According to SPORT, Neto’s agent is currently dealing with interest from Everton and Arsenal, while Villarreal are also keen on the shot-stopper.

What’s the story?

Well, it seems like the 32-year-old will be leaving Barcelona.

The Brazilian wants more game time, and is fed up of being stuck behind Marc-André ter Stegen at the Camp Nou.

Barcelona want over €15m (£12.8m) for the South American, a sum that SPORT believe Villarreal have no intention of paying.

Without a doubt, that is a boost for Everton and Arsenal.

Given the riches that come with the Premier League, it is surely now a two-horse race between the Toffees and the Gunners, in our view.

However, Everton have a bit more work to do.

In news that will disappoint Rafa Benitez, the former Valencia glovesman is keen on a move to Arsenal.

In that respect, the Toffees have a bit of work to do to convince the 1-cap Brazil international that he should move to Goodison Park.

In our view, it’s not worth the hassle.

Jordan Pickford is coming into the 2021/22 campaign off the back of an outstanding EURO 2020 campaign, in which he won the Golden Glove.

As a result, it simply isn’t worth wasting time trying to convince Neto to join, nor is it worth parting with the cash to sign him.

Arsenal, he’s all yours.
