Pedro, 23, has scored 30 goals in 70 matches since joining Brighton. Chelsea have other names on their shortlist, however, with RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko and Liam Delap both being monitored, while Arsenal are strongly linked to Sporting CP's Viktor Gyökeres.
- Barcelona are keeping a close eye on Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García and could rival Arsenal for his signature, according to Diario AS. The 24-year-old has made the most saves in LaLiga this season (138), only behind Brentford's Mark Flekken (144) in the top leagues.
