Arsenal legend, Paul Merson, has feared the Gunners may have missed a trick by letting Chelsea sign 24-year-old forward Pedro Neto this summer.... CLICK TO READ THE FULL NEWS HERE▶▶
Merson believes the Portuguese is an ‘incredible signing and a top draw’.
Neto was a long-term transfer target for Arsenal.
However, Chelsea quickly went ahead to sign him from Wolves last week as there was no great deal of competition from Mikel Arteta’s men.
“If Chelsea can keep him [Neto] fit, I think it is an incredible signing,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“If you can get Neto on the pitch, he’s top draw. I think Arsenal missed a trick with him.
“If he goes to Arsenal he takes the workload of Saka and Martinelli.
“Chelsea were very shrewd – they did it very quickly and very quietly. [it is a] good signing.”
Neto will now hope to play for Enzo Maresca’s side when they tackle Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.
