Reported Liverpool target Pedro Neto is one of Danny Murphy’s 10 Premier League players to watch this season.

In late July, 90Min reported that the Reds made contact with Premier League rivals Wolves about the 21-year-old. 

This month, Goal.com also linked Liverpool with Neto, claiming the Anfield recruitment team had looked at him.

As well as the Reds, Spurs and Juventus have reportedly also made enquiries about the Portuguese diamond.

Neto is contracted to Wolves until 2025, however, so it’s likely only a huge offer would persuade the Molineux outfit to sell.

Liverpool target has “massive potential”

Whether he stays put or makes a move, Liverpool ace Murphy is looking forward to see what Neto can produce this term.

“Capable of playing at a club challenging nearer the top of the league, but he’s only 21 and staying at Wolves for another season isn’t a bad thing for him,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I really like this lad, he can play on the right or left, has super skill, pace and can score goals. He is so direct and has massive potential.

“Though Wolves struggled last season, he remained a threat. Often players who are as talented as Neto don’t have a great work ethic, but that’s not the case with him.

“Raul Jimenez coming back will help and I expect Neto’s goal tally to jump significantly from the six he scored last season.

“His emergence might have been a reason Wolves were willing to sell Diogo Jota.

“Though they have other talented young players like Daniel Podence and Francisco Trincao, signed on loan from Barcelona, Neto is the jewel in their crown.”
