Pedro Neto of Wolves has been linked to a move to Arsenal this summer after Man City star Ruben Dias compared him to Cristiano Ronaldo of Man United.
In the midst of rumors that he would transfer to Arsenal this summer, Manchester City star Ruben Dias lauded and compared Wolves winger Pedro Neto to Cristiano Ronaldo. As Mikel Arteta wants to bolster his team even more, it is rumored that the Portuguese forward is being considered as a viable alternative for the Gunners.
With five new signings and more than £100 million in spending during the summer break, the Spaniard has already made quick work of the transfer market. Arsenal has addressed a number of team-wide problems as a result, deepening and enhancing several crucial areas of the field.
Despite the number of players that have been acquired thus far, Arteta suggested that additional acquisitions could still happen with less than a month left in the market. We’re going to try, he said to Sky Sports. Good if we can accomplish them.
“But now it’s work with the players we have, the focus should be with the players we have. You need the right balance because if you come short in terms of physicality in this game, you’re going to be exposed.
“The most important thing is to win the first match, to build confidence and momentum. Then you can talk about things we need to improve – there were quite a few today, to be honest.”
While the majority of transfer-related topics have been covered, one that hasn’t is on the wing, particularly the right. Bukayo Saka has been the main outlet on that side due to Nicolas Pepe’s troubles since his club-record signing from Lille, indicating the potential need for reinforcements there.
Many players have been mentioned, but Pedro Neto of Wolves is the most recent, according to the Express, who claims that the Gunners are very interested in signing the 22-year-old. Should Arteta need more persuasion to sign the Portuguese forward, the winger’s fellow countryman Ruben Dias has heaped praise on him.
The Manchester City defender responded when asked about the finest dribbler on the Premier League YouTube channel last year: “I must mention Cristiano [Ronaldo] once more. He won the Ballon d’Or during his time in this country, and I must also mention [Pedro] Neto and Bernardo [Silva], who is a phenomenon.”
The center-back, who has competed with and against some of the greatest in the world, is expressing high appreciation. It remains to be seen whether Neto will continue to improve while wearing the gold of Wolves or the red of Arsenal, as he makes his long-awaited comeback from injury this season.
