In a major announcement, Chelsea has officially welcomed their newest addition to the team - Pedro Neto from Wolves. The exciting news was revealed just before the start of the new Premier League season, during the team's final game. Neto's arrival marks yet another big-name signing for the Blues, whose summer spending has now surpassed the impressive £200 million mark.
The highly coveted Portugal winger has signed a long-term seven-year contract with Chelsea, solidifying his commitment to the club. Fans were thrilled to see Neto in attendance at Stamford Bridge during the team's last pre-season match against Inter Milan. With their sights set on a successful 2024-25 Premier League campaign, Chelsea will kick off their season at home against Manchester City next weekend.
In a statement, Neto expressed his gratitude and excitement about joining the prestigious team. "I am truly grateful to have the opportunity to play for this club," said the 24-year-old. "I have worked tirelessly throughout my career to get to this point, and I cannot wait to step onto the pitch wearing this jersey."
It's clear that Neto is eager to make his mark in Blue, and fans are already buzzing with anticipation. The official Chelsea FC Twitter account shared a video of Neto's signing, welcoming him to the team with open arms and hearts.
The negotiations for Neto's transfer were no easy task, as Chelsea initially offered a player-plus-cash deal to Wolves. Names like David Datro Fofana and Trevoh Chalobah were thrown into the mix during discussions. But in the end, the Blues secured their target and made Neto their ninth signing of the summer.
Joining the likes of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Renato Veiga, Omari Kellyman, Filip Jorgensen, Tosin Adarabioyo, Aaron Anselmino, Caleb Wiley, Estevao Willian, and Marc Guiu, Neto adds even more depth and talent to the Chelsea squad. Interestingly, Neto had also been a top target for Arsenal, with manager Mikel Arteta eyeing him as a potential alternative to Bukayo Saka.
Despite struggling with hamstring injuries that caused him to miss 18 league games last season, Neto still managed to score three goals and provide 11 assists. His impressive stats and undeniable potential make him a valuable asset to the Chelsea team.
Fans can't wait to see Neto in action, and with the new season just around the corner, excitement is at an all-time high.
