Arsenal are now one of the clubs considering the signing of Wolverhampton Wanderers’ attacking midfielder Matheus Mane.
The 18-year-old has burst onto the scene in the Premier League this season and has played a key role in Wolves’ recent upturn in form.
🤔 Would you like to see Arsenal sign Mateus Mane this summer?
The youngster is drawing much attention from several Premier League clubs and he could be on the move should Wolves be relegated.
Andrea Berta is looking to reinforce the Gunners’ attack in the summer, and Mane could be among the names he considers.
Arsenal considering move for Matheus Mane
Arsenal are considering a move for Wolves attacking midfielder Matheus Mane, but are not alone, according to TalkSPORT.
Manchester United and Newcastle United are also monitoring the teenager’s situation at Molineux in case they are relegated.
Meanwhile, Wolves are expected to put up a strong fight to keep hold of the attacker, with Rob Edwards keen to build around him.
The England youth international’s current deal runs until 2029 in the Midlands, but Wolves are keen to reward him with fresh terms.
Mane has two goals and two assists in 18 Premier League appearances, helping Wolves to avoid defeats in seven of their last 11 games.
The attacker is valued at £50 million, according to Football Insider, which could put Arsenal off, with Ethan Nwaneri a better prospect than the 18-year-old.

Paul Merson backs Matheus Mane to become a ‘superstar’
Former Gunner Paul Merson is backing Mane to become a ‘superstar’ in the future, and is a big fan of his work rate.
Speaking about the attacker, Merson told Sky Sports: “He is something for the fans, they need something to get them up.
“He is enthusiastic, he has scored a couple of goals, and he looks like he could be a superstar. He works hard. I like his attitude.
“There is a lot of pressure on him for a young kid. It is like, if Mane plays, we’ve got a chance, when really he should be coming in for a couple of games and then coming back out, because there is a lot of pressure on him playing for, and without being unkind, a poor football team.”
