The 30-year-old spent last season on loan at Bournemouth, keeping nine clean sheets in 35 games for the south-coast club.

Arsenal are interested in signing goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga as they look to bolster their options in the position. Neto, who was on loan this season at the Emirates from Bournemouth, has returned to the Cherries, and the Gunners are now without an experienced back-up for David Raya.

The 30-year-old would cost Arsenal £5 million ($6.7m) with sources adding that although a deal is not finalised talks are progressing positively. Arsenal had wanted to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García but the 24-year-old now looks likely to remain in LaLiga with Barcelona.
