Tottenham think winger could be a great fit for Postecoglou – says Fabrizio Romano
Fabrizio Romano has said that some at Tottenham consider Pedro Neto as a great fit for Ange Postecoglou’s system, backing the Lilywhites to battle Arsenal and Liverpool for the winger’s signature in the summer.
Neto looks set to be one of the hottest contested players in the summer, with some reports indicating that Wolves have to cash in on the winger to ensure they do not fall foul of the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.
This was reported on Wednesday by TEAMtalk, who also alleged that Tottenham may have an advantage over other suitors since they have a good relationship with the agency that the 23-year-old is represented by, Gestifute.
Meanwhile, The Independent’s Miguel Delaney reported earlier this week that Ange Postecoglou is intent on adding a top-quality winger to his squad, with Neto being one of the names at the top of the club’s wishlist.
Delaney explained that Spurs would want any fee to involve portions made up of appearance-based clauses, given the Portugal international’s injury record.
Tottenham are one to watch in Pedro Neto race
Romano has now also named Tottenham as ones to watch in the race for Neto, naming Arsenal and Liverpool as the two other clubs who are expected to battle it out for the Wolves star’s signature.
Romano told CaughtOffside: “Another Premier League winger to watch could be Pedro Neto. I’m sure Arsenal like the player because already two years ago, they included Pedro Neto in their shortlist and Arsenal work like this – when they appreciate a player, they keep following him. Even if they were not able to make it happen two years ago, I’m sure they’re still keeping a close eye to Pedro Neto.
“Tottenham are worth keeping an eye on too, because someone at the club believes that they need a new winger in the summer, so Pedro Neto could be a fantastic solution. He knows the league very well so this could be an important factor but also they believe that he could be a good player for the idea of football wanted by Ange Postecoglou.
“So I think these two clubs will be interested in Pedro Neto, and I would also keep a close eye on Liverpool – let’s see who’s going to be their manager, let’s see who’s going to be their director and what kind of strategy they will have. But Pedro Neto has also been scouted by Liverpool in recent months and years. Olise, Neto – I think these kind of players will be on the list of many top clubs, especially in the Premier League.”

While Tottenham are in a very good financial position with respect to PSR and would thus be able to go toe-to-toe with any club next summer, the Lilywhites will find it very difficult to attract players of Neto’s calibre unless they qualify for the Champions League.
