Transfer: I’d have loved Liverpool to buy him – Carragher hails Chelsea’s new signing

Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has regretted that the Reds did not sign Pedro Neto ahead of Chelsea.

The Portuguese joined the Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth £54 million this summer.

Carragher said he would have loved the winger to move to Liverpool instead.

He made his debut as a substitute in the Blues’ 0-2 defeat against Manchester City last weekend.

Carragher believes Pedro Neto is a jackpot signing for any club.

He told Sky Sports, “The reason I’ve chosen him is because I think, but for injuries, I think this is a player that could play for the best teams in the world – I really do believe that.

“…I’ve always thought, ‘I’d love Liverpool to sign him’.

“I just look at him, the pace and the quality on the ball; he scores goals, and I just hope he stays fit.

“But I think if Chelsea could keep him fit, I think he’s a special talent, and he’s a player that I love to watch… He’s one of the top players in the Premier League when he’s fit.”
