There is no doubt that David Raya remains Arsenal’s No.1 under Mikel Arteta, but the Gunners are still looking for a worthy back-up for the Spanish custodian.
This does not mean that Neto is not good enough to cover his contemporary, however, it is known that His tenure at the Emirates Stadium is only expected to be temporary.
When Raya got injured early in the season, that was it Jack Porter, 16, who scored a Carabao Cup winso the production line in the red and white half of north London is clearly still churning out talent, although Porter’s time will clearly be further down the line.

Meanwhile, the Gunners look a little further afield and look towards Villa Park.
Unai Emery’s side are flying at the moment, so it’s no surprise that other clubs are interested in some of their players.
A win against Bologna on Tuesday night sent the Villains top of the Champions League table, and a strong start to the Premier League this season sees them fourth, just four points behind leaders Liverpool.
Highly-rated Oliwier Zych is yet to make a senior appearance for Villa (transfer market), but that hasn’t stopped Arsenal and Brighton from going full circle.
according to The Telegraph (subscription required), the youngster has less than a year left on his current contract and will therefore be able to negotiate with other clubs from January.
With Neto expected to return to Bournemouth at the end of the season, a move for Zych would make sense for the present and the future, although there is a strong chance that Villa will look to tie down their man before any other club have the opportunity to achieve it. its claws inside.
For the Villains to succeed in doing so, Emery and Monchi will need to convince the U21 star that he has a genuine pathway to the first team.
