Chelsea is set to strengthen their attacking lineup by securing a deal with Wolves for the signing of Pedro Neto.
The 24-year-old Portuguese winger will join Chelsea for £51 million, with an additional £2.5 million possible in add-ons, making him the club’s most expensive signing of the summer so far.
Neto will join an already crowded attack featuring Mykhailo Mudryk, Raheem Sterling, Noni Madueke, Cole Palmer, Christopher Nkunku, and Nicolas Jackson.
Despite scoring only two Premier League goals last season, Neto’s nine assists have made him a standout addition.
His transfer comes after Chelsea missed out on Michael Olise and opted not to pursue Nico Williams.
Concerns about Neto’s fitness have lingered, as he missed significant periods last season due to hamstring issues.
Over five years in England, Neto has missed 112 games due to injury but has also played 135 times, scoring 14 goals and providing 24 assists across all competitions.
As an exciting winger with immense close control, electric speed, and an eye for a goal, he hasn’t always had a big price tag.
Neto was signed for just £15 million in 2019 as a teenager from Lazio.
Despite his injury struggles, his market value has risen, currently standing at £47 million.
Although some believe Chelsea could have secured Neto for a lower price had they acted sooner, the deal is seen as fair considering his potential and current market rate.
