Liverpool have reportedly been monitoring the progress of Wolves’ Pedro Neto as manager Jurgen Klopp looks to strengthen his options at the top end of the pitch.
According to Goal’s Neil Jones, the Reds’ recruitment team have been watching the highly-rated 21-year-old ahead of a possible move.
Klopp is believed to be in the market for another attacking addition this summer, with the likes of Divock Origi and Xherdan Shaqiri expected to depart Anfield as a result.
Neto has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most promising young forwards since arriving at Molineux from Lazio back in 2019.
He’s bagged 10 goals and provided a further 11 assists in 79 appearances for the Midlands outfit, but it was his consistently exciting and dangerous performances that really caught the eye last season.
Match of the Day pundit Alan Shearer was amongst the youngster’s admirers in 2020/21, praising Neto after he bagged a stunning winning goal against Southampton.
“A huge talent who is having a fine season. He changed the game and scored a great goal,” Shearer said.
