According to a recent report by The Sun, Premier League giants Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Everton are all keen on signing Ajax Amsterdam’s Brazilian right-wing prodigy David Neres.
David Neres is a 22-year-old Brazilian right-winger who currently plies his trade for Ajax Amsterdam in the Dutch Eredivisie. The youngster has grown into a pretty big part of the Ajax squad and his talents and exploits for the club from the Dutch capital certainly haven’t gone unnoticed.
A product of the world renowned São Paulo academy, the winger was signed up by Ajax in the winter window of 2017 and since joining the Dutch side, his rise to the supreme levels of Europe has been accelerated by the fact that he is capable of some amazing football at times.
Capable of playing on either flank or even across the middle, the Brazilian often displays a certain unpredictability about himself which ensures that when he runs at a defender, they’re filling to the brim with the fear of getting embarrassed.
Unbelievably tricky and skilful on the ball, Neres is also an excellent finisher and would certainly be a huge boost to any top European side. He shows amazing dribbling ability and touch on the ball while he certainly isn’t a slouch either.
This season, Neres has really come to the fore for Ajax who have managed to knock out Juventus and Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League. He has scored some crucial goals for the club along various situations and his figures read 8 goals and 11 assists from 27 Eredivisie appearances.
Here are the 4 clubs who are said to be keen on signing David Neres:
The Gunners must acquire the services of a top-quality winger in the summer if they hope to compete at the highest level in the coming season. While all the sides around have adapted, Arsenal are still stuck with only Alex Iwobi as an option on the flank and the addition of David Neres could be the perfect platform to free up Pierre Emerick Aubameyang‘ role in the side.
Manchester United’s season has been one that Red Devils fans can be proud of as they have literally come back from the dead to regain their former glory. Although the football isn’t quite what is used to be, there is a huge improvement from Jose Mourinho’s style. The addition of David Neres would bolster a fairly average United front-line and add something new to their attacking play.
The Toffees must be willing to go all out in the summer in order to fix their squad. The team that Marco Silva has at his disposal is capable of great things. Richarlison’s pace and prowess have improved them massively and the acquisition of another young Brazilian to partner him up-front will be positive news for Everton fans will be starting to frow frustrated with Theo Walcott’s inconsistency.

The Blues are the side that are most in need a new winger at this point in time given the Eden Hazard situation. Also, the fact that Pedro and Willian are both over 30 certainly won’t fill Maurizio Sarri with too much confidence either. Neres has the right skill-set to slot in and do a job at Stamford Bridge but whether he has he mental strength to succeed in England, remains to be seen.
