The Londoners are also signed by the Portuguese.

London Arsenal are ready to move for Portuguese midfielder Ruben Neves Al-Hilal from Newcastle, reports the talkSPORT portal.

The Magpies considered the possibility of signing the 26-River Graf to compensate for the absence of suspended Italian Sandro Tonali.

However, it turns out that Premier League clubs may never vote to block transfers from clubs that belong to the same group of leaders (this includes those in which the Saudi Arabian Sovereign Investment Fund holds a 75% stake Al-Hilal and 80% shares of Newcastle).

Such changes can play to the advantage of Arsenal, who want to improve their line for the striker. Apparently, the sports director of the Londoners, Edu Gaspar, is a long-time playmate of Neves..

This season, the Portuguese took part in 17 matches of the Saudi Arabian Al-Hilal in all tournaments, scoring 2 goals and an assist. The transfermarkt portal estimates it at 40 million euros.
