Mauricio Pochettino has seen his hopes of solving two major Chelsea problems this summer surprisingly boosted by Wolves star Ruben Neves. The Portugal international has been heavily linked with a move away from Molineux in recent windows and with one year remaining on his contract, his departure appears imminent.
Links to Manchester United and Arsenal have been prominent but instead the 26-year-old is on the verge of signing for Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Hilal. According to The Athletic, Wolves will receive £47 million for their captain with negotiations on personal terms currently taking place.
Despite Chelsea having no obvious interest in Neves, Pochettino's squad clear out plans for the summer could have been boosted by his transfer. That is because Edouard Mendy, Hakim Ziyech and Kalidou Koulibaly are all being linked with moves to Saudi Arabia with the likelihood of at least one joining N'Golo Kante in the Middle East seeming high.
