Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto.
The 24-year-old has been a key player for Wolves and his performances have been rather impressive this past season. Tottenham are one of the clubs keen on securing his signature and they will face competition from Newcastle United.
According to Give Me Sport, the winger is unlikely to be a cheap acquisition this summer and his agent Jorge Mendes is looking to create a tug-of-war between clubs for his client. Wolves will also hope for an auction so that they can recoup as much as possible for the Portuguese international.
The report further states that Neto would prefer to join Tottenham because they can offer him European football next season. Newcastle missed out on European qualification and the 24-year-old winger is not keen on joining them this summer. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
Tottenham will be hoping to agree on a reasonable deal for him this summer. They need to add more cutting edge in the wide areas, and the 24-year-old will add pace, flair and creativity from the flanks.
He’s going to get better with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a key player for Tottenham. They will be hoping to push for trophies next season and a signing like Neto will certainly help them improve immensely.
The development will come as a major blow for Newcastle, who are looking to improve their attacking unit as well. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move onto other targets now.
