Chelsea head coach Liam Rosenior has praised Joao Pedro as a world-class talent, asserting he would not trade the in-form Brazilian for any other striker following his recent hat-trick against Aston Villa.
Liam Rosenior has hailed Joao Pedro as a “world-class” talent following the striker’s impressive tally of ten goals in fourteen matches.
Ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup clash against Wrexham, Rosenior compared his leading man to elite peers like Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe.
The head coach stated, “I wouldn’t swap Joao for anyone in this moment to be honest,” citing his exceptional attributes.
Despite the Brazilian’s 20-goal total this season, Rosenior insists the 24-year-old still has significant room for growth.
He noted that Pedro’s age allows for further development, adding, “I know there are a lot of things he can improve on.”
Whether Pedro starts today remains uncertain as Rosenior considers rotation, but the focus remains on securing Chelsea’s first FA Cup trophy since 2018.
