The agent of Wolves midfielder Ruben Neves is in talks with Arsenal.

The Sun says Jorge Mendes is in contact with Arsenal technical director Edu over a move for Neves.

The Gunners are interested in the Portuguese midfielder as a potential new partner for Thomas Partey with Granit Xhaka linked to a switch to Roma this summer.

Neves' agent Mendes is in constant communication with Edu in an attempt to get a deal over the line as soon as possible.

However, the £35m price tag on Neves is still a stumbling block in the negotiations.
