Pedro confirms he will leave Chelsea at end of the season

• The Chelsea no 11 has scored 43 goals in 201 appearances for the West London club.

Chelsea winger Pedro has confirmed that he will be leaving the club when his contract expires. 

The Spanish international’s future at the Stamford Bridge has long been doubt with Frank Lampard – Chelsea manager – often opted younger options this season.

He told Cadena Ser: "I’m terminating my contract, but right now it’s not the most important thing, nor have I stopped to think about it.

"The most important thing is for everyone to show solidarity. Whatever happens regarding my future will happen but right now is not important as we don't even know when we will return to training.

"We have been in quarantine because one of our players [Callum Hudson-Odoi] tested positive for coronavirus, he is now well and we are very happy for him."

The Chelsea no 11 has scored 43 goals in 201 appearances for the West London club. During his five-year run with the Blues, he has won the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.

The Blues did yesterday grant Willian, whose contract also expires this summer, compassionate leave to go and be with his wife and children back in his native Brazil.

Britain has now been struck by more than 8,000 confirmed cases, with Prime Minister Boris Johnson ordering an unprecedented three week lockdown.

The Premier League is suspended until at least April 30.
