However, Pedro will face competition from Liam Delap and Nicolas Jackson. Ally McCoist predicted Joao Pedro would be Chelsea's most prominent rookie next season, he said:
“Joao Pedro will be a great contract for Chelsea, it is a good deal with the Blues. Honestly, I think Pedro will be a good contract but after witnessing his start, he may be a great contract for Chelsea.
He has the qualities of a top attacker, he technique and speed. He had time to play in the Premier League, I thought he would be Chelsea's most prominent rookie in the 2025/26 season.
