Chelsea, un club que no escatima en el gasto, anunció la adquisición de João Pedro el 2 de julio. Los seis veces campeones de la Liga Premier y dos veces campeones de Europa desembolsaron 60 millones de libras (82 millones de dólares) por el atacante.

João Pedro scored twice, just six days after signing for Chelsea, as his new team booked its spot in the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 2-0 victory over Fluminense at MetLife Stadium on Tuesday.

João Pedro was a Brighton striker. Last decade, he spent eight years in the youth academy at Fluminense. On Tuesday, he beat Fluminense in a Club World Cup semifinal playing for Chelsea.
