Joao Pedro says Chelsea transfer has been ‘a dream’
Joao Pedro has said he has been living his ‘dream’ since signing for Chelsea last summer.
Pedro joined Chelsea from Brighton in a £60m deal last summer and has had an impressive debut campaign at Stamford Bridge.
The Brazilian scored a hat-trick as Chelsea climbed back into the Premier League’s top five with a 4-1 win at Champions League rivals Aston Villa on Wednesday night.
Pedro’s treble made it eight goals in his last eight Premier League appearances for the Blues, while the 24-year-old now has 17 in all competitions. His 14 goals in the Premier League is the best return of his career to date.
Speaking at full-time, Pedro said he is fulfilling his dreams by representing Chelsea on the biggest stages,
“It was a dream night for me,” he said.
“Since I joined Chelsea, I’ve been dreaming of these moments to play for a big team and get my hat-trick – and I think it was a perfect night to get my first hat-trick.
“We just need to keep moving forward. I’m just living my dream here. I’m very grateful to everyone who has helped me on my journey.”
