Arsenal look set to miss out on the signing of Ruben Neves this summer, with Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly pricing out potential suitors. The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium in recent years, though a deal has never materialised.
With Mikel Arteta in the market for a new midfielder, the Gunners reportedly tabled a £35million for the Portugal international in January, but Bruno Lage's side turned down Edu's offer. Despite missing out then, Arsenal are said to still be interested in acquiring Neves' services amid strong competition from Manchester United and Barcelona.
However, with clubs beginning to circle Neves' situation like vultures, Wolves have set the midfielder's asking price at £75million in a bid to ward off potential suitors, according to The Sun. The north Londoners have already welcomed Fabio Vieira, Matt Turner and Marquinhos this summer, but, if Edu is to listen to Arteta's demands, Arsenal's summer spree could continue.
