Arsenal set to revive Pedro Neto transfer interest as Mikel Arteta targets Wolves winger for Champions League campaign
Sponsored by
ARSENAL are reportedly set to revive their interest in Wolves star Pedro Neto to boost their Champions League campaign.
That’s after failing with a £50million move for the winger last summer.
Mikel Arteta was keen on landing Neto before the start of the season as competition for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
Neto established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest young wingers before suffering several serious injuries.
And claims he is back on Arteta’s shopping list after returning to action last month.
The three-time Portugal international joined Wolves from Braga in 2019.

He has gone on to score 11 goals in 107 games.
But boss Julen Lopetegui is open to selling players so he can make his own signings this summer.
Wolves have plenty of options in the wide areas.
And Neto could be allowed to go for the right price.

The player himself is open to making an Emirates switch.
Indeed, Neto is even “flattered” that Arsenal are still interested after his second long-term injury in as many years.
Should he join, left-footed Neto would likely play second fiddle to star man Saka.
Arsenal already moved to strengthen the opposite flank in January by raiding Brighton for Leandro Trossard.
And Neto could end up replacing club-grown Reiss Nelson, who is out of contract this summer.
Arsenal are believed to have offered him a new deal following some match-winning cameos this term.
But Nelson is already concerned by his lack of minutes, which would stand to become even less with Neto’s arrival.
And he could instead jump ship on a free transfer to one of West Ham, Brighton, Aston Villa or Fulham.
