In what could potentially signal a significant transfer coup, Arsenal is reportedly eyeing a summer swoop for Wolverhampton Wanderers’ standout performer, Pedro Neto.
The Portuguese international has been in scintillating form since his return from injury, attracting attention from clubs across the Premier League and Europe.
Neto’s impact has been profound, notching up an impressive three goals and a remarkable 10 assists in just 17 appearances for Wolves across all competitions this season.
However, amidst financial uncertainties at Molineux, the club may be compelled to part ways with their prized asset to boost their recruitment budget.
Despite Wolves’ desire to retain Neto’s services beyond the summer, reports suggest that they may need to offload key players to facilitate any significant incoming transfers. The failed January pursuits of targets Yuri Alberto and Armando Broja due to financial constraints underscore the club’s predicament, which could persist into the upcoming transfer window.
For Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, Neto represents an enticing prospect to bolster his squad’s wide options. With competition for places intensifying, Arteta sees Neto as a seamless fit to complement the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard, and Reiss Nelson at the Emirates Stadium.
