Chelsea ANNOUNCE Ninth signing on a seven year deal as 10th signing loading
Chelsea have officially completed the signing of Pedro Neto on a massive seven year contract after the Blues decided that he was a player that could improve the squad for the upcoming season.
With three goals and 11 assists, Neto showed some excellent form for Wolves last season, despite suffering two different hamstring issues in an injury-hit campaign.
The deal, which was agreed on Friday, is broken up into an initial £51.4m payment plus £2.6m in add-ons, and Neto becomes CHELSEA’s ninth signing of the summer following Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga and Omari Kellyman, goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen, defenders Tosin Adarabioyo, Aaron Anselmino and Caleb Wiley, winger Estevao Willian and Marc Guiu through the door.
The Portugal international joins Cole Palmer, Noni Madueke, Mykhailo Mudryk and Raheem Sterling as wide options ahead of the new season
Pedro has signed a seven-year contract and will begin training with his new teammates at Cobham in the coming days.
‘I feel really grateful to have joined this club,’ said the 24-year-old. ‘I have worked really hard in my career to be here and I’m looking forward to getting on the pitch with this shirt.’
