Fabrizio Romano has warned Arsenal not to expect things all their own way if and when they launch a transfer bid for Wolves winger Pedro Neto in 2024.
Arsenal have been long-time admirers of the Wolves star, who is coming back into his best form after a long-term injury damaged his progress for the best part of 18 months.
Although Wolves have had a difficult start to the season, Neto has been a consistent source of excellence for them. In the past five Premier League matches, he has four assists and a goal, while he was a key figure as Gary O’Neil stunned champions Manchester City 2-1 at the weekend.

This form has seen him catch the eye of several top clubs, according to Romano, who says that Arsenal won’t be the only team interested in the 23-year-old, who is under contract at Molineux until June 2027.
“Keep an eye on a big name for 2024, Pedro Neto, who’s been fantastic at Wolves,” Romano told his YouTube channel. “Really performing at a super level and very good again against Manchester City.
“We’ll let Wolves enjoy this special player because he is a Wolves player, but there’s a feeling that in 2024 many important clubs will arrive for Pedro Neto. He’s a special winger, fast, can provide assists, score goals, so a very good player, but probably underrated sometimes in the media.

“You remember one year ago that Arsenal were tracking the player, so they know Pedro Neto very well and he’s always been appreciated by people at Arsenal, but there are also other clubs keeping an eye on the situation.
“At the moment I can’t say more, but I can guarantee to you that many clubs are considering this boom of Pedro Neto, who is doing special things in the Premier League this season.
“Clubs already know that he’s a very good player who will become a special player.
“That’s why in 2024, the situation of Pedro Neto could be one to watch.”
Liverpool and Manchester United are Arsenal’s Premier League rivals who could be interested in Pedro Neto, while Real Madrid are another club who may take an interest in the player.
