Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher has regretted that the Reds did not sign Pedro Neto ahead of Chelsea.

The Portuguese joined the Blues from Wolverhampton Wanderers in a deal worth £54 million this summer.

Carragher said he would have loved the winger to move to Liverpool instead.

He made his debut as a substitute in the Blues’ 0-2 defeat against Manchester City last weekend.

Carragher believes Pedro Neto is a jackpot signing for any club.

He told Sky Sports, “The reason I’ve chosen him is because I think, but for injuries, I think this is a player that could play for the best teams in the world – I really do believe that.

“…I’ve always thought, ‘I’d love Liverpool to sign him’.

“I just look at him, the pace and the quality on the ball; he scores goals, and I just hope he stays fit.

“But I think if Chelsea could keep him fit, I think he’s a special talent, and he’s a player that I love to watch… He’s one of the top players in the Premier League when he’s fit.”
