While for Tottenham, alongside Nico there also have been links to Wolves star Neto and Barcelona’s Raphinha while Ange has a decision to make over making Timo Werner’s loan move a permanent one. Spurs, by the looks of it, are looking for a pacey winger who can have clutch moments while being smart with their movements in behind the defensive line.
