Although it was no secret that the Magpies wanted to sign the talented South American, a move failed to materialise and Pedro was forced to continue this season in the Championship.

Speaking about the Brazilian’s failed move to St James’ Park, journalist Lee Ryder said: “A little bit of frustration, he did talk about missing out on a couple of opportunities in the window Pedro probably being the big one at Watford.
“I think they were keen to get him here and I think he was keen to come here.”
