DONE DEAL ✅: The player has completed their medical with Arsenal, signed a six-year contract, and will soon be officially announced with their assigned shirt number.
Arsenal has reportedly started negotiations to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers’ star Pedro Neto this summer, as reported by TEAMtalk.
The Gunners are looking to strengthen their wing positions during this transfer window and have been associated with several players. While Nico Williams is a major target, Neto is also under consideration. The 24-year-old had an impressive season last year, scoring twice and providing nine assists in 20 Premier League matches.
Arsenal’s interest in Neto isn’t new; they have shown interest in previous transfer windows but haven’t taken definitive action. This time, however, the situation might be different. According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal has already initiated discussions with Neto’s representatives, and the player has shown a preference for moving to the Emirates Stadium.
The report mentions that Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in Neto, but Arsenal has an advantage as they can offer Champions League football. TEAMtalk further notes that Arsenal sees Neto as a valuable addition but will need to spend around £50 million to secure his transfer, making him an expensive option.
Neto is a versatile forward who can play on either wing and cover the center-forward position if needed. He is quick, strong, technically skilled, capable of dribbling past defenders in tight spaces, creating chances for teammates, and is known for his work ethic off the ball.
Despite Neto’s talent and proven performance in the Premier League, his recent injury issues make his acquisition somewhat risky. Therefore, some believe Arsenal might be better off considering other options to bolster their attack this summer.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if Arsenal will make a concrete offer for Neto during this transfer window.
