It's been a tough few days for Neto as he recently lost his position as Bournemouth's number one goalkeeper to Kepa Arrizabalaga. But things might be looking up for the Brazilian star as Arsenal is reportedly in advanced talks to bring him in on loan as a replacement for Aaron Ramsdale.
The Gunners are on the hunt for a new number two goalkeeper to support their main man, David Raya, after agreeing to sell Ramsdale to Southampton for a whopping £25 million. While they were initially eyeing Espanyol's Joan Garcia, it seems they have hit a roadblock in negotiations. As a result, Neto has emerged as a potential alternative for a quick fix, according to reports from The Athletic.
Bournemouth recently signed Kepa on loan from Chelsea, making him their new number one choice and pushing Neto down the pecking order. With talented Irishman Mark Travers also in the mix, it's likely that Neto will be allowed to leave the club.
The 35-year-old goalkeeper was signed by Bournemouth from Barcelona in 2022, but it looks like he may now be heading to north London. The move is expected to move quickly, with Arsenal eager to secure a replacement before allowing Ramsdale to leave.
As the summer transfer window draws to a close, all eyes are on Arsenal to see who else they might sign before the 11pm deadline on Friday. The club has already made some impressive signings, including Italy's Riccardo Calafiori, David Raya from Brentford, and Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad for a reported fee of £32 million.
However, there are still some gaps in the squad, particularly in the final third. Doubts have been raised about Kai Havertz's ability to lead the line for a title-winning team, and Bukayo Saka could use some support on the right flank. It remains to be seen if Arsenal will make any more signings in these positions, but it will likely depend on any outgoing transfers.
One player who has been linked to Arsenal as a possible target is Ivan Toney. With Gabriel Jesus' recent injury setback, there has been speculation that the Gunners might be in the market for a new striker. After their first Premier League win over Wolves, manager Mikel Arteta had stated that the club would not be signing a new frontman this summer. However, his stance may have changed following Jesus' injury.
It's been a busy transfer window for Arsenal, and it looks like it might get even busier as the deadline approaches. Fans are eagerly waiting to see who else the club might bring in before the window closes, and with the possibility of more surprises, it's sure to be an exciting end to the summer transfer season.
