Chelsea's new signing João Pedro will join Enzo Maresca's team in the United States for the FIFA Club World Cup.

The Brazilian international completed his move to the Blues from Brighton & Hove Albion in a deal worth £50 million on Sunday, June 29.

The 23-year-old opted to join the Blues despite keen interest from Premier League rivals Newcastle United.

The former Watford striker signed a seven-year deal with the London club.

According to reports, Pedro will be available for selection for the Blues on Thursday after completing his medical in Brazil last week.

Chelsea thrashed Benfica 4–1 after extra time to book their spot in the quarterfinals, where they will face Brazilian club Palmeiras.

Pedro's arrival means João Felix and Christopher Nkunku will leave Stamford Bridge this summer.
