Arsenal have alternatives lined up if they are unable to strike a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto, including Yeremy Pino, according to Ryan Taylor of The Express. Mikel Arteta has overseen a busy summer of business at the Emirates but can still add to his squad ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
According to The Athletic, Neto has emerged as Arsenal’s top target in the wake of Nicolas Pepe’s departure to Nice. The report states that talks with the player’s agent Jorge Mendes have taken place for more than a month now with Arteta seemingly eager to bolster his wide options ahead of the deadline.
Arsenal are understood to want to seal a deal for the 22-year-old for £35 million, whereas they are asking for closer to £50 million at Molineux.
Another name to be linked with the Gunners is exciting Villarreal youngster Pino. Arsenal, along with Liverpool, are interested in signing the 19-year-old, according to Spanish outlet AS, with the Yellow Submarine willing to do a deal in order to ease their financial problems.
