Chelsea have officially confirmed that João Pedro has signed a new contract until 2034, committing his long-term future to the club.
The Brazilian forward expressed his happiness at extending his stay at Stamford Bridge and spoke about his ambition to help Chelsea return to the top.
I always dreamed of playing for a big club, and it means a lot to me to give my long-term commitment to this club.
João Pedro also highlighted his connection with the club and life in London since arriving.
I have a very good relationship with everyone here at the club and I have felt at home here in London from the moment that I joined.
The new contract further underlines Chelsea’s belief in the forward as a key part of their long-term project.
Softfootball previously confirmed that João Pedro had become the 12th player to wear Chelsea’s No.9 shirt since 2004 — a number that has developed a reputation among supporters as one of the most demanding shirts at Stamford Bridge.
After an impressive pre-season, including seven goals, João Pedro now has the opportunity to establish himself as the player who finally brings stability and success to Chelsea’s famous No.9 shirt.
