The transfer window is closed for now in the Premier League, but the clubs have of course set their sights on must-have signing in January. For Arsenal, the must-have player is at Stamford Bridge.
Last season, Pedro Neto was behind 10 goals and 10 assists for a struggling Chelsea. This season, the Portuguese right winger has continued to play big.

Neto retains his top spot on international transfer lists as one of the market’s most sought-after wingers. According to Caughtoffside’s sources , Chelsea have a price tag on the 26-year-old of up to £80 million.
According to the sources, Premier League title contenders Arsenal and Manchester City have both made enquiries through representatives, with Neto’s representatives keeping the lines open to interested clubs to assess market conditions and lay the groundwork. Clubs that follow the player closely are expected to resume official contact with Chelsea’s board during the winter transfer window. Here, Arsenal should be one of the most active.
Mikel Artetas is looking for a dynamic, Premier League pioneering player to ease the workload on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli in their wing rotation.
Chelsea’s management and coaching staff see Pedro Neto as a valuable asset in their current project. However, the club is still prepared to consider incoming proposals for the Portuguese international.
Will be exciting to follow!
