Arsenal are reportedly showing a keen interest in acquiring Portuguese winger Pedro Neto, as per reports from Fichajes.
The Gunners are actively exploring the possibility of bringing in the 23-year-old from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Neto is currently under contract with Wolves until the summer of 2027, implying that his transfer fee could be substantial.
However, the North London outfit's willingness to invest heavily in his acquisition remains to be seen. The Portugal international has had a stellar start to the Premier League season, already registering four assists, with only Bukayo Saka creating more goal-scoring opportunities.
The prospect of advancing his career by joining a prominent club like Arsenal is undoubtedly appealing for the winger. Whether the Wanderers will permit his departure during the middle of the season remains uncertain.
While writing in his Daily briefing with CaughtOffside, Fabrizio Romano explained the situation:
"Pedro Neto is having a fantastic season, he’s really performing at a super level recently and in particular against Manchester City this weekend, so what’s his situation?
Of course, he’s a Wolves player and we need to respect that and to allow them to enjoy this incredible talent, but, at the same time, there is the feeling that in 2024 we will see important clubs coming in for Neto. There’s no clarity at all on the price tag now, also because in the summer for Wolves it was not even a topic to sell Pedro Neto, he was untouchable.
“Arsenal have been tracking the player, they know the player very well, and they wanted him last year, but there are also other clubs keeping an eye on the situation. But as I said, in 2024 Neto’s situation could be one to watch.”
