Chelsea 'concerned Pedro will NOT sign a short-term contract until the end of the Premier League season' as Spaniard holds off putting pen to paper on new deal ahead of summer exit

Chelsea are concerned that Pedro may not agree to a short-term deal until the end of the season, according to reports.

The 32-year-old wideman was previously thought to have agreed to remain with the club for their nine remaining Premier League games - and is set to depart at the end of the month when his contract expires.

However, as reported in The Sun, Pedro is hesitating over penning fresh terms out of 'solidarity' with team-mate Willian.
