Chelsea talisman João Pedro has revealed that his staunch belief in the club’s future was the underlying factor behind his decision to sign a contract extension in west London amid swirling interest from the likes of Arsenal and Barcelona.
Pedro came out of his debut season in west London with his reputation enhanced, which is no mean feat in a campaign which saw the Blues cycle through three managers and sink to 10th in the Premier League. The Brazilian was voted the club’s Player of the Season but still missed out on Carlo Ancelotti’s World Cup roster. That’s not to say that he had an uneventful off-season.
