Brighton agree club-record deal for Watford striker Joao Pedro

Brighton have agreed a deal in principle to sign Watford striker Joao Pedro in a club-record deal.

Rushhoursport understands the move for the 21-year-old Brazil forward will be completed in the summer when the transfer window reopens

It is expected to be a club-record fee for Brighton, eclipsing the signing of defender Adam Webster from Bristol City for around £20m in August 2019

Pedro has been with the Hornets since January 2020, but looks set to move on after two-and-a-half seasons.

Pedro, Watford's top scorer with 11 goals in 35 Championship games this campaign, is set to formally complete his move once the transfer window opens in June.
