Arsenal, Liverpool and manchester united They are reportedly in a battle over a deal to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers star Pedro Neto this summer, according to the transfer journalist David Ornstein.
The 23-year-old has shown promising performances for Gary O'Neil's side this season, scoring two goals and registering nine assists in 16 league appearances.
It seems that after being impressed by the Portuguese's recent eye-catching performances, several big English clubs have shown interest in signing him.
writing in The Athletic, Ornstein has reported that Arsenal, Man Utd and Liverpool have expressed interest in signing Neto and could do so this summer.
The journalist further claims that Wolves do not want to let their star leave cheaply and want at least £80 million. So Man Utd, Arsenal or Liverpool will have to spend a lot of money to lure the striker away from the Molineux Stadium.

However, Ornstein states that together with those three clubs, Newcastle UnitedEdit and city of manchester Everyone is contemplating a raid for him. But everyone is worried about the attacker's physical condition.

My understanding is that it would also cost Wolves around £80m to part ways with Neto.”
Neto is a highly talented player and has the potential to become a top attacker in the future. However, the striker has struggled to stay fit for an entire season in recent times.
So while it could be a big coup for Arsenal, Liverpool or Man Utd to bolster their front line, if the 23-year-old can't overcome his injury problems then it would be a big risk to sign him spending the reported £. Rate of 80 million.
However, it will be interesting to see who will ultimately win the race to sign Neto if the Gunners, the Merseyside club and the Red Devils go head to head over this deal at the end of this campaign.
