The publication further claimed the north London dwellers are confident of sealing a swoop for the midfielder for around £34million.

Neves is understood to be aware of Arsenal's interest in him and has reportedly informed his teammates of his willingness to complete a switch to the Emirates.

The Sun, meanwhile, claim Wolves will not stand in the way of Neves should he push for an exit and are even ready to listen to offers for the Portuguese.
