Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna admits he ‘expecte more’ from one of Chelsea’s big-money summer signings.

Portugal international Neto complete a £54m move from Wolves, putting pen to paper on a seven-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

‘I definitely expecte a bit more from Neto because he was such an exciting player at Wolves,’ ex-France international Sagna told.
‘He’s gone from being the main man at Wolves to just another good player at Chelsea, and sometimes it can be hard for a player to make that adjustment.
‘Don’t forget that Neto is also a young player that is still improving, and he’s being aske to perform for a club where the expectations are a lot higher.
‘I think his performances have been quite good, but if you’re comparing his output to what he has produced season after season for Wolves then I think you can have a right to be disappointed with his numbers.
‘He is a player that I really like. I like his personality, his ability with the ball and his work rate. I’ve expected more from him because I know he can deliver more, but there is still plenty of time for him to register more goals and assists before the season ends.
