Pedro Neto responds to Arsenal links as Wolves winger reveals transfer 'hope'

Arsenal target Pedro Neto has cooled talk of a January exit from Wolves.

Neto has excelled for Wolves this season, scoring once and laying on six assists, form which has sparked interest from a number of clubs.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of the winger and have continued to track him after he missed around 15 months of the past two seasons due to injury.

Neto, however, has poured cold water on speculation linking him with a move away from Molineux this January.

“I want to say that I am here and I will help everyone,” he told Telegraph Sport. “I love the club and everybody here, I have always felt that it has given a lot to me.

“I’m enjoying the moment here so I will continue to do that. The future and long-term ambitions don’t matter. We will never go down in any situation, we are here to win and fight. I feel really good at the moment and hope to continue.”

After his injury troubles, Neto looks back to his best now and has revealed he is loving life under new Wolves boss Gary O’Neil.

“I feel even better than I was before,” he said. “A player that has confidence is a different player: I always had it but Gary has given me even more.

“I play football because I love it, but the game is what it is because of the fans. When I get the ball and they are pushing me and expecting something special, it’s such a good feeling.”
