Arsenal adds Chelsea star to their list of January targets
Arsenal continue to monitor several key names on the transfer market as they could be among the clubs making major signings during the January transfer window.
Mikel Arteta’s side are one of the strongest teams in the league at present, but they face serious competition from Manchester City, who have continued to compete strongly despite the departure of Pep Guardiola.
The Citizens will continue to challenge Arsenal in the standings, meaning the Gunners could need another substantial points total if they are to win the league title. Arsenal are aware of the challenge and could return to the transfer market if they are not satisfied with their squad by the start of January.
One player currently on their radar is Pedro Neto, according to Fichajes. The Portuguese attacker was expected to leave Chelsea during the last transfer window, with several clubs reportedly interested in his services, but he remained at the club.
Arsenal consider move for Neto
The report states that Arsenal could try to lure Neto to the Emirates during the January transfer window. The Gunners view him as a top winger who could strengthen their options in that position.
Neto could provide Arsenal with another attacking option as they look to maintain their level during the second half of the campaign. His ability to operate as a winger could also give Arteta another player to use across the attacking positions.
However, any move could depend on what happens within Arsenal’s squad during the winter window. The club could face interest in Noni Madueke, with several teams already showing interest in the Englishman.
Madueke situation could influence transfer plans
If Arsenal allow Madueke to leave during the middle of the season, they could have greater reason to pursue another winger. Neto could then become an option as the Gunners look to maintain their attacking depth.
For now, Arsenal continue to monitor the situation, while Neto remains a Chelsea player. The January transfer window could provide an opportunity for the Gunners to strengthen their squad if they decide additional attacking quality is required.
Much will depend on Arsenal’s assessment of their squad and any potential interest in Madueke before the winter window opens.
