Chelsea striker Joao Pedro has downplayed the competition with Liam Delap for the club’s No. 9 shirt.
Pedro, who signed for Chelsea from Brighton for £60m during the Club World Cup in July and who went on to score in the final against PSG, has impressed since arriving.
The 23-year-old has five goals in his last five games, including two at home against Bayer Leverkusen and Milan.
Speaking with the club’s website, Pedro insisted that there is no feeling of competition with Delap after both players found the net as Chelsea thrashed AC Milan 4-1 at Stamford Bridge.

“Like I said when I came, Chelsea have a brilliant team, a young team, so it makes it easy for me to come and do my best with them,” he told the media.
“I don’t want to say competition, I think it is very good for Chelsea to have two strikers of a very good level. Last game he (Delap) did not score, today he scored two goals. I am very happy for him.”
Chelsea will begin their new season on Sunday, hosting Crystal Palace in their Premier League opener at Stamford Bridge.
