Chelsea Hijack Perdo From United

Barcelona has confirmed that Pedro missed Thursday morning's training session to complete his move to Chelsea. 

The Spanish international previously appeared to be on his way to Manchester United but their unwillingness to match Barca's 30million euro asking price left the 28years old considering other options.

Chelsea then made a late bid to hijack United's move for Pedro and he is now poised to continue his career at Stamford Bridge. The versatile attacker has made over 300 appearances in all competitions for Barcelona since making his first team debut 2007/2008 Season but the arrival of players such as Neymar and Luis Suarez in recent years saw him struggling for game time under Luis Enrique.  

Pedro will be Chelsea’s fourth signing of the summer after the previous arrivals of Asmir Begovic, Radamel Falcao and Baba Rahman.
