The winger only penned a new five-year deal with the club back in March, a contract that runs until the summer of 2027.

If we can do that, we will try to do that. The Gunners are claimed to have held talks with the super agent Jorge Mendes for over a month regarding the Portugal international. Wolves do not want to sell Neto, who joined the club from Braga in 2019. The report says Neto's representative Mendes has acted as an intermediary in the talks.

Arsenal are also in the market for a midfielder, with Leicester's Youri Tielemans continuing to be linked. He signed a new contract at Molineux in March to extend his deal until 2027.

Arsenal technical director Edu has implemented his own transfer strategy to sign Pedro Neto as shown by successful £34m deal.

However, Arsenal showed restraint with the attempted deals for both Raphinha and Lisandro Martinez, demonstrating that they will not overpay relative to their valuation of players. Strange considering the amounts spent on the likes of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez to name just two examples. The £34 million deal was secured thanks to Edu’s relationship with Mendes and now it could benefit the club again with a major summer target. Mendes is said to be in talks with both Arsenal and Wolves separately but there is an understanding the west midlands side do not want to sell. This has much to do with technical director [Edu](https://www.football.london/arsenal-fc/transfer-news/edu-arsenal-transfers-thomas-partey-24785085). Thanks to his work off the field, which began when his playing days concluded, the former invincible has collected quite the little black book of contacts. Arsene Wenger was one of the first to delve into detailed scouting analytics and used data to inform his recruitment strategy. It also furthers Arteta’s approach of targeting Premier League proven talent.

This is already the Portuguese international's fourth season with Wolves, with whom he has scored eleven goals and provided ten assists in 95 official appearances. The Wolverhampton Wanderers striker, who is also on the radar of PSG and Manchester United, could leave his club for a fee in the region of 60 million euros.
