Watford legend Troy Deeney believes Chelsea’s new signing Joao Pedro will add much-needed intensity to the squad.
The Blues recently secured the services of the 23-year-old Brazilian forward from Brighton in a £60 million deal. Pedro impressed last season, scoring 10 Premier League goals for the Seagulls.
Speaking on talkSPORT, Deeney praised Pedro’s impact:
“He’ll bring intensity to the Chelsea squad. That’s what Joao Pedro offers. He’s an exceptional footballer.
