The 26-year-old could be a game-changer for both teams offensively. It will be interesting to see where he ends up. The player&#8217;s transfer fee could exceed 100 million euros this summer.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chelsea&#8217;s Pedro Neto is tackled by Arsenal&#8217;s William Saliba.
