Ahead Of Manchester United Arsenal In Talks To Sign £35m Ajax Winger David Neres

according to reports, the 22-year-old has been in sublime form for the Dutch club this season with 12 goals and 15 assists so far, Arsenal are in talks to sign Ajax winger David Neres but face competition from Manchester United, while his latest strike came in the 1-1 draw against Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Neres was also rewarded for his fine performances with his first Brazil cap last month and he provided two assists in a 3-1 victory over Czech Republic. The Brazilian has attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, but according to The Daily Telegraph, Arsenal have begun negotiations with Ajax over a potential deal. United are also interested but have not yet held talks, while Everton have held initial discussions with Ajax, who are understood to want at least £35 million for Neres.

Chelsea is keeping tabs on Neres’ progress in the Eredivisie but any move depends on whether they can delay or overturn their transfer ban. Both United and Arsenal are in the market to strengthen the ride side of their attack and Neres typically plays on that side, although he is capable of operating on the opposite flank. Unai Emery, however, is reportedly working with a restricted transfer budget in the summer, although that could be boosted if he secures Champions League football for the Gunners.
