Manchester United were lining him up. Chelsea signed him after a phone call from Jose Mourinho.
Pedro, the name on every football fan’s lips this week has all but guaranteed the back page headlines after a stunning debut, that included a first half goal and assist for the Blues.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:
