Football transfer rumours: Arsenal to sign Wolves’ Pedro Neto for £50m?

Having spent well over £100m, Arsenal want one final signing to seal what has been a quite glorious summer for the Gunners. Top of the league, it’s amazing what a lovely new kit or two, some sublime Ian Wright #content on the socials, and the arrivals of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira (who is nearing full fitness) and William Saliba (who has reportedly signed a new long-term contract after his return from his loan spells) can do for the brand.

Pedro Neto is the latest to be linked to the Emirates, and a fine buy he would be too, giving Arsenal some natural width to go with all their silky, jinking cut-inside-and-finishers. The Wolves winger would not come cheap though, with the Portuguese flyer signing a new five-year contract in March. Bids will start from £50m, apparently, and much depends on the potential departure of Nicolas Pépé to Nice.
