Chelsea forward Pedro has signed a one-year contract extension, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2020.

The 31-year-old signed from Barcelona in the summer of 2015 and has scored 28 goals from 131 appearances for the Blues.

The Spain international helped Chelsea win the Premier League in 2017 under former head coach Antonio Conte, providing 13 league goals and 12 assists, and played a key role in their FA Cup victory last season.

He told the club's official website: "It is very good for me, I am really happy here in the club, with my team-mates, the supporters and the club in general.
