Arsenal will reportedly assess the fitness of Pedro Neto before deciding to launch the offensive to sign the Portuguese international from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
According to a report by Football Transfers, Pedro Neto is the subject of interest from Arsenal. Wolverhampton Wanderers want around £43 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window. However, the Gunners want to assess his fitness before launching the offensive to sign the Portuguese international.
Pedro Neto and his Molineux journey
Pedro Neto has been a dependable performer for Wolverhampton Wanderers since arriving from Lazio in August 2019. While the 24-year-old has struggled with a few fitness issues in the last half a decade, he has made his mark whenever he has taken the field for the Black Country outfit.
The Portuguese international enjoyed a solid 2023/24 campaign, amassing three goals and 11 assists in 24 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Neto’s progress at Wolverhampton Wanderers has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe.
Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are mulling over a potential move for the former Lazio winger. Recent reports have pointed to Newcastle United submitting an enquiry to secure his services in the summer transfer window. However, Arsenal might compete with the Tyneside outfit for the Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker, who will cost around £43 million.
London calling?
Arsenal’s interest in Wolverhampton Wanderers is understandable. Mikel Arteta wants two top-class options for every position in the starting lineup, making a wide attacking reinforcement a priority for the summer transfer window. The Wolverhampton Wanderers star has thus emerged as a viable target for the North London club.
However, Arsenal will not launch the offensive to secure Pedro Neto’s services in the summer transfer window before completing a medical assessment of the Portuguese international. Neto has struggled with a few fitness issues, making him a risky target for the North London club.
Arsenal should have the funds to secure Pedro Neto’s services in the summer transfer window for a deal worth £43 million. However, a move for the £43 million-rated Portuguese international will not see the light of day if the North London club’s medical assessment does not yield the required results.
