AliousEPL Giants Plot Shock Swap Deal to Land Joao Pedro from Brighton
Chelsea are exploring the possibility of signing Brighton forward Joao Pedro in a sensational summer deal that could involve sending up to five first-team players in the opposite direction.
Following a standout Premier League season where Pedro notched 10 goals and six assists, the 23-year-old has attracted attention from top clubs, with Chelsea emerging as a leading suitor. Brighton are poised to cash in on their £30 million investment from last year, with his current valuation soaring to around £50 million.
According to *The Daily Mail*, Chelsea have already held internal talks about structuring a player-plus-cash offer, and several Stamford Bridge stars could be used as bargaining chips to bring the Brazilian to West London.
**Here are five potential players who could be included in the swap:**
**Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall** – Once on the brink of joining Brighton, the midfielder opted for Chelsea last summer in a £30 million switch. With limited playing time and only two league starts, he may be more receptive to a move this time around.
**Tosin Adarabioyo** – Brighton have long admired the central defender, and with only 14 league appearances this season, Tosin might be persuaded to make the move in search of a bigger role as he hits his prime.
**Levi Colwill** – A former Brighton loanee, the 22-year-old was a standout during his time at the Amex. Though still a Chelsea regular, his slightly diminished status might open the door for a dramatic return.
**Christopher Nkunku** – Though not previously linked with Brighton, the versatile attacker’s profile and output (14 goals in 42 appearances) mirror Pedro’s. Chelsea could use his strong resale value as part of a creative swap.
**Raheem Sterling** – Currently on loan at Arsenal, Sterling’s high wages and limited impact have Chelsea seeking an exit strategy. Brighton could view his experience and pedigree as valuable assets if the terms are right.
With internal talks already underway, Chelsea appear ready to get aggressive in the transfer market as they attempt to lure one of Brighton’s prized assets to Stamford Bridge—potentially reshaping both squads in the process.
