  • Story Text: British bookmakers on Wednesday (August 19) suspended betting on Spain forward Pedro signing for Chelsea from Barcelona.
    The 28-year-old has been a target for Manchester United, but British media have reported that the club pulled out of the deal and Chelsea have tabled an offer of 21 million pounds ($32.9 million) to bring him to Stamford Bridge.
    Pedro, who played more than 200 games for Barca and has 51 caps, is travelling to London to complete the transfer, the reports said.
    He would be Chelsea's second signing in less than a week after Augsburg defender Baba Rahman, the Ghanaian costing 21.7 million pounds.
