The Brazilian forward joined the Blues in the summer from Brighton & Hove Albion and had a superb debut campaign in SW6, being voted by supporters as our men’s Player of the Season winner after netting over 20 goals.

He made an immediate impact for the Blues at the FIFA Club World Cup, scoring twice in the semi-final and again in the final to help us win the inaugural revamped tournament.

His goalscoring form was maintained during the opening weeks of the 2025/26 campaign, with the 24-year-old netting away to West Ham United and at home to Fulham.

He also struck the only goal as we claimed victory at Tottenham Hotspur in November and opened his Champions League account the following month with a close-range finish in our league phase fixture against Atalanta.

As the campaign has progressed, Joao Pedro has gone from strength to strength. He has scored 13 goals in his last 22 Chelsea appearances in all competitions, including a memorable brace away to Napoli in the Champions League and a hat-trick at Aston Villa, his first in the top flight.

Our No.20 has been a provider, too. He has claimed five Premier League assists this term in addition to finding the net 15 times.

Such was his impact that he was shortlisted for the Premier League award, where he will go up against Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Leeds, Sunderland’s Granit Xkaka, Man City attackers Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, Man United goalkeeper Senne Lammens, Bournemouth’s Adrian Truffert and Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres.

Good luck, Joao!
