Posted by According to reports, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta would rather have winger Pedro Neto from Wolves than striker Ivan Toney from Brentford if the transfer window reopens in January.
FootballTransfers (h/t CaughtOffside) reports that Arteta wants Neto to help relieve some of the pressure on Bukayo Saka.
According to the report, Arsenal has a tight transfer budget but would pay £40 million for the Portugal international.
Neto, a player for Wolves, is reportedly worth £70 million to the club.
Since joining Wolves from Serie A club Lazio in 2019, Neto has recorded 12 goals and 18 assists in 119 games.
The 23-year-old has played in eight games for Wolves, contributing one goal and five assists.
In the summer of 2027, his contract with the Wolves will end.
