3 reasons why Pedro Neto would be a brilliant signing for Arsenal

Arsenal’s “mystery winger” has been revealed to be Pedro Neto from Wolves as Mikel Arteta eyes to bring in stiffer competition for the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

It has been no secret that Arsenal have been in the market for a new winger. For much of the summer, the Gunners have held their cards close to their chests as no information gets out unless they want it to.

Speculation had been rife as to who Arteta was chasing. We know any move was predicated on the Gunners moving on some fringe players, and with Nicolas Pepe’s impending loan to Nice in Ligue 1, the door opened for a chance to sign another winger.

David Ornstein dropped the bomb that the Gunners were in talks to sign Neto from Wolves, and the move has been met with utter adulation from Arsenal fans, and rightly so.

Here are three reasons why Neto would be the perfect signing for Arsenal.

This is something that we have seen Mikel Arteta chase: A player who already has Premier League experience.

With the 22-year-old Portuguese winger playing in England’s top flight for the last four years, he knows what to expect every week. Having scored nine goals and provided ten assists in his 76 league games, Arsenal know what they are getting.

There will be no need for him to be eased in slowly so he can adjust to the pace of the league; he will be ready to go from the day he is signed.

We have seen the form of Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, and what is the common theme between those two? Premier League proven.
