Joao Pedro backed for shock Arsenal move

Former Premier League striker Keinan Davis has backed Joao Pedro for a shock move to Arsenal, praising the Chelsea striker's exceptional quality.

Joao Pedro, who joined Chelsea from Brighton last summer for up to £60m, has impressed with 14 league goals this season. The Brazil international has elevated his performance under Liam Rosenior, scoring 11 goals in 2026.

Davis, who played alongside Pedro at Watford, believes the 24-year-old has the quality to make big steps in his career. 'You could definitely see that you can move on to make big steps,' Davis told talkSPORT. 'Even if he went to Arsenal or something like that, I wouldn't be surprised.'
