Arsenal defeated Chelsea 2-1 in their recent match, with Martin Odegaard scoring the winning goal. Odegaard, who played for Chelsea before joining Arsenal, celebrated the win against his former club. Chelsea acquired Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers for £51.3 million two years ago. Despite being a relatively new addition to the team, Neto has made an impact, scoring 20 goals for Chelsea.
Arsenal is among the clubs interested in acquiring Neto, along with Manchester City and Al Hilal. Neto's agency and representatives are open to a potential exit from Chelsea. Arsenal previously tried to sign Julian Alvarez during the summer transfer window but was unsuccessful. Enzo Maresca, who has worked with Neto previously, aims to improve the team's width and execution of 1v1 situations.
Chelsea is reportedly seeking £70-80 million for the forward. In the most recent match against Arsenal, Neto had 40 touches and one shot before being substituted in the 81st minute. With the winter transfer window still open, it remains to be seen if Neto will join Arsenal or remain with Chelsea.
