Arsenal don show genuine interest for Chelsea forward Pedro Neto, with report say di winger fit leave Stamford Bridge for around £70m to £75m. According to Chelsea reporter Si Phillips, di Gunners dey among clubs wey don ask about di Portugal international. But wetin make this tin sweet pass na say if Arsenal complete am, e go scatter Tottenham own plans.
Mikel Arteta side don try hard to add to dia forward line, but plenty deals don collapse. Dem bin dey linked with Morgan Rogers, Yan Diomande, Vinicius Junior and Bradley Barcola, but all no come through. After Vinicius sign new contract for Real Madrid, Arsenal bin switch go Iliman Ndiaye, Nico Williams and Kenan Yildiz, but now Neto don enter dia radar.
Si Phillips talk say Chelsea go sell Neto if di price dey right. “I believe similar sort of money wey dem dey ask for Malo Gusto, which reportedly around £70-£75m,” Phillips tok. “I no think say Neto reach that much, but e go be around that ballpark figure.”
Neto sef no dey look to leave, but e dey open to hear wetin clubs dey offer. Interest dey from Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City, but City don already make contact with im camp. However, Arsenal dey watch am too, and dis fit affect City plan.
Di story get twist because City wan sign new winger before dem go allow Savinho finish im move to Tottenham. If Arsenal take Neto, City no go fit sell Savinho go Spurs, so na double win for Gunners.
But k-leg dey for dis deal. Neto na left-footed player wey dey play for right side, where Bukayo Saka dey. Arsenal true true need right-footed left winger, like Rogers and Vinicius wey dem bin dey chase. Still, di chance to disrupt two rivals fit make dem think well.
Former Arsenal forward Jeremie Aliadiere don join di matter, telling dem to hijack City pursuit of Neto. E say di £70m deal fit make sense for Gunners as dem dey search for winger. Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano insist Chelsea still want keep Neto, even after City make formal approach.
