Confirmed! Chelsea make offciial statement as World Cup winner agrees to sign unti 2020

Chelsea have announces Spanish midfielder Pedro has signed a contract extension which will keep him at the club until 2020, and the winger is delighted with the deal.

Despite a struggling start to life at Stamford Bridge, Pedro has become an integral part of the first team set-up since his move from Barcelona back in the summer of 2015, scoring some important goals as he helped Chelsea win the Premier League title in 2017.

The 31-year-old signed has scored 28 goals from 131 appearances for the Blues and will now look to help Italian boss Maurizio Sarri settle into life in London by staying put, despite speculation team-mates Eden Hazard, Willian and Thibaut Courtois could all be leaving.

He told the club’s official website: “It is very good for me, I am really happy here in the club, with my team-mates, the supporters and the club in general.

“It’s important for me to continue with Chelsea, I am comfortable here and want to win new titles and trophies.

“I want to help the team, score goals, and I repeat, I am really happy.”

Club director Marina Granovskaia said: “We are very happy to secure Pedro’s services for another year.


“Since becoming a Chelsea player he has regularly demonstrated his quality on the field and we look forward to seeing him continue to flourish under the guidance of Maurizio Sarri.”
