Tottenham Hotspur are set to battle Arsenal for Wolves winger Pedro Neto
Tottenham Hotspur are gearing up for a summer transfer showdown as they set their sights on Wolves winger Pedro Neto and joining Spurs in the pursuit, their city rivals Arsenal are also keen on securing the 24-year-old’s signature.
Neto, the Portuguese winger, is anticipated to come with a hefty price tag set by Wolves, potentially breaking the club’s record. Fabrizio Romano, a trusted source in transfer news, suggests that Wolverhampton Wanderers will soon unveil their valuation for Pedro Neto.
Arsenal has been in the mix for the Viana do Castelo-born winger for quite some time, positioning themselves as frontrunners should he seek a move away from Molineux Stadium in the summer. However, Fabrizio Romano suggests that Spurs could throw a wrench into Arsenal’s plans.
Despite grappling with injuries throughout the campaign, Neto has been a standout performer for Wolves this season. Under Gary O’Neil’s management, he has showcased exceptional skills, often causing headaches for opposing defenders.
Wolves are likely aiming to initiate a bidding war for Neto, with expectations of securing a fee of at least £60 million for the talented winger. Given that he has still managed 14 G/A this season, despite his injuries, Neto’s abilities are clear for all to see.
Discussing Neto’s future away from Wolves and the clubs that are vying for a move for the 24-year-old,as Fabrizio Romano reveals in his Daily Briefing on Caught Offside.
“Arsenal have some wingers in their sights for the summer, but while it’s normal to see a long list of names linked with clubs in this situation, who’s really emerging as the main options on Arsenal’s list?
“Pedro Neto is a player Arsenal like and have looked at before, but we have to wait for Wolves to decide the initial price tag to understand what Arsenal, Tottenham, and more clubs will decide to do.”
Tottenham’s pursuit of wingers has been evident in recent weeks, with Ange likely eyeing a speedy winger capable of dribbling into space and causing defensive issues. Pedro Neto appears to fit the bill perfectly for the club’s requirements.

However, Spurs must exercise caution to avoid being drawn into a bidding war for Neto, considering his history of injury concerns. While his talent is undeniable, his availability must be a key factor in Tottenham’s decision-making process.
It’s crucial for Tottenham to prioritize signing a player who not only meets their requirements but also maintains consistency in terms of fitness and availability. The looming question remains: Will Daniel Levy be willing to engage in a bidding war for Neto, and if so, what price tag is he prepared to meet for the 24-year-old winger?
