Ruben Neves, a midfielder from Portugal, joined Al-Hilal from Wolverhampton Wanderers. According to speculations, Neves may leave the cash-rich Asian league to return to Europe.
Ruben Neves is anticipated to return to the Premier League, with Newcastle United considered the frontrunner to buy the midfielder when the market opens. With Sandro Tonali serving a 10-month suspension, they are determined to get Neves to St James Park as quickly as possible.
However, Arsenal gaffer Mikel Arteta is also a fan of the Portuguese and is pressuring his club authorities to enter the race to sign him, a report said.
According to reports, Arsenal and Thomas Partey are likely to part ways in the upcoming transfer window and for Arteta, Neves is the best player to replace the Ghanese international.
The 26-year-old Neves had one year left in his contract with Wolves when Al-Hilal signed him for a reportedly €55m deal. He remains a critical part of the team that remain comfortably on top of the Saudi Pro League table — four points ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr
