Arsenal are still holding onto hope of signing Barcelona keeper Neto in the January transfer window.

The Gunners want to add an experienced deputy for German Bernd Leno.

Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman stated this week that Neto had asked to leave, but the club were not prepared to oblige.

However, Mundo Deportivo claims Arsenal are still engaged in talks in an attempt to sign him.

The issue is the transfer fee, as Barca want a decent fee to compensate for losing Neto midway through the season.
