Arsenal are in the market for a new goalkeeper at the end of this transfer window.

Aaron Ramsdale is set to join Southampton, ♊and the Gunners need to get a replacement through the door𝓡.

A number of goꦅalkeepers have been linked to Arse🥃nal this summer.

Dan Bentley is someone Arsenal were keen on, but Joan Garcia has been Arsenal’s main target.

Howev🍃er, Arsenal are running into some complications with the Garcia deal, and now, they could be bringing a different player in.

Arsenal will sign Neto if they can’t get Joan Garcia

Arsenal have bee🥂n linked with Bournemouth’s Neto over the past 💜few hours.

This deal appears to be picking up pace, and according to Fabrizio Romano, a loan ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚdeal has🍸 now been verbally agreed.

Neto will join Arsenal on loan with no obligation to buy, and Arsenal wil▨l play the Brazꦐilian’s full salary – which is said to be .

This deal is agreed, but 𒀰it isn’t fully done as of yet.

Indeed, according to Romano, Arsenal will only proceed with this deal if their ☂move for Garc⭕ia completely collapsed.

Neto a better option than Garcia

There’s an argument to make that Neto is a bett💧er option than Joan Garcia.

Not only is Neto much cheaper, he’s much more ex⭕perienced, especially in a backup role.

The role of a backup goalkeeper is very unique, and Neto has plenty of experience in playing this role without kicking up much fusꦅs.

Neto has previously been the backu✃p at both Juventus an𝓡d Barcelona, and he could be just what the doctor ordered as Arsenal look for a David Raya deputy.

Of course, at the age of 🍃35, Neto isn’t exactly a long-term solution for Arsenal, but as a stopgap for this season, he’s not a bad option.

Who knows? Perhaps if Arsenal save £25m on not signing Garcia, those funds can be used elsewhere to make 🌳a more exciting signing.
