international has had a bit of a mixed run since arriving at Stamford Bridge, which has led to some uncertainty over his future ahead of the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, according to TEAMtalk, Chelsea officials seem to be playing down any talk of a potential sale, despite being linked with a \u00a370m move to Atletico.<\/p>\n<p>The report suggests Blues officials are happy with Neto and can probably ignore any claims of him leaving for the time being.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_impact_did_Pedro_Neto_have_on_Chelsea\"><\/span>What impact did Pedro Neto have on

Wolves (Photo by Dan Istitene\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Neto looked like an exciting talent during his time at former club Wolves, but we imagine Chelsea supporters are divided.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old has seven goals and four assists in 37 appearances in all competitions so far this season, which isn&#8217;t terrible but isn&#8217;t particularly great either.<\/p>\n<p>The numbers probably don&#8217;t tell the whole story, but CFC could probably be forgiven for expecting a little more from Neto.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Neto is able to tinker with the final product, he is a threat with speed and skill, and his presence alone will often help free up space for other players.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Options_in_Chelseas_attack\"><\/span>Options in Chelsea&#8217;s attack<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It is also worth noting that it is not always easy to shine at Chelsea, as there are always many changes in the team.<\/p>\n<p>Not only do the west Londoners have to rotate a lot to keep everyone happy, but the nature of their transfer strategy means players come and go.<\/p>\n<p>Neto seems to be one of Chelsea&#8217;s more secure players at the moment, but a change of personnel could make it difficult for him and other players to develop the necessary fluency.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pedro Neto celebrates with Alejandro Garnacho (Photo by Justin Setterfield\/Getty Images) Chelsea
