Not long before this interview, he made a visit to the office of sporting director Matt Hobbs and informed him that he would not push for a move in January.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers of the Portuguese forward, but Neto wants to put a stop to the noise.

Imagine that…almost as if Neto leaving in January was never gonna happen 🙄. Generally players don’t sign a 4 year extension to push for a move 6 months later, especially when offers came in for him in the summer. Hobbs himself said a few weeks ago Neto’s been in to see him and is very happy so I’m surprised it’s taken this long for the media to stop writing him off to another club. That’s the problem when you have ex-players as pundits who played for the likes of Liverpool/Arsenal/United in their glory years, they see a player doing well in the PL and automatically “my club has to sign him so he can help us win trophies.” Same happened with Kane, Neves, Rice, Caicedo, Zaha, Cucurella etc. Every player will move on at some point, just can’t see Neto moving on any time soon
