Arsenal expresses confidence in the potential signings of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Pedro Neto and Brentford’s Ivan Toney for the upcoming transfer window. The club’s scouts observed the duo’s performances during a recent match between Wolves and Brentford. According to transfer insider Dean Jones, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has been eyeing Neto and Toney for over a year.
Despite already securing significant signings last summer, Arsenal seems poised to allocate a substantial budget for potential recruits in the 2024/25 season. Arteta is proactive in planning for the future, even though the current transfer window closed recently.
Gunners scouts monitored Toney and Neto’s performances closely during the Wolves vs. Brentford game, indicating Arteta’s continued interest in both players. Toney’s impressive goal-scoring record this season has attracted attention from other clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. Brentford’s manager Thomas Frank has hinted at a potential summer move for Toney.
Arsenal received encouragement in their pursuit of Toney as transfer expert Fabrizio Romano suggested the player’s willingness to join the Emirates Stadium. Meanwhile, Wolverhampton Wanderers may consider selling Neto to raise funds, although his price tag could reach £70 million due to interest from multiple clubs.
Jones emphasizes Arsenal’s confidence in Neto and Toney’s abilities, highlighting the club’s readiness to engage in negotiations when the transfer window reopens in the summer.
