Chelsea target Joao Pedro wants to live in London, according to Brighton & Hove teammate Igor Julio. The Blues have already signed Liam Delap from Ipswich Town this summer to strengthen their attack.
However, it is believed that the London giants are planning to add another No. 9 to their roster before the new season. Recent reports have suggested that Chelsea have their eyes on Pedro.
The 23-year-old registered 10 goals and seven assists from 30 games across competitions for the Seagulls in the 2024/25 campaign. His efforts have apparently turned heads at multiple clubs in the Premier League this summer.
Speaking to Trivela, Julio added that his countryman would be a good fit at Liverpool.
He continued:
Pedro is under contract at the Amex until 2028, and is likely to cost £60m.
Chelsea have set their sights on VfB Stuttgart striker Nick Woltemade, according to Bundesliga insider Christian Falk. The 23-year-old has scored 17 goals from 33 games across competitions for the German club in the 2024/25 campaign.
Woltemade scored five goals in five games in DFB Pokal, helping his team go all the way. His efforts have apparently turned heads at Stamford Bridge.
In his column for Caught Offside, Falk added that the Blues have already reached out to the player’s camp to discuss a deal.
It is believed that Arsenal and Liverpool are also interested in the German striker this summer.

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two. However, his all-time favorite footballer is Lionel Messi, and evidently, he feels Argentina’s glory in 2022 is his favorite FIFA World Cup moment for fulfilling his long-standing dream. He is also an ardent East Bengal fan.
Deepungsu has been a Manchester United supporter since the year 2000. Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life. Like the fiery Scot, Deepungsu also leaves no stone unturned when it comes to accuracy in articles and only relies on credible sources.
Despite believing in Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland to create an iconic rivalry, Deepungsu reckons no one can match the longevity of Messi and Ronaldo. He spends his leisure time writing about life on his blog, reading books, and playing the guitar.
