Gary O’Neil has insisted that Wolves have no plans to sell rumoured Tottenham target Pedro Neto after his latest showing against the Lilywhites.
Neto has seemingly come off age this season, with his impressive displays reportedly attracting the attention of plenty of suitors.
This includes Spurs, with The Sun revealing earlier this month that Ange Postecoglou’s men and their North London rivals, Arsenal, are both plotting summer moves for the Portuguese star.
This was backed up talkSPORT a couple of days ago, with the outlet suggesting that Tottenham and Arsenal are leading the race for the 23-year-old, with the two London sides said to be ‘bracing themselves for a transfer tug of war’ for the player’s signature.
The publication further added that it would take an offer of around £60m to take the winger away from the Molineux Stadium at the end of the season.
Neto showed at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday just why so many clubs are keen on him, with the former Braga star proving a handful for the Spurs defence throughout the 90 minutes.
Wolves do not want to sell Pedro Neto
On the back of the showing, O’Neil showered praise on the winger and insisted that the West Midlands club have no intention of losing him.
The Wolves boss said about Neto after his side’s 2-1 win over Tottenham (via The Standard): “His strengths are incredibly strong. His athleticism and his pace are excellent. His quality on the ball or when he is trying to find a pass at the end of it is excellent.
“I am still working really hard on improving certain bits of him, which I think he needs to improve in my opinion. He knows that, we have spoken about that already… about how much he can do for the team..out-of-possession stuff and still some understanding with the ball.
“He knows we want to improve him. It would be really lazy of me to say ‘Oh he is fantastic’ and let him get on with it and see how well he does. I still want to push him and see how well he does. I still want to push him and get him as close to perfect as a wide player as we can.
“I have been asked a few times about the summer already. I am not interested in discussing Pedro Neto leaving the football club. He is a fantastic player that we spent a lot of money on and have worked very hard on. As far as I am concerned we do not want to lose our best players. We have a long way to go yet this season and hopefully, he stays with us.”
Spurs Web Opinion
With Neto contracted to Wolves until 2027, they are in a strong position and are likely to demand big money for him. The 23-year-old’s value will only continue to go up if he keeps delivering performances like the one he did on Saturday, thus making it even more difficult for Spurs to do a deal.
