Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 24-year-old Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto this summer.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Tottenham Hotspur have an advantage over Newcastle United in the race to sign Portuguese international Pedro Neto from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window.
The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from the West Midlands club, and he would prefer a move to Tottenham, who can offer him UEFA Europa League football. Newcastle missed out on European qualification. So, the Portuguese international is not keen on joining them this summer. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham can get the deal done.
The Portuguese international has established himself as a key player for Wolves in the Premier League, and he has the quality to succeed at total him as well. A move to the North London club will be a major step up in his career, and he will get to compete for trophies with them. Spurs have put together an exciting squad and they have brought in a quality manager.
Tottenham nearly secured UEFA Champions League qualification last season, and they will be hoping to push for domestic trophies and finish in the top four in the upcoming season. Signing a quality attacker should be a top priority for them, and the 24-year-old will add goals and creativity to the side.
Apart from that, the Portuguese international is an exceptional dribbler who can help Tottenham break down deep defences. His ability to operate on either flank will be an added bonus. The winger is reportedly valued at £60 million, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham are willing to spend that kind of money on him.
They will have to be diligent with their business this summer. Tottenham Hotspur must improve multiple areas of their squad, and spending £60 million on Pedro Neto might not be a wise decision.
Newcastle United keen as well
Newcastle need to bring in attacking reinforcement as well and have set their sights on Pedro Neto. Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon were quite impressive last season. Signing another backup striker and a quality winger should be a top priority for them. Neto could improve them immensely, and he will help create more goalscoring opportunities for players like Isak.
