Arsenal would be planning a after strike for Wolves striker Pedro Neto as the Gunners try to get stronger in this area of the field before the transfer window closes at 23 on Thursday, September 1.
The decision has recently gained popularity, at least in the media, after the publication of an old video by Pedro Neto, in which it was claimed that Arsenal was his” favorite club” when he was growing up.
Competition for the sakas of Bukayo
While Nicolas Pepe seems to be leaving the club and Reiss Nelson has had no influence, Arsenal needs a player who can compete with Bukayo Saka for a position in Arsenal’s starting lineup–not only to improve the team, but also to allow Mikel Arteta to give Saka a well-deserved rest.
The 20-year-old has played 73 of Arsenal’s last 79 matches in the Premier League, each of which are the last 41. For such a young player, this is not an ideal situation.
Playing so many games at this stage of a career can lead to extreme mental and body fatigue, while increasing the risk of injury. Arsenal will be desperately trying to ensure that Nukayo Saka does not suffer the same fate as Jack Wilshere.
Arsenal’s transfer strategy
It’s no secret that Arsenal have gone from experienced players to younger, hungrier players in recent transfer windows – so much so that they actually had the youngest average age in the Premier League last season, averaging 24.84 years. Skysports.com .
This is a strategy that has worked very well for the club so far. They reached the top 4 last time and started very well this season. “The process” seems to be finally taking effect.
Perhaps there is an argument that the club is too keen on this strategy and that the lack of experienced players in the team could potentially affect their season
Price-performance ratio
For me, this is the only question mark about the possible success of this initiative.
According to David Ornstein, wolves do not want to sell Neto. and five years after his contract, they don’t need it either.
At this price, in my opinion, there is a risk that Neto will not be at the price level in 76 appearances in the Premier League, the striker scored only 9 goals and 10 assists; it is an average of one goal or one assist in all four matches.
Given the fact that he plays for a club that has been defensively oriented most of the time in the league, these figures are more impressive than they seem, but by no means extraordinary.
Of course, he would see a lot more ball at Arsenal and play for a team that is likely to dominate a lot of games this season.
In my opinion, a goal or an assist in all three of Neto’s games would be a good comeback for the season, especially since it would be his first season – and I think he is more than capable of it.
On top of that, it will probably continue to grow at Arsenal due to his age, and I think this deal represents a good ROI.
