A highly regarded wide player in the Premier League has caught Mikel Arteta’s attention, but there is one problem that might keep a trade from happening.
After Riccardo Calafiori arrived and Mikel Merino is set to sign Arsenal is still eager to recruit more players this summer.
To put together a team that can win the Premier League, Mikel Arteta is still hoping to add an attacker.
Having said that, it has just surfaced that he has a serious crush on a Premier League star, but there’s a catch.
Mikel Arteta, a huge Pedro Neto fan
The Independent claims that Mikel Arteta is excited to get a winger this summer and that Pedro Neto is a player he greatly admires.
His injury history raises questions, though, as does the wisdom of spending almost £55 million to recruit him.
With just 18 league starts due to a hamstring injury that continued to hinder his availability, Neto had a rollercoaster of a season in 2017.
The 24-year-old was chosen for Portugal’s Euro 2024 squad and managed to contribute 14 goals in all competitions.
Alexander Isak is wanted by Arsenal
Alexander Isak, a striker for Newcastle United, is also a target for Arsenal because of his 25 goals from the previous campaign.
However, The Magpies intend to hold onto Isak in addition to top players Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon, who is also on The Gunners’ transfer wish list.
