Wolves identify ‘magic’ replacement for Pedro Neto, club open to selling ace this summer

HITC understands that Wolves are keen on a Brentford ace this summer as they look to replace Pedro Neto.

We had reported that Chelsea had struck an agreement for Wolves winger Pedro Neto and the Portuguese ace was confirmed by the Blues over the weekend.

Neto had originally attracted interest from Newcastle United earlier in the summer but the Portuguese winger decided that Enzo Maresca’s Chelsea was the best place for his development.

Wolves had already lost Max Kilman to West Ham earlier in the summer and the Black Country side will now have to look for a Neto replacement but HITC understands they have landed on a name.

Wolves keen on Brentford’s Yoanne Wissa

Sources have told HITC that Wolves have included Brentford’s Yoanne Wissa on their list of targets as a possible replacement for Neto.

Wolves boss Gary O’Neil acknowledged to Sky Sports that he was eager for Wolves to bring in more Premier League experience, a result of their other additions since the end of 2023-24 possessing none.

Now, sources have told HITC they like Wissa from Brentford and crucially, Thomas Frank’s side would be open to the sale of Wissa.

Part of the reason why Brentford would be open to the sale of Wissa is due to the business the London club have done this summer.

Brentford confirmed the signing of Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho earlier this week and it is our understanding that the Bees would now be open to selling Wissa particularly due to the addition of Wissa.

‘Magic’ Yoane Wissa could be on his way to Wolves

Since moving to Brentford back in the summer of 2021, The DR Congo midfielder has been one of the club’s most consistent performers.

Last season for Brentford, Wissa was brilliant as he netted 12 goals for the Bees and provided three assists as Frank’s side finished in mid-table.

Following a goal against Luton Town last season, manager Frank was full of praise for Wissa and labelled the 27-year-old as ‘magic’.

“Fantastic magic,” Frank told Brentford’s official website. “A really well-taken goal by Wissa and a good ball from Bryan [Mbeumo]. I’m so happy that Wissa scored two. He has been on the up for a while and I’m pleased with his performance.”

Replacing Neto for Wolves will be no easy feat but signing ‘magic’ Wissa may well be a start for O’Neil’s side during the summer transfer window.
