Porto ‘symbol’ Ruben Neves to disappoint Arsenal and Chelsea

Ruben Neves is unlikely to be leaving FC Porto anytime soon.


The 18-year-old midfielder has attracted plenty of interest from the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea in recent times but it appears as though the two-time Portugal international is keen to remain at the Estadio do Dragao for the foreseeable future.

Porto president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa recently said that Neves can be the next Joao Pinto, who spent his entire career with the Dragons, and his words sat well with the promising holding midfielder.

"To hear the president say that he wants to make me a symbol of the club, it's fantastic. This made me feel very proud," Neves told the club's magazine Revista Dragoes.

"I am under contract until June 2019 and, at the moment, I am only thinking about the club achieving its goals."
