According to Football Transfers, Tottenham Hotspur have now stepped up their pursuit of Wolves winger Pedro Neto, having spoken to the player and his club about a potential transfer.
Spurs want a new attacker this summer
The report claims that Ange Postecoglou is keen to revamp his attack ahead of the start of the new season, with Neto featuring prominently in the Australian’s plans.
Spurs have allegedly made further advances towards the winger, with the North London club discussing personal terms with the player on Wednesday.
Tottenham have been rather quiet in the transfer market since signing Archie Gray from Leeds United at the start of the summer. Even Yang Min-hyuk is only due to join in January 2025.
Competition from Arsenal for Pedro Neto
However, the report makes it clear that Tottenham will not have things their own way in the race for Neto, with Arsenal also continuing to eye the winger.
It is revealed that Mikel Arteta is keen to add a left-footed wide player to his squad in order to have adequate cover for Bukayo Saka.
Following the news that Nico Williams will stay put at Athletic Club Bilbao, the Gunners could now turn their attention towards the Portugal international.

With the Chiesa rumours having been dismissed by several reliable sources, Neto appears to be the only winger Tottenham are now after.
However, the club might also decide to pursue a versatile wide-forward rather than just an out-and-out wide player.
