Official: Pedro Dumps Manchester United to Complete Chelsea Switch
Chelsea have finally signed Spain forward Pedro from Barcelona for £21million. The BBC reports that Chelsea and Barcelona have agreed terms and the deal stroked. Which means Pedro now belongs to Chelsea.
The 28-year-old has agreed a four year deal and is the Blues' second signing in less than a week after the arrival of Ghana defender Baba Rahman.
"I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles," the BBc quoted the winger as saying on the club's website.
"Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on."
Pedro, who was a target of Manchester United, is a product of the Catalan club's academy and has scored 99 goals in 326 appearances since his debut in 2008. He made 50 appearances for the European Champions last season and has won the Champions League three times, scoring a goal in the 2011 final against United, as well as five La Liga tittles.
He also won the World cup and European Championship with Spain in 2010 and 2012 respectively. Pedro made three appearances for Barcelona this season and came off the bench to score the winner in the club 5-4 UEFA Super Cup victory over fellow Spanish Side Sevilla.
Pedro's profile defined his quality and he has been tipped to succeed at Chelsea. Big lose to United, Big gain to Chelsea.
