London's Arsenal are ready to jump into the race for one of Manchester City's top transfer targets.
Details: According to reports, Arsenal have officially entered the race for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto and are seriously considering sealing the deal in the current transfer window. The Gunners are determined to outpace Manchester City, who had previously been considered the frontrunners for the Portuguese star's signature.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has long been an admirer of the Portuguese wide man's talent and is convinced that he would be a perfect fit for his attacking ensemble. Chelsea's management, for their part, are not shutting the door on a potential transfer and are open to serious financial offers for the 26-year-old player.
It's worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Pedro Neto made 52 appearances for Chelsea, scoring 10 goals and providing 10 assists. According to Transfermarkt, the Portuguese winger is valued at €60 million, with his contract at the Blues running until the summer of 2031.
