Tottenham are looking to bring in a “fellow Hwang Hee-chan (28, Wolverhampton)” who can play alongside Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) or act as his backup.

“Tottenham are trying to sign a £60 million ($105.7 million) player that Arsenal are targeting,” British media outlet The Boot reported on Jan. 1.

The player in question is Wolverhampton’s Pedro Neto (24). His main position is right winger, but he can also play on the left flank. He also occasionally plays as an attacking midfielder.

According to Footballtransfer, Tottenham are one step ahead of Arsenal in the race to sign Neto.

Spurs have reportedly held talks with Neto and have discussed personal terms.

“Neto has also been on Arsenal’s radar as they look for a replacement for Victor Moses. However, Neto is a key part of manager Enzi Postecoglou’s plans to overhaul the Spurs squad and the club are stepping up their efforts to sign him.”

Earlier, last month, Tottenham fan page Spurs Web also reported that “Spurs are in constant contact with Neto’s representatives and will make a move if they can get him for the right fee.”

Portuguese winger Neto is a key part of Wolverhampton’s attack.

He arrived in a Wolverhampton shirt in 2019 and took the Premier League 카지노사이트 (PL) by storm with his explosive pace, darting runs, and sharp kicks.

Neto showed tremendous pace last season as well. With one goal and seven assists in his first 10 league games, he was one of the top wingers in the PL. But a hamstring injury sidelined him for a long time, and he ended up with three goals and 11 assists in 24 games.

There”s no doubting his talent. The problem was too many injuries. Neto was out for the 2020-2021 season with a knee injury, which also cost him the first half of the following season. In 2022-2023, he injured his ankle and underwent surgery, and last season, he injured his hamstring twice and missed a whopping 125 days.

The key question is how much Wolverhampton would be willing to pay for Netou. Wolverhampton reportedly value Netou at £60 million. The club won’t be able to let him go easily, as he has a great partnership with Hwang Hee-chan and leads the team’s attack.
