Pedro arrives in London for medicals ahead of Chelsea move

Chelsea have made a dramatic late £22million bid to steal Barcelona striker Pedro Rodiguez from underneath Manchester United's noses.

Pedro is now all set to join Chelseaand is already in London undergoing medicals.

It is said Chelsea have offered more cash up front while United wanted the deal to include further add-ons.

The Stamford Bridge club were locked in talks late yesterday evening with Barcelona over a deal for the 28-year-old Spain striker, who is unsettled at the Nou Camp, as manager Jose Mourinho steps up his hunt for a new striker.

Pedro came on to score the winner for Barca in the UEFA Super Cup final last week against Sevilla, but was furious that he was not in manager Luis Enrique's starting line-up with Neymar out injured.

Manchester City have also been linked with Pedro, but he looks poised to move to Stamford Bridge.
