He went through a difficult period under Enzo Maresca at the end of last year and was clearly struggling for form.

It’s unclear whether he performs best at No. 9 or No. 10, but his form has improved greatly since Roniol’s arrival.

The attacker has now scored ten league goals, equaling his tally at Brighton last season, and is thriving under the 41-year-old.

Ronniol has praised Pedro on numerous occasions since his arrival, with Law revealing the new manager has met with the 24-year-old more than any other player.

“he [Rosenior] I met Joao Pedro more than any other player,” he told the London Is Blue Podcast.

“I always thought Maresca demoted him to a number nine and maybe that had an impact on him.

“Rosenho seemed to really promote him as a number nine. It seemed to give Joao Pedro a huge confidence shake.”
