Brighton F.C. is delighted to announce that they have confirmed the signing of Watford forward Joao Pedro for £30 million, breaking their transfer record in the process.

The Brazilian will move to the Amex in the summer on a five-year contract having been top scorer for the Hornets in the current Championship campaign with 11 goals from 35 appearances.

With the confirmation, the signing has surpassed the £20m paid to Bristol City for Adam Webster back in 2019.

Joao Pedro was previously a target for Newcastle United while he was also of interest to Serie A giants AC Milan.

Despite relegation from the Premier League at the end of last season, Watford extended Joao Pedro's contract by another year.

Since joining Watford in 2020 from Brazilian club Fluminense, Joao Pedro has appeared 109 times and scored 24 goals.
