TBR Football reveals Arsenal’s interest in midfielder Joao Neves, who is considered to run even more than Declan Rice.

Arsenal is rumored to want to bolster their midfield area next season. It wouldn’t be surprising if they bring in another midfielder to pair with Declan Rice.

Arsenal have increased their interest in Neves over the past six weeks.

TBR Football reveals Arsenal is considering the option of recruiting Joao Neves, and they have intensified their monitoring of the Portuguese player over the past six weeks. Of course, Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad remains Mikel Arteta’s top choice, but there’s a high likelihood Zubimendi won’t leave Spain next season.

Meanwhile, the name Joao Neves has attracted the attention of many big clubs. Manchester United recently confirmed their interest in the Benfica midfielder.

According to UEFA statistics, Neves covers more ground than Rice, making him an attractive prospect for Arsenal. Therefore, if successfully combined, these two players would form a very promising midfield duo next season.

As for Manchester United, they will also make efforts to secure a new signing in midfield, especially as Casemiro is likely to leave Old Trafford after a disappointing spell.
