Pedro Neto: All the Latest News, Stats and Rumours
If you follow the Premier League, you’ve probably seen Pedro Neto sprinting down the wing for Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Portuguese winger’s pace, dribbling and eye‑for‑goal make him a fan favourite and a hot topic on football forums. On this page we pull together his recent performances, injury updates and any transfer chatter that’s floating around.
Recent Performances
Last season Neto logged 30 appearances for Wolves, scoring nine goals and providing eight assists. That output placed him among the top five Premier League wingers for combined goals and assists. His most memorable moment came against Manchester United, when he cut inside from the left flank and curled a right‑footed shot into the top corner. Even when the team struggled, his bursts of speed often created scoring chances.
In the current campaign, Neto has started 12 matches and come off the bench in three more. He’s already netted three times and assisted twice, keeping his contribution rate steady despite a congested fixture list. When he’s on the field, Wolves tend to generate more chances in the final third – a fact reflected in their increase in shots on target per game when he plays.
What’s Next for Neto?
Injury worries have dogged his career, but the latest medical report shows he’s fully fit after a minor hamstring strain earlier this year. The club’s physio confirmed he’s cleared for full training and should be available for the upcoming derby against Aston Villa. Fans are hoping his fitness will let him stay on the pitch for the remainder of the season without interruption.
Transfer rumours have started to surface as the January window approaches. Several mid‑table clubs have reportedly expressed interest, attracted by his age (22) and resale value. However, Wolves’ manager has repeatedly stated that Neto is a core part of the squad’s future plans and that any move would only happen if a ‘right fit’ and a substantial offer are on the table.
Beyond the club level, Neto remains a regular squad member for the Portuguese national team. He’s been called up for upcoming Euro qualifiers and could see minutes in the next friendly against Spain. His international performances often boost his confidence and help him refine his technical skills.
