"Including Liverpool:" Neil Jones Reports On Interest In £60M Premier League Ace

Pedro Neto is reportedly catching the attention of Liverpool, as revealed in Reds writer and expert Neil Jones' Daily Briefing column.

In eight Premier League games, the 23-year-old has scored one goal and assisted five, according to Transfermarkt.

So, what does Jones say about Pedro Neto to Liverpool?

Writing in his daily column, Jones says Liverpool are admirers of Neto but insists the Portuguese star needs to remain consistent before a move to a big club materialises.

He writes: “I’m not surprised to see Pedro Neto’s name being linked with top clubs, given the way he’s started the Premier League season.

“The Wolves man has always been a huge talent, one admired by just about every big side including Liverpool, but injuries have set him back significantly in recent years.

“Now he’s back fit, we are seeing what he can do, and the pace and threat he brings, plus the room for development he has at 23, mark him out as someone who can definitely take the next step by moving to a Champions League club.

“Whether that’s Liverpool – they still need to get back to the Champions League, by the way! – remains to be seen. I know that Neto has admirers at Anfield, and that his versatility and skillset would be well-suited to a Jurgen Klopp side. But then the same could be said, I believe, for a Mikel Arteta side or a Pep Guardiola side. I believe he is of that level, potentially.

“The first aim for him, though, must be to stay fit and to turn this purple patch into something more sustainable. He still needs to improve his numbers, particularly in terms of goal-scoring, if he is to put himself in that top bracket of attackers.

"But he is making waves at Wolves right now, and if he continues to do so then we can expect him to move on to bigger and better things next season."

Pedro Neto could be the Mohamed Salah replacement nobody is talking about

Neto has been one to watch ever since he joined Wolves in 2019 but this season, he seems to have come back sharper than before his latest injury.

Liverpool are worried about losing Mohamed Salah - an insecurity reinforced by the Saudi Pro League's director of football stating the 31-year-old is a "personal favourite" of his.

Neto is an exciting player no doubt but his injury woes may be too big a factor to ignore especially if a deal to sign him would cost around £60 million (€69m).

Since joining Wolves, the 23-year-old has missed a total of 89 games.
