Tottenham Hotspur eye winger

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on Wolves winger Pedro Neto, according to Teamtalk. Ange Postecoglou could see him as someone to bolster his attacking options.

Gary O’Neil has said: “I know how good he is [Neto] and how well he would do at a big club, but I want our team here to be unbelievably successful and I’m hoping he stays. There’s nothing going on at this moment from anybody, he’s in a good spot and I’ve spoken to him about how we’re going to play, how it suits him and the big part he’ll play in it.

“But of course, it can change really quickly if a massive bid comes in from a top club, then no-one will stand in Pedro’s way. It’s still my duty to him and everybody to make sure he’s ready to play for us.

“I’m confident that he will be here because we haven’t had anything that makes the club think he won’t be. But a lot of the business can be done late, even up to the last couple of hours, so until the window is closed there’s always a chance.”
