 Chelsea have signed Joao Pedro from Brighton in a deal worth up to £60m. The 23-year-old has signed an eight-year deal and has flown to the USA to join Enzo Maresca\'s side at the Club World Cup. Pedro will be able to play for Chelsea at the tournament, as clubs are allowed to register players between June 27 and July 3. It means the Brazil international could make his Chelsea debut in the Club World Cup quarter-finals against Palmeiras on Friday in Philadelphia, with kick-off at 2am on Saturday.
