Arsenal is reportedly interested in both Wolves’ Pedro Neto and PSG’s Xavi Simons, who is currently shining on loan at RB Leipzig. Despite having splurged on top players last summer, the Gunners are expected to continue reinforcing their squad at the end of the current season.
While fans initially anticipated several signings during the current transfer window, the prevailing market conditions, coupled with financial constraints, may necessitate a delay in acquiring new players.
Football Transfers reveals that although Arsenal has an interest in Xavi Simons, manager Mikel Arteta’s first choice remains Pedro Neto. The Wolves winger is regarded as one of the most challenging attackers in the Premier League and has attracted attention from multiple top-flight clubs.
Wolves, historically a selling club, might be compelled to part ways with Neto in the summer, providing Arsenal with an opportunity to secure his services. Simons is also considered an attractive option, but as per reports, Arsenal is leaning towards a move for Neto over the Dutch attacker.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Neto and Simons are good players, but Neto probably has an advantage as he currently plays in the Premier League.

Santiago Gimenez or Mbappe, both are consistent 20 plus goal scorers over the past 3 years. Others have not shown that 3 year consistency.
Neto’s injury record is a major concern firstly.
Secondly, why invest so much money in a winger who is not a starter? There are other options available for less. We can invest in other positions as well.
I have said before, investing in a top striker allows Jesus to switch between the RW and striker positions.
The club needs to be more creative in transfers, and maximize some players versatility in playing positions.
Tomiyasu as LB, RB, CB,
White as RB and CB
Trossard as LW and Striker
Just a few examples of the versatility available. Having a top striker with Martinelli and Jesus on the wings is still a very threatening attack.
We can’t continue spending 150 million or more every Summer.
Simons is the real deal and has shown consistency since last campaign. He is younger and can play very well as a center forward as well.
But I think PSVG won’t sell him when Mbappe leaves
Bar any injury layoff suffered that disrupted the consistency in high number of goals scoring scored per season by a forward.
Arsenal SHOULD not make the mistakes to go and sign any new attacking forward player this window. Who has no consistency record of top league 20+ goals regularly scored per season campaign.
in the light of this, Arteta and Edu SHOULD continue in their searches in the leagues this season to find the right caliber of forward player this window.
Who has a strong steady high number of goals scoring of 20+ goals scored per season regularly scored at the top level of the game. And sign him up.
Hopefully, devoid of FFP hindrance in this January transfer window. Arsenal will find that right caliber of forearm player. And who will fit-in into Arteta’s game playing philosophy at Arsenal. And sign him this window. But not wait till next warmer ti do his signing.
Arsenal should have wrapped up a deal for this lad many moons ago.
Which of them?
Personally, I agree with Durand.
If we get a good and established goal scorer, we could even sell both Nkettiah and Nelson while deploying Jesus to the wings and Havertz as an alternative striker.
The midfield will be crying for heavy investment when (as most likely is) Elneny and Partey or Joginho leave in the summer.
The mystery winger Neto, he seems to have been link with Arsenal forever,
But his recent injury record may turn us off couple with his massive price tag now touted.
But I like your idea of strengthening the spine in midfield, but we seems to lack proper planning as this should have been addressed in the summer.
