Chelsea and Newcastle United are in competition to sign Brighton & Hove Albion forward Joao Pedro.

Chelsea’s strategy of signing 3-5 attacking players every summer and sticking them on 8 year contracts doesn’t suggest they have any confidence in their talent identification process
With the CL schedule, I think he would rotate a lot between striker and LW. From what I've read the idea is to get some more technical attackers who are good with the ball on the foot for the counter attack. Doesn't seem like it will matter as reports are now making it sound like he's going to join the Chelsea trade army
Allegedly Newcastle and Forest are close/have agreed to a deal for Elanga. Talk is in the 55mil range.
