Arsenal are exploring a deal for Wolves winger Pedro Neto – according to reports.
Transfer guru David Ornstein reported today (22 August) that the 22-year-old Portuguese had been the subject of serious interest from the Gunners, with discussions ongoing for a number of weeks.
The deal is apparently contingent on Arsenal being able to secure a move for Nicolas Pepe, with OGC of Ligue 1 in France said to be interested.
In the Athletic, Ornstein said: “[Arsenal’s] top target at present, The Athletic has learned, is Pedro Neto of Wolverhampton Wanderers.
“Talks are said to have been taking place for more than a month and central to the dialogue is the intermediary Jorge Mendes, who represents Neto and is closely linked to operations at Molineux.
“Conversations so far have involved Mendes liaising with Arsenal and Wolves separately. While the interest from the Emirates Stadium is concrete and unanimous, their counterparts do not plan to sell the 22-year-old this summer. Neto extended his contract in March, committing him until 2027.”
