Arsenal have reportedly been working on a potential transfer deal for Wolves winger Pedro Neto for the last month or so.
The Gunners are making Neto their top target in attack, and have been in talks with super-agent Jorge Mendes over the possible deal, though Wolves are not keen on letting him go, according to the Athletic.
Arsenal could do with more options in attack after the lack of impact made by Nicolas Pepe in recent times, and with the Ivory Coast international now being linked with a return to Ligue 1 with Nice, as noted by the Athletic.
Neto could be an ideal replacement after his impressive form in his time in the Premier League with Wolves, though it’s not too surprising that they’d prefer to keep the talented young Portugal international.
Wolves have made some high-profile new signings this summer, though, and the Athletic suggest that this could be interpreted as meaning the club would now be more open to selling players.
