Wolves looking to make Pedro Neto a club-record sale

Spurs identify Pedro Neto as their prime target ahead of the summer window

Tottenham Hotspur have identified Pedro Neto as their priority option to sign this summer, according to Metro (h/t The Independent). The 23-year-old’s fine form has garnered attention from Arsenal and Tottenham.

The current season has been particularly outstanding for the Portuguese. He has amassed three goals and 11 assists from 20 games across all competitions for Wolves. Neto has achieved the feat despite missing 10 games due to a hamstring injury.

Mikel Arteta has been a long-time admirer of Pedro Neto. He wishes to lure the winger to the Emirates stadium to make things more competitive for Bukayo Saka. Considering Neto’s versatility, it could also mean Gabriel Martinelli could be at risk as well.

Wolves demanded £50 million for their starman last summer but the current price could be much more. The Metro speculates Pedro Neto’s price tag to be £80m. The race between the London clubs for the Wolves man should be the highlight of the summer window in the Premier League

Who needs him more?

Before we delve into who needs Pedro Neto’s service more than the other team, let us try and think from Neto’s perspective. Arsenal will be a clear pick for the player considering their chances of lifting the trophy being more than Spurs.

Getting to the heart of the matter, there is no dearth of firepower in Arsenal’s attacking unit. They have been scoring goals for fun this season. While Tottenham is doing their best to secure the fourth spot from Aston Villa, there is a lot to improve.

Ange Postecoglou could make the most of Pedro Neto’s ‘assisting abilities’ to support Richarlison up front. The Brazilian who has stepped up this season under the new gaffer can take it a notch higher with Neto and Son on his flanks.
