Man City aiming to hijack Arsenal chance of signing new forward despite having Haaland and Alvarez in their ranks
You could say that Mikel Arteta has no choice on Arsenal’s left wing because, even if Martinelli is not available, he can choose between Reiss Nelson, Emile Smith Rowe or Leandro Trossard.
However, Saka has made the right wing his own and no one in Arsenal can play like him, so Arteta is overly dependent on him.
But this over-reliance must be reduced if Arsenal are to grow. The only way to end this is for Arsenal to sign a good right winger.
Pedro Neto has long been considered one of the best right wingers in the Premier League and it is likely that Arsenal will be interested in signing him if they want to find Sako’s replacement. Neto is great because he not only has tricks in his game, but also creates chances for his teammates and regularly assists goals.
One of the obstacles to signing the Portuguese winger was his high price tag. But as Arsenal pondered how much they would have to pay to bring him to the Emirates, another obstacle emerged.
Manchester City entered the race to sign the Wolves winger. According to Football Transfers, they are so determined for him to join them that they are willing to guarantee him a regular spot. Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva are already trying to persuade him to choose them over Arsenal, according to the publication.
Gooners hope that Arsenal’s general interest in his services has already convinced him that his future lies at the Emirates. Rice was so convinced that Arsenal was the next step for him that he turned down Manchester City; let’s hope the same thing will happen when Arteta and Guardiola fight over Neto.
