Arsenal legend believes Pedro is the perfect team-mate

Thierry Henry believes Chelsea are signing the ‘perfect team-mate’ in Pedro and he can’t believe Manchester United let him through their fingers.

It emerged yesterday that Louis Van Gaal had withdrawn his interest in the Barcelona star, leaving Chelsea front-runners to complete a deal with the Spaniard flying over to London in order to complete a medical.

United were in deep discussions with Barca for the previous few weeks, but they stalled at meeting his release clause worth just ÂŁ22million.

However, yesterday they officially withdrew their interest and it was then reported that the 28-year-old was flying over to England to complete a medical at Chelsea.

After hearing the news, Henry couldn’t believed The Red Devils allowed the winger to join their fierce-rivals after spending weeks talking to him.

Henry played with Pedro between 2008 and 2010 and he’s labelled him as the ‘perfect team-mate.’

Perfect Team-Mate

The Frenchman said: “The perfect team-mate, the perfect professional – he is that guy.

“He pressures from the front, but he’s also the player that any manager would love to have. You know what you’re going to get with Pedro, always 100 per cent.

“The way he plays, the way he trains, he doesn’t talk, he doesn’t create any problem for you, he’s a team player who had exactly what you would love to have as a team-mate, as a player, or if you’re the boss.”
