Tottenham & Arsenal battle to sign £60m star, player expected to leave this summer – report
Pedro Neto is expected to have played his final game for Wolves, thus Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will be in competition for his services, according to a report from Football London.
According to the report, Tottenham has joined their North London rivals in the competition to recruit the Portuguese winger this summer. Neto has been linked to Arsenal for a considerable amount of time.
After sustaining a hamstring injury that is anticipated to keep him out until the end of the season, Football London reports that there is a good likelihood that Neto has played his final game for the Wolves.
Neto was enjoying one of his greatest seasons in the top division prior to his injury. Neto has made 23 appearances for Wolves in all competitions, tallying 3 goals and 11 assists.
It might be finally time to switch sides in the summer after sticking with the English side since 2019. However, Wolves won’t make things simple for any of the interested teams, given their contract expires in 2027. It makes sense that they are requesting a transfer fee of about £60 million.
Postecoglou values versatile players
If there is one quality Ange Postecoglou has valued in his players since taking over as manager of N17, it is their adaptability. Pedro Neto is a Portuguese international who can play anywhere along the front line, so it is not surprising that there is interest in him.
Neto’s style of play differs from that of the majority of the attackers in Spurs’ roster. He is not an inside forward like Timo Werner, nor is he a genuine winger like Dejan Kulusevski. Rather, he is a unique combination of the two, which is what sets him apart.
Neto might prefer a move to Tottenham over teams like Arsenal since he has a far better chance of obtaining playing time there. It is quite impossible to replace players like Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka, as Leandro Trossard discovered during his tenure at the Emirates.
However, if Neto signs with Tottenham, Postecoglou may decide to utilize him anywhere along the front line, and he’ll get the chance to work on a really interesting project.
Pedro Neto now has the freedom to select the next team he wants to play for, thanks to his achievements. Regarding his development, the forthcoming summer will be critical. Let’s wait and see where the 24-year-old chooses to relocate during that time.
