Wolves are currently shortlisting replacements for Pedro Neto after Chelsea agreed a deal with the Portuguese international. Having accepted a £54m bid for Pedro Neto from Chelsea, Wolves are already looking for their next replacement. When the news dropped, Fabrizio Romano said that Gary O’Neil wanted Ajax winger Carlos Forbs, 20, to replace the 24-year-old. Sadly, reports have emerged that Wolves cannot afford to sign the Manchester City academy graduate, who costs ‘too much’. That leaves the Wanderers in a position where they can either break the bank for Forbs or look elsewhere and there are plenty of other talents who could succeed Neto at Molineux, including a winger from Porto.
Wolves should consider signing Porto winger Wanderson Galeno.
Wanderson Galeno, a Porto winger, is currently wanted, according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims Nottingham Forest’s approach for the Brazil international was denied.
He claims that the Reds’ interest’remains strong’, while the Portuguese club is demanding €40 million (£34 million) for their outstanding winger.Although Forest and Juventus have shown the most interest, it is Wolves who should exploit Neto’s upcoming £54 million offer to trigger Porto’s asking price.
Galeno, a right-footed left-winger, had some incredible performances last season, particularly in the Champions League, where he scored five goals in seven games, including a stunning winner against Arsenal in the last 16.
Porto eventually lost 4-3 on aggregate in the Emirates, but the former Brazil international could still hold his head high, having scored 16 goals and assisted 12 times in all competitions.
Such figures position the 26-year-old in elite company across Europe, giving fans every reason to hope he can be Neto’s successor at Molineux.
The statistics show that Galeno can replace Neto at Wolves.
The most impressive aspect of Neto’s game is his incredible ball-carrying ability, as the jet-heeled winger nearly glides over the ground.
Galeno’s excellent skill and blistering pace make him a nightmare to defend against, which is why multiple clubs want to sign him.
According to FBref, the Brazilian’s finest aspects of his game are progressive carries (4.30), which rank him in the top 11% of Premeira Liga wingers, as well as penalty box touches (6.84).
To put it simply, Galeno, like Neto, is an entertaining player to watch, and the way he drives at defenders will bring fans out their seats at Molineux.
For £34 million, Wolves could get the ideal successor for their Portuguese superstar and strike gold in a league where they have historically excelled.
