Azpilicueta: Pedro is lethal in front of goal

Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta has revealed that Spanish international winger Pedro is the club’s most lethal player in front of goal.

As reported on Football London, the club’s top scorer this season is Belgian playmaker Eden Hazard.

However, Maurizio Sarri’s side have had some problems in front of goal and they have hit the woodwork more times than any other Premier League club so far this season.

However, Azpilicueta has been impressed with the manner that Pedro works in training, before reproducing his form into matches.

He said:

Training is a very important part of our job and recently everyone has been training hard and trying to get in the best possible shape for the games.

If I had to name one good moment then Pedro in front of goal, he makes the difference and you see when it comes to the game the way he trains, he repeats it in the game.

Pedro has scored eight goals in the top flight this season and one more goal will see him equal his best ever league return for the club. 

matchday.
