Joao Pedro<\/a> received more than 60 per cent of the votes cast in our online poll, reflecting his consistent performances during the campaign and prowess in front of goal. Enzo Fernandez<\/a> placed second in the voting, with Moises Caicedo<\/a> third. <\/p>\n The Brazilian international will be presented with the 2025\/26 Player of the Season award ahead of this evening’s Premier League game against Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge. <\/p>\n Signed from Brighton and Hove Albion in July 2025, Joao Pedro made an immediate impact for the Blues at the FIFA Club World Cup, scoring twice in the semi-final and again in the final to help us win the inaugural revamped tournament. <\/p>\n His goalscoring form was maintained during the opening weeks of the 2025\/26 campaign, with the 24-year-old netting away to West Ham United and at home to Fulham. <\/p>\n He also struck the only goal as we claimed victory at Tottenham Hotspur in November and opened his Champions League account the following month with a close-range finish in our league phase fixture against Atalanta. <\/p>\n As the campaign has progressed, Joao Pedro has gone from strength to strength. He has scored 13 goals in his last 22 Chelsea appearances in all competitions, including a memorable brace away to Napoli in the Champions League and a hat-trick at Aston Villa, his first in the top flight. <\/p>\n His 49 appearances in all competitions this season is a total only bettered by Enzo Fernandez and Pedro Neto<\/a>, and Joao Pedro is just the 11th Chelsea player to have scored 20 goals during their first campaign at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era. <\/p>\n Our No.20 has been a provider, too. He has claimed five Premier League assists this term in addition to finding the net 15 times in the top flight. <\/p>\n
