Pedro Neto wears No. 19 for Chelsea.
"Neto's number has been confirmed. Neto will wear the No. 19 uniform for Chelsea this season. Neto moved from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Chelsea and signed a long-term contract until 2031," Chelsea said on its website.
The previous No. 19 is the number that Armando Broja used to post. Broja signed a professional contract for the 2020-21 season after playing for Chelsea Youth. However, he rarely got a chance at Chelsea. Broja gained experience by spending time on loan at Pietesser and Southampton.
Broja returned for the 2022-23 season and things were not much different. Last season, Broja came into the game as a starter and a substitute. However, Broja was disappointed at the front line. Broja appeared in 13 games in the league but scored only one goal. Eventually, Broja left for Fulham on loan through the winter transfer window.
Broja returned from a loan but had to hand over 19 times to Neto. Neto performed tremendously for Wolverhampton last season. He showed breakthrough using explosive speed on the side. In particular, he showed good chemistry with Hwang Hee-chan. If Neto destroys the side, it was Wolverhampton's attack pattern that Hwang Hee-chan penetrated into the penalty box and finished.
However, the injury has hampered Neto. He had one goal and seven assists during the 10th round since the season's opening. It was the best performance ever. It was a good performance, but he suffered a hamstring injury. While dribbling at the match against Newcastle in the 10th round, he felt pain in his hamstring and suffered a burn. Eventually, Neto left the ground due to the injury and showed tears.
Neto made his comeback as a substitute against Everton in the 20th round and started against Brighton in the 21st round. Neto proved himself once again. After his return, he led Wolverhampton's attack and produced one goal and two assists.
Neto left with a hamstring injury once more. At the end of the season, Neto was out again with a hamstring injury and finished the season with two league goals and nine assists. Neto scored double-digit attacking points in the league despite being out twice with injuries.
Neto has joined a major club for the first time. Attention is focusing on whether Neto will display stellar performance at Wolverhampton while wearing No. 19 jersey for Chelsea. Mason Mount, Diego Costa, Tammy Abraham, Diego Costa, and Demba Bar have played for Chelsea. 메이저사이트
