Joao Pedro has expressed confidence in his ability to deliver goals for Chelsea as the club’s primary striker following an impressive pre-season campaign. The Brazilian forward netted twice in Chelsea’s final warm-up fixture against Real Sociedad, extending his summer scoring tally to seven goals across multiple friendlies.
Pedro, who finished his inaugural season at Stamford Bridge with 23 goals and was named the club’s Player of the Season, has emphasized his commitment to the number nine role. While acknowledging his technical versatility allows him to operate in different areas of the pitch, he remains focused on his core responsibility of finding the back of the net and creating chances from various positions on the field.
The forward reflected on his first year at Chelsea, describing it as special due to winning the Club World Cup just days after joining the club. However, he acknowledged the team’s disappointing Premier League finish and expressed determination to achieve better results collectively this season. Pedro stated he feels settled at Chelsea and is eager to help the club pursue additional silverware while contributing significantly to their attacking play.
