Premier League side Arsenal are on the verge of completing a major goalkeeper deal, according to a new report from Sky Sports reporter Mark McAdam. Bournemouth's 35-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper Neto is set to join Arsenal on a purely loan basis, and the deal has been finalized. It's worth noting that Arsenal don't get any buyout rights for Neto in this deal, which means they will be evaluating Neto's performance during the loan period and considering their future transfer strategy.

Neto is expected to undergo a medical arranged by Arsenal on Friday local time to formalize the final step of the process before joining the club. As an experienced goalkeeper, Neto's joining will undoubtedly add a safeguard to Arsenal's goal, especially in the event of changes or injuries to the starting goalkeeper position.

Previously, Arsenal had expressed strong interest in Spaniards' young goalkeeper Joan Garcia and tried to sign him as the team's new generation of goalkeeper. However, the Spaniards insisted that Arsenal pay a release fee of up to 30 million euros, a high price that brought the negotiations to a standstill and ultimately led to Arsenal having to look for other options.

Neto's purely loan signing can be seen as a temporary solution for Arsenal in the goalkeeper position, while also leaving the team with the flexibility to adjust their lineup in the future. With the new season approaching, Arsenal are actively preparing for the season and aiming to achieve good results in all competitions. The addition of Neto will undoubtedly inject new energy into the team and bring more exciting moments to the fans.
