00:00What is it about Chelsea and Brighton? Why can Chelsea just not leave them alone?

00:04Joao Pedro joins the list of 14 different players and staff to make the move from the South Coast to Cobham.

00:10Since 2022, Graham Potter and co. all went to Sanford Bridge, where you've now got Mark Kukurea for £60m,

00:16Moises Caicedo for £115m, Robert Sanchez for £25m, and now of course Joao Pedro for £55m, potentially £60m.

00:25And that excludes as well other transfer targets that Chelsea have gone for in other windows that involve both Brighton and Chelsea.

00:32The fact that they've got all of their now scouts and recruitment staff, they're now looking in the same ponds,

00:37which coincides with signings like Cole Palmer, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall, and of course Datra Fafana, who didn't really work out.

00:43So four players, 10 key staff, £260m.

00:47By the way, Graham Potter's entire move there was the most expensive managerial move in history at the time.

00:51Chelsea have had their struggles of having an overload of players, their 12th place finish,

00:56but now they've won the Europa Conference League and they're starting to look back into the Champions League spots.

01:00Brighton are out of Europe, they're going through transition seasons year on year.
