Arsenal in the hunt for £80m ace that Pep Guardiola called “an incredible player”

In their last five games in all competitions, they’ve won 6-0 away at West Ham and Sheffield United, beaten Burnley 5-0 at Turf Moor and Newcastle 4-1 at the Emirates. Their only defeat was to a 94th minute Sporting winner in the Champions League.

North London rivals, Tottenham Hotspur, and Man United are also credited with an interest for the player, who is believed to be valued at around the £80m mark.
At just 23 years of age, Neto has already made a real name for himself in the Premier League, and with the majority of his career – including his supposed peak years – still ahead of him, he would arguably be an astute purchase for whomever is able to secure his signature.
