Ruben Neves has told his Wolverhampton Wanderers teammates that he wants to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, according to The Daily Mail.
Arsenal are reportedly planing to make an offer for Neves this week and Wolves are open to selling the midfielder at the right price.
The report has added that the Portugal international midfielder is aware of interest from the Gunners.
Furthermore, Neves has reportedly indicated to his Wolves teammates his willingness to move to Arsenal.
This is now becoming very interesting for Arsenal.
Emiliano Buendia snubbing Arsenal for Aston Villa must have been really disappointing for the Emirates Stadium faithful.
However, a quality player like Neves reportedly being willing to move to Arsenal underlines the pull that the North London club still have.
Neves is a central midfielder who can score goals and also gives assists.
In fact, this past season, the 24-year-old scored five goals and gave one assist in the Premier League.
The Portuguese scored two goals and gave two assists in the league in 2019-20.
Neves has done well for Wolves over the past few years and is ready to take the next step in his career.
The Portuguese could form a strong partnership with Thomas Partey in the middle of the park for Arsenal.
