Blues New Catch
Also, Chelsea on Sunday officially announced the signing of Portugal international Pedro Neto.
According to Chelsea in a statement via their website, Neto switched to Stamford Bridge from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
The statement which revealed that Neto signed a seven-year deal said, “At 17 years, two months and five days, he became the third-youngest scorer in the club’s history.
“A two-year loan move to Italian giants Lazio followed during which he won the Coppa Italia. That switch was made permanent ahead of the 2018/19 campaign, and Pedro completed a transfer to Wolves in August 2019.
“He scored and created a goal on his debut – a 4-0 win over Pyunik in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League – and quickly established himself as a regular in the Wolves attack.
“Pedro went on to make 135 appearances for the club and last season contributed to 11 goals in 20.
“He also established himself as a regular in the Portugal squad during his time at Molineux and has won ten caps, the last of which came during this summer’s European Championship. Welcome to Chelsea, Pedro!.”
Reacting, Neto said, “I feel really grateful to have joined this club, I have worked really hard in my career to be here and I’m looking forward to getting on the pitch with this shirt.”
He started his career in the youth system of Braga.
Pedro’s talent began to shine when he made his first-team debut in May 2017 and scored in a 4-0 victory over Nacional.
