“This guy,” pointing towards Neymar, “He’s coming to England. He’s coming, and he’s going to play for Arsenal.”Warren went further, adding, “When are you coming to Arsenal? We need you!” Although Neymar didn’t give a verbal response, his smile indicated some amusement at the suggestion.
Neymar’s time in Saudi ArabiaNeymar’s current contract with Al-Hilal runs until 2025, but his name has always attracted attention from Europe’s elite clubs.
His long absence from action due to a knee ligament injury has kept him off the pitch, though he has now returned to training and is gearing up for a comeback, beIN Sports reports.
Despite his absence, Al-Hilal has thrived, sitting atop the Saudi Pro League, three points clear of rivals Al-Ittihad, with Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr in third.
Neymar’s potential return could bolster his side’s efforts to maintain their top position, but the prospect of a move to Arsenal adds an interesting twist to his next steps.
