Chelsea have signed João Pedro from Brighton & Hove Albion, the clubs have announced.
Sources have told ESPN that Pedro preferred a move to Stamford Bridge amid interest from Newcastle. The 23-year old has signed a seven-year contract after the clubs agreed a £60 million ($82m) deal.
Pedro scored 30 goals and registered 10 assists over a two-year spell at the Amex.
He is expected to battle for a starting spot with fellow new recruit Liam Delap.
