A former Arsenal star says he would love to see Paris Saint-Germain star Neymar join the Gunners next season.
The Brazilian forward still has two years remaining on his current deal with PSG, but has been linked with a big-money move to Premier League side Newcastle United.
Neymar has faced some heavy criticism over the past few weeks, while PSG supporters also went to the player's house to protest recently.

Former Brazil and Gunners star Gilberto Silva feels Neymar still has a lot to contribute to football despite the injury troubles.
"The last few weeks at PSG have been very strange for Neymar. Seeing people go to his house; I don't agree with this, fans are not allowed to go to a player's house to protest," Silva said, a per Daily Mail.
"This can turn into a nightmare because it is dangerous and it is not nice. I hope it does not happen again with him or any other player.
"Everyone knows the quality of Neymar, I don't need to speak about his quality.
"I love the way he plays and I would love to see him at Arsenal instead of Newcastle because I love the boy as a player, but he also has a lot to contribute to football. He's suffered some injury problems which have made life hard for him.
"But he has so much more to offer any football club... How would he fit in? Well, this would be a great task for Mikel [Arteta! We have to wait and see, I don't want to talk about a player who is still contracted to PSG."
