Arsenal transfer news: Neymar has been urged to join Arsenal over other clubs in the summer transfer window
It comes ahead of a huge summer for the Gunners themselves, who have a task on their hands to try and close the gap to Manchester City when it comes to the quality and depth of their squad. They've already managed just that this season, but Mikel Arteta has admitted to another huge window ahead.
He told casinosite.nl: "The last few weeks at PSG have been very strange for Neymar. Seeing people go to his house; I don’t agree with this, fans are not allowed to go to a player’s house to protest. This can turn into a nightmare because it is dangerous and it is not nice. I hope it does not happen again with him or any other player.
"Everyone knows the quality of Neymar, I don’t need to speak about his quality. I love the way he plays and I would love to see him at Arsenal instead of Newcastle because I love the boy as a player, but he also has a lot to contribute to football. He’s suffered some injury problems which have made life hard for him, but he has so much more to offer any football club.
"How would he fit in? Well, this would be a great task for Mikel! We have to wait and see, I don’t want to talk about a player who is still contracted to PSG."
