Chelsea confirm Pedro Neto transfer as Enzo Maresca seals tenth summer signing

Chelsea have completed the signing of Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers. The 24-year-old joins the Blues in a deal initially worth £51million, although it could rise to £54million with add-ons.

Neto is Enzo Maresca's tenth signing of the summer and the Portuguese international has signed a six-year deal with the option of a further year at the Stamford Bridge outfit. football.london understands Neto passed his medical in London on Saturday, with personal terms agreed that same evening.

Neto was introduced to the Chelsea supporters at half-time of their final pre-season friendly against Inter Milan on Sunday. Capable of playing across the front line, the former Lazio man is most comfortable on the right wing which could impact Noni Madueke's playing time.

Contributing to 14 goals in 24 appearances for Gary O'Neil's side last season, Neto will want to prove his fitness under Maresca and have a positive first season in west London. He has struggled with injuries in the past and two separate hamstring injuries heavily impacted his 2023/24 season.

Neto joins the club after Tosin Adarabioyo, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Filip Jorgensen, Omari Kellyman, Aaron Anselmino, Renato Veiga, Caleb Wiley and Marc Guiu, Estevao Willian - who won't join until 2025 - made the switch to the Blues earlier in the window.
