Arsenal would surely do well to invest big money in a promising young talent like Neto, who would be a major upgrade on the struggling Nicolas Pepe up front.
Mikel Arteta has invested well in Gabriel Jesus this summer, but further attacking additions would surely help make this team more of a force again after they narrowly missed out on the top four last term after suffering from the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Man Utd also need to make changes in that area of the pitch, and they may well view Neto as tempting given the current poor form of the likes of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Jadon Sancho.
Still, it seems the Red Devils are focusing on other options in attack, with Fabrizio Romano naming Antony and Cody Gakpo as their main targets in his CaughtOffside column this morning.
This Neto is not better than Marquinos. His stats are empty. Why is Arsenal interested in him? What’s wrong with Pino?
If we are looking for a player to make a difference, Pino, Gakpo, Diaby and perhaps Mykhaylo Mudryk are the right names to consider.
the Ukrainian Neymar is far better than Neto who dribbles looking down. Pino is ideal.
