NEYMAR has gone on record naming the listing the four Premier League clubs he’d play for after being backed to join Arsenal.

The forward moved to Saudi League side Al-Hilal last year in a £77.4million deal which sees him paid £157m-a-season.

But his Saudi pay day hasn’t exactly gone to plan.

The forward suffered a horror ACL injury in October last year which ruled him out for the season and the Copa America with Brazil.

That’s seen the Brazilian play just five times for Al-Hilal.

Arsenal legend Gilberto Silva has said in light of Neymar‘s struggles in Saudi that it’s “not impossible” the forward could join Arsenal.

Speaking to Bet365, Gilberto Silva said: “I’d love to see Neymar in the Premier League with Arsenal, it would be interesting that’s for sure.

“It would bring a lot of joy to fans and make the competition even more special. When you look at the Premier League, we want to see the best players in the world and to have him around would be great.

“Let’s see. It’s not impossible that he could join Arsenal, why not.”

It comes after Neymar went on record and listed Arsenal as one of the clubs he would like to play for when he was still playing for Barcelona.

Speaking in 2017, the forward said: “The Premier League is a championship that amazes me.

“I like the playing style and the teams. And who knows? Someday, I would like to play [in] it, yes. I admire Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool – these are the teams that are always there fighting.”
