Pedro Neto is one of the best young players at Wolverhampton Wanderers, and Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal have been linked with the winger.

Earlier this month, The Telegraph reported that Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto is a long-term target of Arsenal.

The report claimed that Arsenal inquired about Neto and tried to sign the 23-year-old Portugal international winger in the summer transfer window.

No transfer happened.

Neto is still at Wolves.

And, he is playing well.

Neto has scored one goal and given four assists in six Premier League matches for Wolves so far this season.

Paul Merson praises Arsenal target Pedro Neto

Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has been impressed with Neto.

The Sky Sports pundit believes that Neto could leave Wolves for a bigger club in the future.

Merson wrote in SportsKeeda: “Pedro Neto is starting the produce the end product that once eluded him – some of the biggest teams in world football are going to be queuing up for him next year. 

“If he keeps playing like this, he might even get a few offers to leave Wolves in January – he’s destined for big things.”

Arsenal should continue to monitor Pedro Neto

In our view, Arsenal should continue to monitor Pedro Neto.

Neto is only 23 and has a huge future ahead of him.

The winger is only going to get better in the coming years.

Yes, Arsenal are well stocked in wide areas now, but you never know what could happen in the future.

Arsenal are aiming to win the Premier League title on a regular basis and also make an impact in the UEFA Champions League.

The Gunners need more quality players.

In our opinion, Neto would be a very good signing for Arsenal, not just for now, but for years to come as well.

Neto has made 97 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.

The winger has scored 10 goals and given 14 assists in those games.
