Newcastle United have suffered a blow in their summer transfer window plans after Chelsea made a successful £54m offer for reported Magpies target Pedro Neto.
As talks continue over the potential club record deal for Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi, the Magpies are also believed to be keen to add another winger to their squad before the window closes for business at the end of the month. The likes of Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, Barcelona star Raphinha and Chelsea’s Noni Madueke have all been suggested as possible targets and Neto was also believed to have admirers within the St James Park hierarchy.
The Portugal international was questioned on his future during Wolves’ recent tour of the United States and dropped a major hint he would be willing to remain part of Gary O’Neil’s squad for the new Premier League season amid reports of interest from Newcastle, Liverpool and Chelsea. He said: “Staying at Wolves? I love this club, I’m really happy to be here”. “I’m happy to take this team to another level”
