Arsenal are continuing to ‘monitor’ the situation of Pedro Neto at Wolverhampton Wanderers after they failed to sign him in the summer, according to a report from the Daily Mirror.

In a recent interview with Wolves manager Gary O’Neil, he had this to say about Neto: “He has been absolutely incredible for the six or seven weeks I have been here. I am really pleased with where Pedro is at.

“He has given absolutely everything and showed a big moment of quality [at Luton] which sums up how he has been for me for the last six weeks.”

Who else, besides Arsenal, are interested in a move for Pedro Neto?

Currently, Arsenal are the frontrunners to complete a deal for the Wolves superstar – nevertheless, they are not completely alone in their pursuit.

Liverpool have been tentatively linked with a move for the player, amid rumours that they were lining up a bid for him in the summer transfer window.

Despite this, it is unclear if Jurgen Klopp’s interest in Neto is still alive – if not, the Gunners may be free of competition for his signature in the January transfer window.

What would Pedro Neto add to the existing squad?

Neto is a top Premier League talent – he proved this in Wolves’ last game, where they defeated champions Manchester City by a score of 2-1 at the Molineux Stadium.

He ran Nathan Ake ragged over the course of the encounter, beating the Dutch international for pace with alarming regularity. He could not contain Neto – even though he did not score or register an assist, he provided a constant threat down the right flank.

Arsenal have an abundance of player who can play on the right wing – however, they do not have a wealth of left wingers in their squad.

Should Arsenal choose to bring Neto on board, he would likely be used as a backup to Bukayo Saka. This would make him a welcomed addition to the team – several audiences believe that Saka is currently playing too many games, noting that his mammoth share of game time could lead to serious ramifications as he grows older.
