Wolves legend names the price Arsenal will have to pay to sign ‘unbelievable’ Pedro Neto
Arsenal will have to fork out between £50-70million if they want to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto.
That is the opinion of Wolves Honorary Vice-President and club legend Steve Bull, who admits he’s worried that the ‘unbelievable’ winger will leave Molineux in the near-future.
Neto has started this season in sensational form, with one goal and five assists in eight Premier League games, for a side that many predicted would struggle to stay in the top-flight.
The Portugal international has always been recognised as a great talent since his move to Wolves in 2019, though serious knee and ankle injuries have heavily restricted his game time and output over the last two campaigns.
His form has put him back on the radar of Arsenal however, who were linked with the 23-year-old last year, only to turn their attention to Mykhailo Mudryk and then Leandro Trossard.
Mikel Arteta is keen to bolster his options on the right-wing, especially following the injury to talisman Bukayo Saka, though he may face competition for Neto when the transfer window re-opens in January.
Wolves had previously valued their star player at around £50m, but given his importance to them, and the recent loss of other key players, Bull thinks that figure has only gone up, exclusively telling Ladbrokes Fanzone: ‘I’m worried about Pedro Neto and his future though, to be honest.
‘He’s absolutely flying at the moment, and if it was up to me, I’d pen him down for another five-year deal and pay him what he wants, because I really do think he’s that good. The talent and skill he’s got, it’s unbelievable.
‘The understanding he’s got with his teammates now, as well… it’s really good to see. He set up the goal against [Aston] Villa and it was basically a carbon copy of the one against Luton from a couple of weeks ago; it’s all coming from Neto, basically.
‘He gets to the ball quickly, takes his man on, he got the goal against Luton but against Villa it was Hwang [Hee-chan], bang, goal. He’s a tricky, tricky player.
