Pedro Transfer to Arsenal Backed by Ex-Teammate

Former Premier League striker Keinan Davis has backed a potential transfer of Joao Pedro from Chelsea to Arsenal, stating he wouldn't be surprised by such a move.

Joao Pedro, who joined Chelsea from Brighton in a £60m deal last summer, has established himself as the club's first-choice striker with 14 league goals this season. The Brazil international has particularly impressed since Liam Rosenior's arrival, scoring 11 goals in 2026.

Speaking to talkSPORT, Davis, Pedro's former teammate at Watford, praised the 24-year-old's quality and Brazilian flair. 'Even if he went to Arsenal or something like that, I wouldn't be surprised. He's very good,' Davis said, suggesting Pedro could make 'big steps' in his career.
