Tottenham Hotspur has thrown their hat into the ring alongside Arsenal in the pursuit of Wolves’ talented winger, Pedro Neto, recent reports suggest. The 23-year-old has shone brightly for Wolves this season, showcasing his prowess with two goals and nine assists, despite enduring a setback due to a hamstring injury that sidelined him for nine matches.
For Arsenal, Neto has long been on their radar, with manager Mikel Arteta eyeing the Portuguese winger as a potential source of competition for Bukayo Saka. However, Tottenham’s interest in Neto has added a new dimension to the transfer saga, with reports from The Independent indicating that the Spurs have marked Neto as one of their primary targets for the upcoming transfer window.
Although Arsenal has been in pursuit of Neto for some time, Tottenham’s entry into the fray signifies increased competition for the winger’s signature. Moreover, Tottenham’s shortlist also includes Crystal Palace’s Eberechi Eze, although the 25-year-old midfielder is garnering significant attention from Manchester City.
Wolves, however, are not willing to part with Neto easily, as reports suggest that the club is holding out for a substantial £80 million fee for the talented winger. Neto’s contract with Wolves extends until 2027, adding to the club’s leverage in negotiations.
Wolves manager, Gary O’Neil, has expressed his desire to retain Neto at the club, highlighting the winger’s exceptional qualities and the need for continual improvement. O’Neil emphasized Neto’s athleticism, pace, and quality on the ball, while acknowledging areas where the player can enhance his contributions, particularly in defensive duties and tactical understanding.
As the transfer window approaches, the race for Pedro Neto’s services intensifies, with both Arsenal and Tottenham vying for the opportunity to secure the talented winger. With Wolves standing firm on their valuation and Neto’s future hanging in the balance, the coming months promise to be intriguing as the saga unfolds in the ever-dynamic world of football transfers.
