Arsenal are currently working with Neymar’s agent Andre Cury along with other famous representatives. According to the Daily Mirror, Gunners technical director Edu and head of football Raul Sanllehi have formed a close relationship with Cury and two other well-known super agents.

Neymar’s representative has formed a regular trio with Kia Joorabchian and Arturo Canales that tends to be involved in various deals that take place at the Emirates.
Canales represented Unai Emery when he took over the Gunners in 2018 and was also involved in Bernd Leno’s arrival from Bayer Leverkusen the same year.
He also represents new signing Pablo Mari, who has joined on loan from Flameno until the end of the season.
This marks a major shift in Arsenal’s transfer philosophy as legendary manager Arsene Wenger insisted throughout his 22-year stint at the helm that the club had no interest in dealing with super agents.

Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in a world record £200million in 2017 and has since scored 66 goals in 75 appearances at the Parc des Princes.
Arsenal haven’t been very active in the January transfer window after spending big last summer and have so far brought Eddie Nketiah back from loan at Leeds and also borrowed Mari.
Emirates boss Mikel Arteta has repeatedly insisted that he was only looking for players that can immediately add value to the team but hasn’t been expecting any major additions.
Arteta said: “The club is working on a few things but you know how difficult this window is and I'm not expecting many things."
