Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been left furious with quotes from Pedro Neto on his future with the Old Gold.
In an interview with O Jogo, as cited by Sport Witness, the Portuguese attacker revealed that he wants to “continue” with Wolves but will want to “take the leap” to “top clubs to win titles or compete in the Champions League” one day (via Talking Wolves), which had fans livid.

“I’m in a big club that already offers me a lot. I want to continue here, but I intend to take the leap. I want to reach top clubs to win titles or compete in the Champions League. I want to try everything.”#WWFC #TalkingWolves pic.twitter.com/3m12JKxrWj

Are you frustrated with Pedro Neto's admission on his future goals?No, good for him to aim high
Yes, he shouldn't be saying it

Over the duration of the Premier League season so far, the Portuguese 20-year-old, who is valued at £11.7 million (Transfermarkt), has been the sixth-worst player to feature for the Old Gold with a 6.45/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
To earn the rating he has netted two goals and bagged two assists in 21 league appearances (per WhoScored) and fans could not help but air their disappointment after his comments.
All about the money

Prob been mate to sound a lot worse than it is. However, he shouldn’t be coming out with statements like this. Fine him.

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from Wolves supporters, what Pedro Neto had to say in his interview with O Jogo has certainly rustled a few feathers.
However, ambition in football is no bad thing and it is likely that every young player has similar aspirations, perhaps Neto could have used a little more tact in his admission, though.
