Arsenal take a step to sign Asensio – Arteta joins Pepe – Arsenal are working on Neto’s deal in Arsenal
Arsenal have been working on Wolves star Pedro Neto for the past three to four weeks, says Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.
Mikel Arteta has managed to spend some serious money this transfer window on signings that have already made a huge impact in the Emirates – and his side now look like a real top four contenders.
However – that won’t stop him from trying to bring more players to the club by the end of the transfer window – and now Neto is on his shopping list. Arsenal
Neto is one of the Premier League’s best young talents and a player all the big clubs were willing to move for – before the serious injury that kept him out for most of last season.
But Wolves are looking for at least £50m despite signing a ready replacement for £27.5m Goncalo Guedes from Valencia.
However – with the transfer window closing in a few days – Taylor opened up and claimed Arsenal have been working on a winger deal for the past two weeks – perhaps
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, the Daily Express journalist said: “I have a real feeling that Neto is one of the people who kind of worked on him for three to four weeks, really.
“But the [Morgan] Gibbs-White’s situation complicated matters.”

Neto is proven in the Premier League – he’s a fantastic talent and certainly worth the £50m price tag – so he’d be a great signing for Arsenal If they can complete the deal

Arteta enters Bibi –
Mikel Arteta has revealed his decision to allow Nicolas Pepe to leave the club and sign for French club Nice
The record £72m signing has struggled to hold onto a place in Mikel Arteta’s starting line-up and has been linked with a recent departure, with players such as Lyon and Marseille reportedly following the player’s position at Arsenal with interest amid reports of the player. He was assessing his options during the January transfer window.
However, despite all the speculation and despite all the rumors that he could actually leave the club in January, Pepe chose to stay at the club and try to fight for his place in the squad.
However – he failed to make any kind of impact at the club during the end of last season and during pre-season – and Arsenal made the decision to let him leave this transfer window.
Explaining his decision to allow the player to leave, Arteta told reporters: ‘It’s been three years since he joined the club and he’s had very good moments, some of which have not contributed much to the squad in terms of minutes.
We decided it was the best decision for each party to let him go.
“He needs to play football, he was determined to do that.”
I think he tried to deal with that [his price tag] Arteta added.
He is not responsible for the price. I have tried everything. His appearance is unusual, if you meet him you will love him. But we have to make decisions. We made other decisions and that had an impact on his chances of proving his competence.”
When asked if he could come back and play for Arsenal, Arteta replied:
He needs his minutes, he’s been talking to me a lot about it. I couldn’t guarantee that now.
If you stay in that period for too long, frustration will come and the level of performance will not be what we want. In the end we came to this decision.
Asensio moves –
It was once again said that Arsenal are now interested in signing Marcos Asensio from Real Madrid after Nicolas Pepe was left leaving the club.

Just a few days ago he joined Nice on a season-long loan – but with the transfer window closing in a few days – Arsenal will be looking to add a winger to the side.
Asensio won three La Liga titles and three Champions League titles during his time at Madrid, but the winger started just 21 games in both competitions last season.

And according to reports on the SUN website – Arsenal have contacted Madrid about a possible Asensio loan deal
