Arsenal Signs Brazilian Goalkeeper Neto on Loan

Arsenal surprised everyone on the final day of the English transfer window by securing the services of Brazilian goalkeeper Neto from Bournemouth. The 35-year-old former Athletico-PR player joins the Gunners on loan until the end of the 2024-25 season, with no option to buy. The move comes after the departures of Aaron Ramsdale, who was sold to Southampton, and Karl Hein, who was loaned out to Valladolid. Arsenal’s decision to bring in a new goalkeeper was driven by these departures, leaving them short-handed in the position. Neto, who was a regular starter for Bournemouth, will provide much-needed experience and stability to the Arsenal goalkeeping department.
