Tottenham need to find a way to bring in new attackers before the start of the new Premier League season.
Tottenham are hoping to strengthen their wide areas before the new season commences in a few days’ time. The Lilywhites have made significant progress under Roberto de Zerbi during pre-season, with the players understanding their roles perfectly and the squad playing high-intensity, attacking football. However, there are still some major gaps that need to be addressed before the North Londoners begin targeting European spots in the coming months.
There is an urgent need to bring in new attackers as Roberto de Zerbi aims to kickstart a new era at N17 this season. It is no secret that Spurs lack firepower in the final third and could struggle to find the back of the net if no new attackers walk through the doors at Hotspur Way before the September 1st deadline. With the Lilywhites facing a major shortage of players on the left flank, it is important that the Lewis family act quickly and bring in players who are ready to make an instant impact at N17.
Spurs have been locked in negotiations with Manchester City over a potential deal for Savinho. The Brazilian is viewed as a priority target for the Lilywhites, who have been keen to sign him for quite some time. It is reported that the 22-year-old will command a hefty fee and that the talented winger has already agreed personal terms with the North Londoners as he looks to force a move to N17 in the coming days.
Tottenham are not the frontrunners to land Chelsea star Pedro Neto this summer
It comes as no surprise that Tottenham are hoping to bolster their attack for the upcoming season. The Lilywhites only managed to score 48 goals in the Premier League last season, making it clear that a major revamp was needed in the final third of the pitch. With Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert still recovering from their ACL injuries, signing a new left-winger remains a priority for the North Londoners this summer.
Recent reports have linked Spurs with Chelsea star Pedro Neto. While negotiations continue with Manchester City to land Savinho, the Lilywhites have started looking at alternatives in the transfer market. As a result, Neto is being viewed as a backup option for the North Londoners in case they miss out on Savinho in the coming days. The Chelsea star is also keen to leave Stamford Bridge as he aims to take the next step in his career this summer.
However, it seems as though Spurs might not land the prolific winger in the coming days. As per Nicolo Schira (via X), Pedro Neto is edging closer to a move to Al-Hilal before the transfer window shuts shop in two weeks’ time. The Saudi giants are keen to sign the Portuguese international, offering him a long-term deal and a huge salary. As a result, the talented winger is also prioritising a move to the Saudi Pro League for the upcoming campaign.
Seeing Pedro Neto don the Lilywhite jersey was always going to be a long shot. It is important that Spurs now manage to complete the deal for Savinho as they look to strengthen their wide areas for the upcoming season. Roberto de Zerbi is keen on signing the Brazilian, and it seems as though his wish could be granted if both clubs agree on a suitable transfer fee for the 22-year-old. All eyes are now on the North Londoners as they look to conclude this transfer saga by landing their priority target before the opening game against Brentford.
