Arsenal wants to get help from Nuno Mendes in their bid to sign Pedro Neto in this transfer window.
They have registered a late interest in the Portugal international, and Wolverhampton Wanderers want to keep him.
It is a transfer that will cost Arsenal a lot of money, but they will want to make it happen if they offload Nicolas Pepe.
The Ivorian is close to joining Nice, and his departure will leave a void in the Arsenal squad.
Neto is their first choice to replace him, but it would not be easy to add him to their squad.
The Telegraph says they now hope to speak to his agent, Mendes, who also represents Cristiano Ronaldo.
Arsenal hope he can mediate the transfer and help them add the winger to their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Adding Neto to our squad is doable, but it would be hard to pull off because it is already late in the transfer window.
If we are willing to spend the money, Mendes could speak to Wolves and probably find a replacement for him immediately, which could facilitate his transfer to the Emirates.
Adding him to our squad could limit the playing chances of Bukayo Saka, but that type of competition will force both players to be at their best always.

I don’t really understand why Ronaldo would help us?

Now confirmed on the club website that Pepe has joined Nice (subject to regulatory processes).
So we may see some movement on any other inbound transfers that were planned (if any really are), since it also looks as though AMN is heading out – with a few PL clubs interested and no need to replace him, it should be do-able in the short time left in the transfer window.
That would be a pretty good window in itself by Edu – he shifted all that needs to be shifted in the outward direction and brought in a lot of good players early.
The most underrated people are Mikel and Edu, Edu had a herculean task of getting rid of the underwhelming players he inherited from Mr Wenger, Raul and Sven. And Mikel who changed a bunch of underperformers to a table topping team. And a big shout out to Stan for standing with Mikel when some fans with myopic disorders wanted him gone.
Neto would be a great buy but he is way too expensive. Pino of Villa Real is another option, but I think Arsenal will buy an attacker and a midfielder before the window shuts down.
