In an interview, Roy Keane shared his thoughts on Chelsea's recent signing of Pedro Neto. The former Manchester United player believes that Neto will only add to the chaos at Stamford Bridge and will most likely be a disappointment for the team.
Chelsea secured Neto's services for a whopping £54 million, signing him on a seven-year contract until 2031. The Portuguese winger, who had a successful five-year stint at Wolves, was introduced to the Chelsea fans during a pre-season friendly against Inter Milan at Stamford Bridge last Sunday.
The Blues have had a tumultuous summer, with a change in manager and a significant amount of money spent on new signings. However, Keane predicts that the injury-prone Neto will not contribute positively to the team and will instead add to the chaos. He even compared him to Luke Shaw, who has also been plagued by injuries throughout his career.
When asked about Neto potentially being one of the best signings of the summer, Keane responded with a firm "No!" and added, "He's always injured! For f*** sake. He's like [Luke] Shaw. He'll add to the chaos. He will run everywhere and then spend six months on the treatment table with a hamstring injury."
Neto's move to Chelsea from fellow Premier League club Wolves has certainly caused a stir in the football world. The player himself expressed his gratitude for joining such a prestigious club, saying, "I have worked really hard in my career to be here, and I'm looking forward to stepping onto the pitch with this shirt."
Chelsea's first match of the 2024-25 season is against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City this Sunday. And in preparation for the new season, the Blues have also offered a contract extension to 22-year-old Cole Palmer, who played a crucial role for the team last season. Palmer, who only joined Chelsea last summer from Man City, is now tied to the club until 2033.
Expressing his delight at the new deal, Palmer said, "I achieved a lot in my first season here, and hopefully, I can continue to experience great things at this club, both on a personal level and in terms of bringing success and trophies to Chelsea."
