Al-Hilal waiting on Arsenal, Newcastle over Neves plans

Ruben Neves is set to stick with Al-Hilal through January.

The former Wolves midfielder is a loan target for Newcastle United and Arsenal.

But The Athletic says Neves is expected to stay at Al-Hilal all season.

The Saudi club has not yet been contacted by rival clubs and they are counting on him.

The 26-year-old has scored two goals and provided an assist in 17 competitive games since moving to the Saudi Pro League.
