reports that both Aston Villa and Wolves would be ready to cover his entire wages.
If Arthur is offered the chance to join Villa or Wolves this summer, he will surely struggle to look past Unai Emery’s men. The Villans will be back in Europe next year. And they have made rapid progress under Emery.
Having said that, after his year at Liverpool, Arthur will be particularly keen to play. And Wolves may be able to offer more assurances over game-time following the departures of the likes of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho.
