Fabrizio Romano has just revealed the latest on Arsenal’s pursuit of Wolves winger Pedro Neto. According to the European transfer guru, Arsenal is looking for wingers in the transfer market.
He has stated that the Gunners have a long list of wingers they are considering for a summer transfer. However, we should closely monitor Pedro Neto, as he could be their top transfer target.
Apparently, the Gunners and other Neto suitors, like Spurs, are waiting for Wolves to divulge the asking price before the transfer war begins.
Romano said on CaughtOffside: “Arsenal have some wingers in their sights for the summer, but while it’s normal to see a long list of names linked with clubs in this situation, who’s really emerging as the main options on Arsenal’s list?
“Pedro Neto is a player Arsenal like and have looked at before, but we have to wait for Wolves to decide initial price tag to understand what Arsenal, Tottenham and more clubs will decide to do.”
With two goals and nine assists in 19 league games, Neto is a player who many believe deserves a move to Emirates.
But what about his persistent injuries? Will teams overlook them? We will have to wait and see.
However, if Arsenal signs Neto (or another winger), he may be an excellent backup for Saka. The Hale End graduate has been outstanding on Arsenal’s right wing, making him virtually unstoppable. This has resulted in him having a heavy workload, raising worries about his long-term dependability. Ultimately, Mikel Arteta may be pushing hard to add a quality winger to his squad in order to protect his ‘star boy’.

2 goals stored and 9 assists provided in 19 Epl matches this season by Pedro Neto for Wolves. I am afraid those figures achieved by him doesn’t make him look Arsenal standard. Who is worthy of signing by the Gunners next summer.
So therefore, I will suggest that Arsenal SHOULD exponge his name out of their list of top finish article wingers for a possible signing by them next summer.
Pass on Neto. Overvalued, and too injury prone to spend funds on him.
I do really like Neto as a player, he is exciting to watch… But… he is going to be very expensive and he’s another sick note like Partey.
I would prefer we go for Bailey of Aston Villa.
High risk because of his injury record so we can score him off any list for additional wingers which we do not need in any event.
He’s got a terrible injury record and I think is out now for the rest of the season having sustained another hamstring injury.
All this is simply distraction. Sign Goykeres and Zubimendi or another strong midfielder.
Nwaneri is ready for the next step up. Bring him in as a backup to Saka. He can play in that position and as attacking midfielder.
If there are still funds to spare, we can then talk about others.
