Arsenal has been handed a boost in their bid to sign Ruben Neves as Wolves have begun planning for life without the midfielder.
The Gunners have long admired the Portugal international, and he keeps getting better with his performances in the league.
Mikel Arteta will continue his rebuild by adding new names to the squad at the Emirates this summer and Neves is on Arsenal’s wishlist.
The Sun claims Wolves are now prepared to allow the former FC Porto man to leave. To prepare for that eventuality, they have handed a new long-term deal to Morgan Gibbs-White.
The midfielder spent this season on loan at Sheffield United, and he impressed as the Blades nearly returned to the EPL.
Bruno Lage is now prepared to make the Englishman a key part of his plans, and that will make them accept a reasonable offer for Neves.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Neves has been one of the finest midfielders in England, and he would be a great option for Arteta to have at his disposal.
However, the competition for his signature means we might have to be prepared to offer a good package to add him to our squad.
If we can speak to him and offer him a pivotal role in our team, we would probably sign him ahead of the other clubs chasing his signature.

Decent player but at the rumoured price touted for him no thanks. Tielemens at £25M makes a lot more sense or even Aouar who is reportedly available at cut price.
Haha, more chance of him staying a Wolves for another season than moving to Arsenal. If you would have qualified for the Champions League then you may have had a chance.
Ten Hag is after him. So, we can forget about it…IJS
Why would he choose a failing man United over an improving Arsenal?
@Admin Pat
He’s choosing and experienced Ten Hag, over an inexperienced Arteta…IJS
I hope and firmly believe that we will willNOT get Neves, whi is IMO nothing more than a HALF DECENT Prem midfielder and I EXPECT HIS PRICE TO BE WAY ABOVE WHAT WOLVES WILL BE ABLE TO SEE HIM AT.
MERCIFULLY for us , as I DO THINK MA would like him, but liking and getting are two very different things. I’d like a yacht in the Med but THAT ain’t gonna happen either.
Another Xhaka type player with a better temperament. But you never know, Mikel can change any average player if the player is willing to.
