Former Arsenal icon Paul Merson has urged both the Gunners and Manchester United to sign Wolves midfield star Ruben Neves this summer. It comes amid reports linking the two sides with the Portugal international.
Mikel Arteta is said to be keen to add to his central ranks in the transfer window, with Mohamed Elneny set to leave as a free agent while Granit Xhaka only has one-year left on his deal. The overall depth beyond them two, and Albert Sambi Lokonga and Thomas Partey, is very limited, leaving the Spaniard with the choice to strengthen.
There was, reportedly, an attempt to address this in January, with reports linking the Gunners with a move for Juventus midfielder Arthur Melo. Despite those links, Arsenal opted against signing anyone, letting a number of fringe players leave.
