Pedro signs new Chelsea contract

Spanish attacker Pedro has signed a one-year contract extension with Chelsea until the summer of 2020.

Pedro joined the Blues from Barcelona in the summer of 2015, and has won one Premier League title and one FA Cup during his time in the English capital.

The 31-year-old's previous deal was due to expire next summer, but he is now committed to Chelsea until the end of the 2019-2020 campaign.

"It is very good for me, I am really happy here in the club, with my teammates, the supporters and the club in general," Pedro told reporters.

"It's important for me to continue with Chelsea, I am comfortable here and want to win new titles and trophies. I want to help the team, score goals, and I repeat, I am really happy."

Club director Marina Granovskaia added: "We are very happy to secure Pedro's services for another year. Since becoming a Chelsea player he has regularly demonstrated his quality on the field and we look forward to seeing him continue to flourish under the guidance of Maurizio Sarri."

Pedro has scored 28 times in 131 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions.
