| Cesc Fabregas' girlfriend helped persuade Pedro to join Chelsea |
PEDRO was persuaded to choose Chelsea over Manchester United by Cesc Fabregas' wife, according to reports.
The 28-year-old is set to complete a stunning £22million move to the Blues imminently after jetting into London for a medical.
Manchester United thought they had their man after agreeing personal terms.
But Pedro looks set to become Jose Mourinho's marquee signing of the summer.
The Daily Telegraph have claimed that Fabregas' girlfriend, Daniella Semaan, made contact with Pedro's wife, Carolina Martin, over a move to Stamford Bridge.
And the report suggests that while Woodward was trying to thrash out a deal, 'Operation Pedro' was firmly in place with Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia secretly carrying out negotiations.
It is also thought United fluffed up the deal because of Van Gaal's public fall-out with Pedro's former team-mate Victor Valdes.
