Following the Neto ‘Here we go!’, we have looked at six examples of them buying a player, seemingly because Premier League rivals are interested.
Six times shameless Chelsea hijacked a Premier League rival’s transfer
Pedro Neto (Hijacked from Arsenal, Man City, Newcastle and Tottenham)
Chelsea will reportedly sign Wolves winger Pedro Neto, which has come slightly out of the blue. There has been a tonne of Premier League interest in the Portuguese international with Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham reluctant to bite the bullet due to his injury record. Transfer-happy Chelsea have decided it’s worth the risk and will apparently be paying Gary O’Neil’s side £54million for Neto’s services.
With no disrespect to Wolves intended, we must admit it will be fun to see Neto plying his trade for a bigger club, especially considering so many have been sniffing around in recent years.
The 24-year-old can play through the middle or on either wing and is very dangerous on his day. Chelsea will be hoping to see his day more frequently than Wolves did, because those injuries have been a real pain. Literally.
