Pedro Lomba Neto (born 9 March 2000) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays for Italian club S.S. Lazio on loan from S.C. Braga as a left winger.

Club career

Born in Viana do Castelo, Neto joined S.C. Braga's youth system at the age of 13. On 7 May 2017, whilst still a junior, he made his professional debut with their reserves, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 2–3 home loss against FC Porto B for the Segunda Liga.[1] The following weekend, in his first Primeira Liga appearance with the first team, he scored after only a few minutes on the pitch, helping the hosts defeat already relegated C.D. Nacional 4–0 and becoming the club's youngest ever goal scorer in the competition.[2][3]

On 31 August, both Neto and teammate Bruno Jordão were loaned to S.S. Lazio from Italy for two years, with an obligation to subsequently buy for a combined €26 million.[4][5]

Personal life

Neto's uncle, Sérgio Lomba, was also a footballer.[6]
