Arsenal Fans Convinced of Next Transfer Target Amid Pedro Neto Blues
In a blow to Arsenal’s summer transfer plans, Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Wolves star Pedro Neto, leaving the Gunners to turn their attention elsewhere. According to reports, Neto’s initial fee will stand at £51 million, with the possibility of rising to £54 million when bonuses are included.
The 24-year-old was a top target for Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta seeking competition for Bukayo Saka on the right side of attack. However, the Spanish manager will now have to look elsewhere to strengthen his squad.
So, where might Arsenal turn next? A theory is gaining traction among fans that the club may make a move for Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk. The Ukrainian star was a target for Arsenal during the January transfer window, but ultimately joined Chelsea in a deal worth £21 million.
Mudryk struggled for form during his first season at Stamford Bridge, but under Mauricio Pochettino, he began to show glimpses of his potential. With Neto off the table, could Arsenal pounce on a reduced fee for the 20-year-old?
Fans are certainly speculating about the possibility, with one Arsenal supporter tweeting: "This is just a hunch, but I do wonder with Neto going to Chelsea, if we will go for Mudryk. Clearly, he’s loved a lot at Arsenal, for how much we were willing to push the boat for him."
Another fan added: "Would be crazy if Arteta pushes for Arsenal to sign Mudryk on a reduced fee. You can feel it in the air." A third supporter chimed in, saying: "Arsenal should go for Mudryk at £30 million, nothing more. There’s still a player there."
While nothing has been officially confirmed, it’s clear that Mudryk’s name is being thrown around as a potential target for Arsenal. Would he be a good fit for the Gunners, or is it a move that’s more likely to happen than actually happen? Only time will tell.
