Chelsea fans flooded social media on Friday, September 26, 2025, with birthday wishes for João Pedro Junqueira de Jesus, as the Brazilian forward marked his 24th birthday.
The wave of messages followed Chelsea’s official birthday post, with supporters praising Pedro’s quick impact since his summer move from Brighton & Hove Albion in July.
Pedro has been instrumental in Chelsea’s promising start to the season, netting four goals and providing two assists in seven Premier League appearances, helping the Blues secure 10 points from five matches and a current fourth place standing.
The celebrations come on the eve of Chelsea’s clash against Brighton at Stamford Bridge, a match that will see Pedro face his former club for the first time since lifting the FIFA Club World Cup earlier this year. Fans are anticipating another strong performance from the forward, who has quickly become a favorite at Stamford Bridge.
