Arsenal: Rising talent from Benfica, Joao Neves is drawing attention from many big European teams. To guarantee the 19-year-old’s services, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) allegedly is looking at a part-exchange agreement. This agreement might call on certain PSG players to satisfy Benfica’s expectations. Neves’s contract has a €120 million release clause, hence a straight move is difficult. He has enormous promise, but he hasn’t yet shown enough to support a price tag this high.

Neves is under observation by Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. Every team values the youthful midfielder as a great asset to their lineup. Arsenal needs a capable midfield controller, and Neves appears ideal. Declan Rice would benefit much from his ability to control the game from deep areas and provide defensive assistance.

Arsenal wants to challenge for the championship next season and depends on top players to increase their chances. Neves may greatly improve their middle ground power. Conversely, Liverpool has to close the void created by Thiago Alcantara’s absence. The Portuguese international has the technical and physical ability to replace Thiago and significantly influence things.

To strengthen their line-up, Manchester United also wants a center midfielder. For a team with high prize aspirations, Casemiro, Scott McTominay, and Sofyan Amrabat fell short last season. For United, Neves may be a long-term fix and maybe become a major competitor.

Although PSG seems to be winning the Neves race, it is uncertain if their part-exchange offer would please Benfica. English club rivalry gives the transfer story an intriguing turn. The interests of every team show Neves’ potential and influence on their particular teams.

Joao Neves is a hot commodity in the transfer market overall; PSG, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United all fight for his signature. Though his future is still unknown, he clearly has the ability to impact elite European football. The next several weeks will be pivotal in deciding where the fresh talent will carry on his career.

Arsenal first offers to recruit Tommy Setford, Ajax’s teenage goalkeeper. This might see the 18-year-old enrolled in the Gunners’ academy. Setford is keen for the change to Arsenal and has shown great performance in Ajax’s young squads.  The Gunners are seeking a third-choice goalie. If they sell Aaron Ramsdale, they could have to change their backup. Their first offer for ex- Arsenal youth player Wolves’ Dan Bentley was rebuffed down. Arsenal has changed their academy’s structure and created a distinct young recruiting budget. Among the few rising stars they are focusing on is Harrison Miles of Southampton.

Setford’s appeal to Arsenal fits this larger plan. Their eye has been drawn to Setford, a young England national international. Given his one year remaining on his Ajax deal, a move is almost inevitable. Arsenal’s offer is £350,000 plus incentives, said Dutch writer Mike Verweij. Should Ajax agree, Setford will join Arsenal’s academy, serving the Under-21 and Under-18 squads.
