In the transfer window, Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are facing off once more, with a few players maybe having to decide between the two.
Although both teams are interested in Lille striker Jonathan David, the competition to sign Pedro Neto, a forward for Wolverhampton Wanderers, appears to be more urgent.
According to a report from Give Me Sport, Spurs are now the front-runners to sign £60 million-rated Neto this summer.
Newcastle has been keeping a close eye on a number of wingers, including Anthony Elanga, Noni Madueke, and Jarrod Bowen.
Pedro Neto has been on the Magpies’ radar for some time, but there hasn’t appeared to be much of a forward movement, which implies Eddie Howe doesn’t think highly of him.
It now appears that Newcastle would need to move quickly to beat Tottenham, who can use their European qualifying as a carrot if Newcastle makes a move to sign Neto, if the Magpies are serious about making the move.
On his Seaman Says podcast, David Seaman previously called Neto a “special” player; nevertheless, it’s possible that his injury issues have prevented him from living up to that description.
Perhaps Newcastle’s injury history is what has prevented them from going past the “interested” stage.
We honestly would want to see us pursue Jarrod Bowen, despite the fact that it may seem unfeasible.
