Chelsea paid around £54m to sign Pedro Neto from Wolves, in a sensational summer deal.

Neto made his Chelsea debut as a substitute against Manchester City and looked lively.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed he wished Pedro Neto signed for Liverpool and not Chelsea.

When asked by Sky Sports who the one player he wished Liverpool had signed was, Carragher was quick to mention Chelsea new winger, Pedro Neto.

He admitted he wanted the Reds to have signed the 24-year-old, and hailed both his pace and ability on the ball.

He said: “The reason I’ve chosen him [Neto] is because I think, but for injuries, I think this is a player that could play for the best teams in the world – I really do believe that.

“He’s a player I have always watched for Wolves in the last three or four years, who I’ve always thought, ‘I’d love Liverpool to sign him’. I just look at the pace and the quality on the ball, he scores goals, and I just hope he stays fit.

“My only worry for Chelsea is that he is best on the right, cutting in on that left foot – probably where Cole Palmer likes to play as well. I think if Chelsea could keep him fit, I think he’s a special talent and he’s a player that I love to watch, and I actually get down a little bit when I hear he’s injured, even though Wolves are not my team.

“But I’d love to see him stay fit as I think he’s one of the top players in the Premier League.”
