Chelsea plan to bring in at least one more attacking player after signing Pedro Neto from Wolves for £54million last night.

Neto, who was also admired by Manchester City and Newcastle United, has agreed a six year contract with the option of another year and will be presented to the Stamford Bridge crowd today at their friendly against Inter Milan.

The 24-year-old has shone for Wolves over the past five years, racking up 14 goals and 24 assists in 135 appearances for the club. 

Shock news broke on Friday that Chelsea had agreed a deal for the Portuguese international after having two bids rejected, and he subsequently underwent a medical.

Meanwhile, Chelsea will confirm Samu Omorodion’s arrival from Atletico Madrid for £34.5m after he landed in London on Saturday and still hope to add another by attempting to broker a loan for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen.

Napoli confirmed last night that Osimhen has asked to leave the club after he was left out of their Coppa Italia squad to face Modena. 

Their spending has already exceeded £200m this summer but they will offset that by offloading at least seven players either permanently or on loan.

Juventus have enquired after Raheem Sterling but have not taken talks any further while Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja and Romelu Lukaku are training with the development squad as they await offers. 

Chalobah has interest from Crystal Palace and Aston Villa among others, while striker David Fofana is wanted by Leicester City and Lukaku wants Napoli.

Goalkeepers Kepa Arrizabalaga and Djordje Petrovic, midfielders Cesare Casadei, Lesley Ugochukwu are expected to go while offers may yet be considered for Carney Chukwuemeka and Ben Chilwell.

The latest transfer news comes as Chelsea defender Reece James has suffered a setback after suffering a new hamstring injury.
