Tottenham urged to sign 23-year-old Newcastle United target with 10 Premier League goals

Tottenham Hotspur urged to make a move for Newcastle United target Joao Pedro

Tottenham are grabbing headlines once again, and this time it is not for what they have achieved, but for what they should. The Europa League brought some consolation for the North London side at the end of the season. However, they finished 17th in the Premier League and this had more discussions. With Ange Postecoglou already gone and Thomas Frank set to be the favorite to be the new manager, the summer transfer window will be very important for Spurs.

The transfer market gives every club a new opportunity to strengthen the team, but it also exposes weaknesses if a club do not act decisively. Amidst all this, the name of João Pedro has begun to be mentioned frequently. Although Newcastle seem to be further ahead, there are already voices in north London calling for immediate action.

During a debate programme on talkSPORT, Alan Pardew was asked about Newcastle’s interest in Pedro. Without hesitation, the former manager expressed his enthusiasm for the Brazilian striker and suggested that Tottenham should pay serious attention to him. Pedro, with 10 goals in the Premier League last season, has attracted attention for his mobility, his aggressiveness in the box and his versatility. In a market where strikers with immediate impact are scarce, his profile stands out. With Spurs entering a new era under Frank, some believe the club should make a move for Eddie Howe’s interest.

Should Tottenham prioritise the signing of Joao Pedro to strengthen their attack under the new leadership of Thomas Frank? The answer is yes. Pedro is not a classic number nine, but he has something that Tottenham has lost: taking on defenders in the final third. Richarlison has not convinced, Son has had to play in different positions, and the team has lacked offensive consistency. Pedro can not only offer goals, but he can also create space, link up with teammates and press high up the pitch, which fits with Frank’s aggressive style.

Does Pedro fit better into Tottenham‘s rebuilding project than into Newcastle’s Champions League aspirations? Yes. At Newcastle, he would risk being a backup to Isak or Barnes, while at Spurs, he can be a key player. The club need figures who not only contribute on the pitch but also represent a change of direction. Pedro, at 23, possesses that kind of commitment: young, with experience in England, but with room for growth. He would not be a stopgap signing, but a pillar of the new cycle.

Can Pedro’s performance in the Premier League translate into success for Tottenham‘s objectives next season, including the Champions League? It depends, but the potential is there. 10 goals in a season with Brighton, without being a regular starter, speaks volumes. In a team with more prominence, better teammates and confidence, that number could grow. Moreover, it’s not just about goals: his reading of the game and his ability to switch positions make him a valuable asset in European competitions, where controlling the pace and tactical adaptation are vital.

From another perspective, it’s worth asking whether Spurs can really compete on equal terms with Newcastle in the current market. The north Londoners have history, but Newcastle has more sporting stability today. That’s why moving quickly could make all the difference. If Tottenham see Pedro as a key player, they must prove it with actions, not words.
