Arsenal are reportedly interested in Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga, who is available for around £5 million this summer, according to Luca Bendoni.
The Gunners took Neto on loan from AFC Bournemouth to provide cover for first-choice shot-stopper David Raya. Arrizabalaga spent the campaign with the Cherries.
Arrizabalaga showed signs of improvement but still looked susceptible to long-range shots and had his shaky moments.
However, he will likely not see much game time with Raya as a mainstay between the sticks.
Bournemouth looked set to pull the trigger and sign the Spain international, but their interest has cooled, allowing Arsenal to enter the frame.
Arrizabalaga could be a cheap addition with Premier League experience to bolster the numbers.
The world’s most expensive goalkeeper did not live up to the billing at Stamford Bridge but could play a crucial role in cup competitions for the North Londoners.
Arsenal briefly showed interest in Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia.
However, he has opted to join Barcelona, where he will compete with former Arsenal star Wojciech Szczesny and stalwart Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
This potential Arrizabalaga signing allows Arsenal more funds to improve their attack, which is crying out for reinforcement.
The Gunners need a new left-winger and striker. They need to cough up big numbers to sign marquee names.
Real Madrid ace Rodrygo is reportedly a top target, and the Brazilian is the type of player the Gunners should be in the transfer market for.
Rodrygo, on the left wing, gives Arsenal a new dimension in attack that they need. So would a lethal striker.

The Gunners are pushing for RB Leipzig ace Benjamin Sesko, but questions remain about whether the young striker can spearhead the club to an elusive 14th top-flight league title.
Also, the club desperately needs a capable back-up for talisman Bukayo Saka.
Potential free agent Leroy Sane would be perfect, but he would most likely want more playing time, and his salary is hefty.
