Wolves boss Gary O'Neil makes transfer admission following Pedro Neto departure
Gary O'Neil has revealed Wolves will target a wide player before the window slams shut after losing 'irreplaceable' Pedro Neto to Chelsea.
The winger has joined the London club in a deal worth up to £54million, after leaving Compton on Friday in a tearful goodbye.
O'Neil – disappointed to lose Neto – says the attacker cannot be directly replaced but that Wolves will reinvest the money to bring in a handful of players, including a wide forward.
"He's irreplaceable for a club like us at this moment," O'Neil said of Neto's departure.
"He's a top winger in world football and we knew it would be a challenge to keep him because of that.
"Obviously his last few seasons have been hampered by injury, but when he's fit and free-flowing there's not many like it in world football.
"I'm gutted to lose him. He was quite emotional as he's been here for a long time.
