In the upcoming January transfer window, Arsenal and Liverpool are poised for a heated battle over Wolves star, Pedro Neto.
Both clubs are eyeing the Portuguese forward, but the Reds may have the upper hand in this race as they seek a successor to their talismanic figure, Mohamed Salah.
Neto has been lighting up the Premier League this season, catching the attention of major clubs. Arsenal and Liverpool are at the forefront of the chase. Arsenal’s interest in Neto rekindled due to concerns about overplaying Bukayo Saka, who recently missed a crucial match against Manchester City due to injury.
Neto’s versatility and ability to fill various positions make him a valuable asset. For Liverpool, Neto could be the answer if they face the departure of Mohamed Salah, which they resisted during the summer transfer window.

vs Aston Villa 🅰️No G/A against City, but he literally did 90% of the job in the own goal scored by Rúben Dias. Fantastic form, fantastic player. 🐺🇵🇹 pic.twitter.com/ZnVM7a7VG7

Liverpool boasts an array of attacking talent, but none specialise as right-wingers. If Salah were to leave, Neto could be their prime target. This situation presents a dilemma for Arsenal, as Liverpool’s need for Neto may surpass their own. Liverpool could see Neto as a direct Salah replacement, while Arsenal may consider him as a rotation option for Saka.
Neto’s personal preference might also lean towards Liverpool, especially if Jurgen Klopp offers him a more substantial role in the team. As the January transfer window approaches, a bidding war may unfold between the two English giants for the 23-year-old.
With Neto’s standout performances, his journey to a Champions League club seems inevitable, whether it’s Liverpool, Arsenal, or another top-tier team.
