Pedro Neto insists he remains committed to Chelsea: 'My head is only here'

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto has strengthened his position at Stamford Bridge after making it clear that he has no intention of leaving the club, despite attracting interest from several teams.

The Portugal international was linked with an exit following Chelsea's acquisition of Geovany Quenda from Sporting CP, with Saudi Pro League teams and leading European clubs reportedly monitoring his situation.

However, the Blues demanded 120 million euros for the 26-year-old, a figure none of his suitors were prepared to match.

Neto has since enjoyed an encouraging start to the Premier League season, scoring three goals in nine starts across Chelsea's opening 10 fixtures.

His consistent involvement has made him an important component of manager Xabi Alonso's side, although it has limited the opportunities available to young Brazilian winger Estevao Willian.

"I'm attracted to Chelsea. My head is only here," said Neto.

"The club has shown me affection, given me everything, and I'm very grateful for that. I don't think about other scenarios."

Chelsea further demonstrated their confidence in Neto by handing him a new contract in September, extending his stay until 2032.
