Pedro Neto Joins Chelsea from Wolves: What to Expect from the New Signing

Chelsea has just made headlines with a major transfer move, announcing the arrival of Portuguese winger Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 24-year-old talent has signed a seven-year contract with the Blues and will soon be integrating into Thomas Tuchel's squad at Cobham. Neto, who began his football journey at Braga, has consistently impressed with his dynamic play. His rise to prominence started in May 2017 when he made his debut for Braga’s first team, scoring in a 4-0 win over Nacional. At just 17 years and a few months, he became the third-youngest scorer in Braga’s history—a clear sign of his potential.

The winger’s career took an exciting turn with a two-year loan move to Italian giants Lazio, where he clinched the Coppa Italia. His success in Italy paved the way for a permanent move to Wolves in August 2019. At Wolves, Neto hit the ground running, scoring on his debut in a 4-0 Europa League win against Pyunik. Over his time with the club, he made 135 appearances and contributed 11 goals last season, showcasing his crucial role in the Wolves attack. Neto also made a name for himself on the international stage, earning ten caps for Portugal. His recent appearance in the European Championship highlighted his growing stature in European football.

Chelsea fans can look forward to seeing Neto’s flair and creativity on the pitch as he joins the likes of Raheem Sterling and Kai Havertz in the attack. With his track record of impactful performances and his experience in both domestic and international competitions, Neto is set to be a key asset for the Blues. Welcome to Chelsea, Pedro! Here’s to a new chapter filled with exciting moments and victories.
