Joao Pedro has been voted Chelsea FC Men’s Player of the Season after an outstanding 2025/26 campaign.
The Brazilian forward won the fan vote comfortably after scoring 20 goals and providing 9 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
Pedro quickly became one of Chelsea’s most important players following his move from Brighton & Hove Albion F.C., producing big performances throughout the season and helping the club win the Club World Cup.
The award arrived just hours after the 24-year-old was surprisingly left out of Brazil’s World Cup squad, a decision that shocked many fans.
Pedro later shared a calm message on social media, speaking about the “joys and frustrations” of football while thanking supporters for their backing.
Many Chelsea fans were quick to defend him online, believing his performances this season deserved international recognition.
