Arsenal could lure Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto to the Emirates Stadium as there is a ‘very high chance’ of a late bid being lodged, according to transfer insider Dean Jones. The Gunners have spent close to £120million on freshening up boss Mikel Arteta’s squad, but further reinforcements may be drafted in ahead of the 11pm deadline on September 1.
With French outfit Nice signing Nicolas Pepe on a season-long loan, the chances of a new winger heading to Arsenal have increased.
According to The Athletic, Wolves talisman Neto has been identified as Arteta’s top target ahead of the transfer window slamming shut.
The report suggests agent Jorge Mendes has been liaising with the Gunners and Wolves separately while discussions over the three-cap Portugal international have been taking place for more than a month.
