Mundo Deportivo are reporting this morning that Barcelona goalkeeper Neto wants to join Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal despite interest from Everton.
What’s the story?
Barcelona reportedly want to offload Neto, who himself is open to leaving the Spanish giants.
Arsenal wanted to sign the 31-year-old in the January transfer window and remain interested in the Brazil international goalkeeper.
Everton want to sign the former Valencia star as well, but he wants to join Arsenal.
The goalkeeper is so keen on a transfer that his agent is working to get a deal done with Arsenal right now.
The goalkeeper pushed hard to move to Arsenal in the January transfer window, and he remains keen on a transfer to the North London club.
Good signing for Arsenal?
Neto is a back-up goalkeeper at Barcelona, but he is a good player.
You do not get to play for Barcelona if you do not have quality.
Bernd Leno is the first-choice goalkeeper at Arsenal, but the German needs competition.
Mat Ryan’s loan spell at the Gunners ended at the end of last season, and manager Arteta needs to bring in a new goalkeeper this summer.
