Brighton Football Club have made the arrival of promising Brazilian striker João Pedro official. The club had already confirmed the transfer a few weeks ago, but wanted to formally present the new signing to their enthusiastic fans.
Pedro arrives at Brighton from Championship side Watford, where he has played since 2020. The Seagulls made a significant investment of 34 million euros to secure the services of the talented young player, making him the club’s record signing. Brighton’s technical director, David Weir, expressed his satisfaction at welcoming Pedro to the team, stressing his belief that the striker will greatly increase their attacking capacity. In addition, Pedro’s arrival strengthens the team as it prepares for its first European tournament next season.
Pedro, who has signed a contract with Brighton until 2028, expressed his excitement at joining the Premier League side and his desire to contribute to the team’s future success. Brighton had an exceptional season, qualifying for European competition for the first time under the guidance of coach Roberto De Zerbi.
With the departure of Alexis Mac Allister, Brighton’s board ensured that they would make a significant signing to maintain a competitive squad. As the team prepares for the 2023-24 Europa League campaign, Pedro’s arrival demonstrates the club’s ambition to make an impact on the continental stage. Last season, the Brazilian striker showed his skills by scoring 11 goals in 35 league games.
Brighton fans look forward to João Pedro’s contributions to the team as it continues to build a strong and formidable presence in English and European soccer.
