Chelsea forward Pedro confirms he has offers to leave in January

Pedro has confirmed that he has offers to leave Chelsea in January amid reported interest from Aston Villa.

The Spaniard, whose contract expires at the end of this season, has only made one start in the past two months under Frank Lampard.

Reports have claimed that Villa had pinpointed the forward as a potential target ahead of the January transfer window.

Speaking about whether he had been approached by potential suitors, Pedro told Radio Club Tenerife: "Yes there are offers, there are always clubs that are interested and that is a joy. [Whether in Spain or elsewhere] that is good news.

"Nobody knows what can happen. I still have years to play but you're thinking about what things are going on. I'm running out of contract at Chelsea, I'm free and we'll see what happens."

Pedro's appearances this season have been significantly limited by the rise of Christian Pulisic along with Callum Hudson-Odoi's return from injury.
