Neves bid
Arsenal target Joao Neves could leave for less than his reported £100million plus release clause.
Benfica president Rui Costa reportedly told Portuguese outlet A Bola: “I never said that Joao Neves would only leave for his release clause and therefore, those claims are false. What I can say in relation to Joao Neves is that there is an offer on the table.
“That has been in the news in the last days but I’m not going to say where this proposal stands. There is a proposal on the table which is being evaluated and is being discussed. But at this moment, Joao Neves remains a Benfica player.
“It’s not that I want to hide the ins and outs because I understand that Benfica fans want to know whether Joao will be leaving or not. But at this moment, there are ongoing negotiations, so please allow me to be reserved about this subject so we can take care of what will be best outcome for Benfica…”
Tomiyasu blow
TAKEHIRO TOMIYASU will miss Arsenal’s pre-season tour of the USA with a knee problem.
The Gunners have confirmed the Japanese international is set to remain in London.
Tomiyasu will receive treatment on the injury whilst his team-mates head Stateside.
Meanwhile, Kieran Tierney also misses out due to a hamstring injury after returning from his loan spell at Real Sociedad.
Fans have been left fuming with the news, though, even calling for Tomiyasu to be sold.
