Chelsea recently signed Joao Pedro from Brighton in a deal worth up to £60 million. As part of the transfer, Pedro has committed to an eight-year contract with the club.

The Fluminense youth product scored 30 goals in 70 games for Brighton, and the club is expected to make a profit of around £25 million from the sale.

Hurzeler commented on the deal, saying it is a good move for all parties involved. He believes it is an excellent deal for the club and a good return on the significant investment made in Pedro.

According to Hurzeler, Pedro's transfer gives him the opportunity to play in the Champions League this season and to solidify his position in the Brazil national team ahead of the World Cup next summer.

Hurzeler also expressed gratitude to Pedro for his service over the past two seasons and wished him the best for the future.

With Pedro's transfer, Chelsea's total spend on Brighton players has reached £260 million, marking a significant investment in the squad by manager Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea will face Palmeiras, a team from Pedro's home country, in the Club World Cup in Philadelphia on Saturday. This match may feature Pedro alongside other new additions to Chelsea's attack, such as Liam Delap and Jamie Gittens.
