Alan Shearer, the Premier League All-Time goal scorer, praised Arsenal target Pedro Neto for his exceptional pace during a match against Manchester City.
Shearer highlighted Neto’s impressive performance on BBC’s Match of the Day, emphasizing his pace that left opponents astounded.
Neto is a 23-year-old player from Wolverhampton Wanderers linked to a potential move to Arsenal in January. Shearer’s admiration for Neto’s talent suggests he could be a valuable addition to Arsenal’s team, particularly due to their need for an additional winger.
The absence of certain players has pushed Arsenal to consider options like Gabriel Jesus on the left. Neto’s performance caught Shearer’s attention, showcasing his potential to bolster Arsenal’s squad. While Shearer acknowledged Kai Havertz’s quality, he felt Havertz needed further improvement to secure a regular spot in Arteta’s team.
Despite potential worries about escalating Neto’s price due to such praise, Arsenal’s recent 4-0 victory positions them well for upcoming challenges against Lens and Manchester City.
The return of key players like Martinelli and Trossard is anticipated, adding to the team’s depth. Overall, Neto is viewed as a player who could significantly enhance Arteta’s Arsenal squad.
