a new contract that keeps him at the club until 2020, according to a statement on the club’s official website.
This ends speculation around the the future of Pedro, as reports had it that he could leave the club for more minutes this summer. Pedro started only 17 Premier League games last season and was believed to be on his way out, but the Blues’ new coach seems to have breathed more fire in him this preseason.
The Spain international has been a live wire for Maurizio Sarri this off season and has shown promise of being a reliable player under the new head coach at the club. He scored in games against Perth Glory and Inter Milan to give strong hints he may have absorbed the style of football Sarri is introducing at the club.
Pedro admits to his joy at signing this new deal and wants to keep improving at teh club.
It is very good for me, I am really happy here in the club, with my team-mates, the supporters and the club in general.
It’s important for me to continue with Chelsea, I am comfortable here and want to win new titles and trophies. I want to help the team, score goals, and I repeat, I am really happy.
Pedro, Chelsea FC
The former Barcelona forward has scored 28 goals in 131 appearances at the club since joining from the La Liga in the summer of 2015.
