How Brighton Forward Became A Target For Two Premier League Rivals
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - APRIL 12: Joao Pedro of Brighton & Hove Albion celebrates scoring his team's ... More first goal with teammates during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion FC and Leicester City FC at Amex Stadium on April 12, 2025 in Brighton, England. (Photo by) Joao Pedro enjoyed an excellent 2024/25 season. The Brazilian forward was a key figure for Brighton, registering 16 goals and assists in 27 Premier League appearances. These numbers were enough to attract the attention of Chelsea and Newcastle United with both clubs interested in signing Pedro this summer. Recent reports claim Chelsea and Newcastle have opened talks with Brighton over a move for the 23-year-old. Liverpool has also been mentioned as another club that could get involved in the race to sign Pedro who is ready to take the next step in his development. He is a high-potential attacker. Chelsea's forward #09 Liam Delap scores his team's second goal during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 ... More Group D football match between Tunis' Esperance Sportive de Tunis and England's Chelsea at the Lincoln Financial Field stadium in Philadelphia on June 24, 2025. (Photo by FRANCK FIFE / AFP) (Photo by FRANCK FIFE/AFP via Getty Images) Chelsea has already signed Liam Delap this summer with the young Englishman already making an impression for his new team at the 2025 Club World Cup. Newcastle, meanwhile, is intent on strengthening its forward line for the new season. After missing out on Bryan Mbeumo, Pedro has been identified as a target. Pedro isn't just a goal threat in and around the opposition penalty area. Indeed, the 23-year-old is extremely versatile and is comfortable playing a number of different roles across the forward line. Pedro operated as a centre forward for Brighton last season, but also as something of a number 10 behind a focal point up front. This is surely why Chelsea and Newcastle both want Pedro. Both teams already boast top-level centre forwards and so Pedro would be expected to fill in around the likes of Alexander Isak and Delap with Nicolas Jackson also a factor at Stamford Bridge. He would offer a lot of cover in various positions. BRENTFORD, ENGLAND - APRIL 19: Joao Pedro of Brighton & Hove Albion in action during the Premier ... More League match between Brentford FC and Brighton & Hove Albion FC at Gtech Community Stadium on April 19, 2025 in Brentford, England. (Photo by Vince Mignott/) As a modern forward, Pedro ticks a lot of boxes. He is comfortable with the ball at his feet. He can beat an opponent in the dribble. He can finish inside the area, and also outside of it. Pedro is position-less in the way he interprets his role in Brighton's fluid frontline and this makes him a good fit for countless teams at the elite level. Brighton reportedly wants more than £50m for its prize asset, reflecting the value of the Brazilian to the south coast outfit. The Seagulls have a reputation for being one of the smartest clubs in the Premier League and so Pedro will only leave the Amex Stadium if it suits the selling club. Brighton will need to find a replacement. Chelsea and Newcastle would both give Pedro a platform to prove his quality in the Champions League next season. The Brazilian is certainly good enough for this level and might even be targeting a starting place for his national team at the 2026 World Cup. This could be a pivotal summer in Pedro's career.

How much Chelsea will earn from Anjorin sale to Torino
How much Chelsea will earn from Anjorin sale to Torino More details are emerging on the Torino agreement for Tino Anjorin, as Empoli must give 40 per cent of the €5m fee to his old club Chelsea. As reported last night, the deal is done to snap up both Anjorin and his Empoli teammate Ardian Ismajli, who is a free agent after his contract was allowed to run down. Advertisement Sky Sport Italia now clarify that Torino are going to pay circa €5m to buy the attacking midfielder. Anjorin getting a new Italian experience EMPOLI, ITALY – MAY 10: Tino Anjorin of Empoli FC celebrates after scoring a goal during the Serie A match between Empoli and Parma at Stadio Carlo Castellani on May 10, 2025 in Empoli, Italy. (Photo by) Empoli are still making a healthy profit, but as part of the agreement that saw them snap up the player last year for free, they will owe his former club Chelsea a 40 per cent cut of the fee. That means the Tuscans are set to pocket €3m and Chelsea will get €2m from the sale. A product of the Chelsea youth academy, Anjorin also played for Lokomotiv Moscow, Huddersfield and Portsmouth before moving to Italy. He scored two goals with three assists in 22 Serie A games this season, but could not prevent Empoli's relegation. The English player is seen as the heir to Milan-bound Samuele Ricci.
