al could sign £60m player instead of Ivan Toney
Arsenal have been linked with a new striker for a long time now.
For weeks and weeks we’ve been hearing about how Arsenal want a new centre-forward, namely Ivan Toney.
However, as we all know, the transfer window works in mysterious ways, and Arsenal may now be pivoting away from the idea of signing a striker.
According to Dean Jones, speaking on the Chasing Green Arrows Podcast, Arsenal may actually sign a different type of attacker rather than a centre-forward, claiming that Pedro Neto is someone they could instead opt to go for.

Arsenal could sign Neto instead of a striker
Jones shared what he knows about Arsenal’s plans and their interest in the £60m man.
“The message out of Arsenal right now is that they can’t afford a striker, but in a weird plot twist, someone told me the other day that they might sign a different type of forward instead of a striker, Pedro Neto at Wolves is someone they really like, I don’t think they will get him out of Wolves right now, but there is this temptation to go for a player like that,” Jones said.
Not what Arsenal need
As much as Neto is a fantastic player, we can’t bring ourselves to agree with this transfer strategy.

Arsenal’s problem is putting the ball in the back of the net, and, with all due respect, Neto isn’t going to fix that issue.
Neto would be a fantastic addition to this squad in terms of dynamism, creativity and depth, but, Arsenal need a finisher right now, and Neto isn’t that player.
In an ideal world, Arsenal would have the money to sign Neto and then someone like Toney, but when cash is tight, the Gunners will likely have to prioritise one or the other.
In our view, a striker should still be Arsenal’s priority this month.
