Chelsea striker Joao Pedro recently interviewed the London Evening Standard and talked about why he didn't go to Newcastle.

Newcastle and Chelsea pursued Joao Pedro together this summer, but the player finally chose to join the Blues. In the interview, although Pedro did not clearly point out which team he rejected, he can know from past transfer information that it should be Newcastle.

Pedro said: "When I was playing in Brighton, I did miss London a little. At that time, I had the opportunity to join other clubs, but finally chose Chelsea because it was both a London giant, and I was sure that it was the right choice."

"I came to this giant at the right time, with the goal of being selected for the Brazil World Cup lineup. This team is very young. Everyone has long contracts and can compete together for a long time. After getting familiar with each other, we are more likely to win the championship trophy."
