Report: Arsenal and Spurs could battle it out for £60m-rated attacker this summer
According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal have made some advances towards signing Tottenham target Pedro Neto as the two North London rivals look set for a transfer battle.
Arsenal and Spurs both like Pedro Neto
The report says that Arsenal are now showing ‘stronger and stronger’ interest in Neto, while Spurs are also continuing to keep their eye on the Wolves star’s situation.
The Gunners have allegedly held conversations with the winger’s representatives regarding a potential move to the Emirates, with the decision makers at the club said to be a fan of the Portuguese star.
However, the outlet claims they are expected to face a challenge from their local rivals, with the former Braga man also on the Lilywhites’ radar.
Pedro Neto or Eberechi Eze?
Interestingly, it is said that Tottenham might consider a move for Neto should they miss out on Crystal Palace’s Eberchi Eze, who has emerged as a ‘key target’ for the club.
The report reveals that the Wolves star was also watched by scouts from Manchester United, Manchester City and Liverpool last season.
The Midlands club are thought to be keen to keep hold of their star man and are expected to demand a fee of around £60m for their talisman.
Spurs Web Opinion
It is interesting that TEAMtalk seem to be suggesting that Tottenham view Neto as an alternative to Eze.
I would be surprised if that is the case as I believe Ange views the Palace star as an option for a central role, potentially as a number ten and a number eight.
