Chelsea to sign new forward as £50m deal is agreed

Chelsea have agreed their second deal in 24 hours, with another new attacker set to join up with Enzo Maresca’s squad.

After signing Liam Delap earlier in June, Chelsea have still been in the market for another striker option to go alongside the former Ipswich man and Nicolas Jackson. They have been linked with the likes of Victor Osimhen and Hugo Ekitike, but in the last couple of weeks, they have settled on Joao Pedro as their main target.

And despite having competition from Newcastle, Chelsea have now managed to get their man.
