Manchester United fans won’t be happy.

It’s finally confirmed. For weeks now it seemed that Pedro was on this never-ending journey to Manchester to sign for the reds of Old Trafford.

That all started to unravel yesterday when there were reports of Louis Van Gaal having a change of heart and that Chelsea had registered their interest in the pacy winger.

Chelsea have just announced that Pedro has signed for them after passing a medical for a fee that could rise to £21.4m.

He told the official Chelsea website “I am very happy to be here. I am very excited to start my adventure at Chelsea and I am here to keep winning titles.

“Thanks to the club and the supporters for giving me the opportunity to put the blue shirt on.”
