Pep Guardiola has already reacted to Pedro Neto move to Chelsea as Blues make a marquee signing
On Friday, Chelsea supporters may be shocked to learn that they may be poised to make a major transfer acquisition, according to cutting-edge transfer rumors.
A Premier League star is reportedly on his way to Stamford Bridge, where there have already been a number of arrivals during a hectic summer transfer window.
Journalist Fabrice Hawkins reported via X on Friday afternoon that Pedro Neto, a standout for Wolverhampton Wanderers, is expected to sign with Chelsea.
It is anticipated that the 24-year-old winger, who has been at Molineux Stadium since 2019, will make a prominent move to West London.
What Pep Guardiola said about Pedro Neto
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has one of the greatest football brains in the business, so it’s always worthwhile hearing his verdict on players.
Interestingly, Guardiola was full of very high praise for Chelsea target Neto following a performance for Wolves back in March 2021.
He said via Man City’s official website: “Neto is an incredible player and Adama (Traore) as well. This team, when you let them run, they kill you. The pace, with (Ruben) Semedo from behind, but especially from Adama and Neto.”
Neto’s had injury problems throughout his career so far, which is sure to frighten Chelsea supporters given their record in that department.
However, there must be some real encouragement when you’re labelled “incredible” by Guardiola.
