Pedro arrived at Chelsea in the summer of 2015 and scored on his debut against West Bromwich Albion.
The Spaniard was outstanding in his second season at Stamford Bridge, netting 13 goals in all competitions including memorable long-range stunners against Tottenham, Bournemouth and Everton, twice being awarded the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award.
He featured 35 times in the Premier League as they lifted the title in style.
Last season, the 31-year-old added an FA Cup winner’s medal to his extensive collection, and it was he who nodded in the deciding goal at Leicester in a tense quarter-final success in that competition.
Pedro has played 131 times for Chelsea so far, scoring 28 goals. He has begun the current pre-season in fine form, netting in our games against Perth Glory and Inter Milan.
