In his first five matches as a starter, the Brazilian was able to score five goals. This impressive note makes many parties judge it does not take long to adapt.

However, when he first came to Chelsea, Joao Pedro actually thought more about how he would be accepted by team-mates, especially Cole Palmer.

Live in London and an important role in the squad

With enthusiasm, ambition, and contribution that was seen from the start, Joao Pedro was clearly one of the players to be considered in this soccer season. Chelsea hopes that his presence can bring a new glory at Stamford Bridge.
