WOW PEDRO

Blues' new boy fires double as Maresca stars beat the Flu

EIGHT days ago Joao Pedro was sunning himself on a beach in Rio.

But Pedro looks even more at home in his new surroundings at the Club World Cup after his brace put Chelsea into Sunday's final in the MetLife Stadium.

The Brazil striker scored his first goals for the club and his £60million transfer fee is already beginning to pay off.

Chelsea have banked themselves an extra £21.9m by reaching the final - that brings them up to over £60m in prize money from this tournament - and appear to have got themselves a fantastic deal with their latest big-money signing.

Pedro is doing his best to recoup his own transfer fee as the eventual winners get a £97m jackpot.
