Arsenal Should Sign Neto After Vinicius Junior Snub – Jeremie Aliadiere

Former Gunners forward Jeremie Aliadiere has said that Arsenal should hijack Manchester City’s pursuit of Chelsea winger Pedro Neto following their failed attempt to sign Vinicius Junior. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

Suggesting that a £70m move for the Portugal international makes financial sense for Arsenal, Jeremie emphasised the necessity of maintaining financial equilibrium after heavy expenditure in recent transfer windows.

Aliadiere added that it will make no sense to spend 150 million on a new winger after getting rejected by Vinicius Junior.

His words, “I just think: Yes, we’re champions, yes, we’ve made a lot of money. But at some point, you’ve got to balance the books as well.

When you think about the money that Arsenal already spent after [Bruno] Guimaraes’ arrival, what we’ve spent last year, plus we’ve only had Trossard leaving for money.

Only the club will know financially where they are, but will they be able to go and spend 150 million on a new winger, or is it maybe financially more reasonable to go for a lower option?

Pedro Neto could be a great option. He’s played in the Premier League for many years, is established, knows the league, a very, very good player.

And don’t forget, we’ve already signed a left winger with Christos Tzolis. He’s a left winger, so you’re just adding top talent.

We’ve spent 40million. You can’t just spend 40 million and then just stick him on the bench and never play him. So I think you’ve got to keep every option open and see what is best financially for the club.”
