Arsenal's interest in Wolves star Pedro Neto has already been endorsed by Thierry Henry.
According to The Athletic, the Gunners are interested in bringing Neto to the Emirates Stadium before the summer transfer window slams shut next month. However, it could be an expensive deal to sign the 22-year-old, with Bruno Lage's side keen to keep a hold of the Portuguese attacker, who signed a new long-term contract at Molineux earlier this year.
Neto has established himself as one of the most exciting young wingers in the Premier League over the last few years, earning plenty of praise from Arsenal's all-time leading goalscorer Henry. “I like him a lot,” the Frenchman told Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football last year.

“Especially the situation that he found himself in with [Raul] Jimenez being injured and Diogo Jota now playing for the other side tonight. It’s not easy to have everything on your shoulders.
"What I like is he’s not scared to beat people on the outside. I like it, he can cross with his right, finish with his left. He’s always looking to have a go and attack the defender – always on the front foot.
"It’s not easy to do this at such a young age, in a team where you’re not often in possession and dominating games. I think he’s performed extremely well.”
It remains to be seen whether or not the Gunners will actually be able to sign Neto this summer and recent reports have suggested that it could cost them up to £50 million to get a deal over the line.
