Liverpool in the race alongside Arsenal for Wolves’ star Pedro Neto
The find for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah at Liverpool will continue for quite a while. The Egyptian doesn’t seem like he is on a decline, and until then, the Reds really have no problem to deal with.
Several players see themselves linked with a move to the Reds and the latest player on that list is Wolverhampton Wanderer’s winger Pedro Neto.
The 23-year-old Portuguese international has certainly been in fine form for Gary O’Neil’s men this season, and his growing stock means he sees himself linked with two of the biggest clubs in the country.
In eight appearances in the league this season, he has a goal and five assists to boot and currently leads the English top-tier charts in assists this term.
Liverpool expert Neil Jones on CaughtOffside (h/t Football. London) reports that Liverpool could potentially conjure a deal for Neto, hijacking Arsenal in the process to get him on board at Anfield.
The idea of Neto donning Liverpool’s iconic red jersey is an intriguing one. His combination of skill, pace, and creativity makes him an exciting prospect for any top club. Liverpool, known for their attacking flair, could certainly benefit from his talents.
While Mo Salah remains a cornerstone of Liverpool’s attack, planning for the future is a prudent approach.
Having someone of Neto’s calibre waiting in the wings could provide valuable depth and quality to the squad.
