Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves is once again being linked with a summer move to Arsenal.
The Portuguese international was one of the names associated with a switch to the Gunners last year, but in the end nothing materialised.
He has two years left on his contract at Molineux, but, although they wish to extend his deal, they also recognise he is ambitious and that he may want to move to a club capable of challenging for honours.
Now the West Midlands club is prepared to let him go, although they have warned prospective suitors that he will command a hefty price.
Neves, though, may be wary of moving to North London after some of the comments he made earlier this season, After the Gunners had defeated his team in the league in February, he complained about how much they celebrated with the travelling fans afterwards.
His comments did not go down well in the Arsenal dressing toom, or with the club’s worldwide fan base.
