João Pedro returns to the Premier League
The former Fluminense, who arrived at Vicarage Road in 2020 for 11 million euros, got to know the Premier League before his team got relegated. Pedro played 31 games in the English first division, although he only registered three goals and one assist.
In the Championship, he was able to find more playing minutes and also matured as a player. Although he is still young, the attacker became a key player for his club and has 11 goals in 35 games this season.
