Arsenal target Pedro Neto is unlikely to force a move to the Emirates Stadium, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs. The Portugal international has emerged as Mikel Arteta’s sole focus in the final days of the transfer window, but Jacobs now reckons that a switch to north London is “improbable” at the moment.
Having tried to sign Raphinha prior to his move to Barcelona earlier this summer, it quickly became clear that signing a winger was a priority for Arsenal.
Following Nicolas Pepe’s loan to Nice, Arteta has just three wide players at his disposal and one of those is Emile Smith Rowe, who’s enjoyed much of his good work through the middle.
Therefore, The Athletic claim that Neto is Arsenal’s top wide target, although the 22-year-old, described as ‘incredible‘ by Pep Guardiola’, only signed a new long-term contract in March, which means Wolves are in a strong position around the negotiating table.
