Arsenal are one of the clubs interested in signing Wolves winger Pedro Neto.
There are increasing concerns about the amount of injuries that Bukayo Saka is picking up, and, although the England international virtually starts every game, Gunners’ fans wince every time he goes down, and there are indications that he has a long-term hamstring issue.
(He did miss the Manchester City, game, though at the weekend).
Finding a reliable back-up is regarded as an imperative and Portuguese Neto is one of the names top of their list.
Despite a host of clubs being interested in him, Wolves were able to keep them at bay in the summer, with the player under contract at Molineux until 2027.
However, the fine start that he has made to this season, with an eye-catching performance against Manchester City recently, means that the demand for him is likely to grow.
Wolves are not so wealthy that they can afford to turn down the right offer for a player.
