Joao Pedro is an interesting shout. I need to watch more of his highlights/every touch clips from the last two years but I was impressed with him last year in the limited looks I got from watching Brighton. He reminded me a bit of a bigger Gabriel Jesus but I may be off base there. He also seems like a bit of a late developer as I remember him joining from Watford but then taking a decent amount of time to start making an impact at Brighton (initially I thought he was a flop but admittedly wasn’t watching him game in and game out). The game I remember from this year was against Palace where he scored a great goal combining with a midfielder outside of the box before scoring on a first time trivela finish. If that’s the type of player he is, there’s definitely a spot for him in our attack. But I worry that his production is stunted by him being a penalty merchant as I seem to remember him scoring quite a few this year.
Interested if anyone else has seen a lot of him and if he’d be a good option here. I’d imagine his price would be close to 50m.
