🔎 Why It Matters

Strategic Goals: Pedro adds quality and depth to Enzo Maresca’s attacking setup with his pace, physicality, and ability to play across the frontline.

Brighton Connection: He becomes the fourth major Brighton player to join Chelsea in recent years (after Caicedo, Cucurella, Sanchez), part of a near-£300 million talent pipeline.

Big Risk, Big Reward: At 23, Pedro brings promise but has shown flashes of disciplinary issues—something Chelsea will need to manage carefully.
