Arsenal to move for Chelsea winger in January

Arsenal are expected to make an approach for Chelsea winger Pedro Neto when the transfer window reopens at the turn of the year, according to Caught Offside.

The Gunners brought in just one new winger in Christos Tzolis over the summer. The Greek has already impressed with a couple of assists in the bag.

Still, he remains relatively inexperienced at the highest level, and there has been criticism over the club's lack of spending in the forward department.

Arsenal were expected to land a marquee left winger to compensate for the sales of Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli, but failed to do so.

It is now claimed that the Gunners could pursue a new wide attacking solution in the New Year, and Neto is one of the top names on their wishlist.

The Portuguese has impressed as a wing-back under new Blues boss Xabi Alonso, but could still be sold for around £69m in the next transfer window.
