Brighton’s intention last summer was presumably for Joao Pedro to replace Danny Welbeck over the course of 2024-25.
It has been a weird season for the Brazilian, who has definitely influenced the team in a positive way but also only has five non-penalty goals in an attacking team. There are entire periods of matches when you can’t work out how he will ever score again – including snatched finishing. Just as you think that you have him worked out, he will do something that makes him impossible to defend against.
He also turns 24 later this year, so the excuses for the gap between Pedro’s best and worst become harder to stomach. Football managers love control. Brighton have a striker who seems very difficult to predict from one minute to the next, let alone rely upon to lead a line all season.
