Eduard Mor: Who Could Have Predicted Pedros Rise as Zenits Leader?

Former Spartak defender **Eduard Mor** shared his thoughts on the development of 19-year-old Brazilian winger Pedro from Zenit.

«Who would have thought that Pedro would emerge as a leader for Zenit? He plays both as a left winger and a central forward, and he’s always in the spotlight. He puts in a tremendous amount of work. He has made significant progress. Initially, Pedro was viewed mainly as a fast player, quite specialized. However, he has shown such versatility now; it’s really impressive. On the field, he takes on a leadership role. Therefore, I’m quite surprised by Pedro’s growth,» Mor expressed during an interview on Match TV.

In the 2025/2026 season, Pedro has netted three goals and provided three assists in 23 matches for the St. Petersburg team across all competitions. As of late December 2025, Transfermarkt values his transfer fee at €15 million, a significant increase from €9 million at the end of December 2024.
