Jason Cundy believes Pedro Neto is better than any other right winger in the Premier League at this point in time.
Neto joined Chelsea in the summer of 2024 from Wolves in a deal worth £51.4m, and took a bit of time to get settled into life at Stamford Bridge.
However, the Portugal international finished the season strongly, before putting in a series of impressive performances at the Club World Cup.
Neto has started all four of Chelsea’s Premier League games this season, and has very much locked down a place in Enzo Maresca’s starting line-up.

The 25-year-old is a real threat cutting in from the right hand side, and Jamie Redknapp believes Neto is coming into his own.
Neto is now showing the form he produced at Wolves and Cundy believes he’s as good as any right winger in the Premier League right now.
“He’s as good as any wide man right now in the country,” he told talkSPORT.
“I’m putting him right up there. I can’t think of anyone better, find me a better wide man out on the right than Neto. I’m waiting.”
Neto might be one of the first choices in the Chelsea team currently, but Brazilian sensation Estevao Willian is knocking on the door.
Estevao has started two of Chelsea’s opening four league games, and has looked a real threat with his directness.

The teenager is Neto’s main competition on the right hand side, and if he continues performing how he has done, then Maresca has got a big decision to make.
It’s a long season so there will be plenty of opportunity for both players, but it’s poised to be a fascinating battle.
