He has 11 goals and assists in the Premier League this season.

Ange Postecoglou spent an incredible £212.3 million in his first transfer window as Tottenham Hotspur manager, bringing four prominent first-team players to the club with the goal of helping them reclaim European football. This includes the permanent capture of Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro.

Spurs added some attacking quality to their team last summer when they signed Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. Johnson joined Nottingham Forest on deadline day for £47.5 million, the East Midlands club’s record transfer fee. Maddison joined Forest from rivals Leicester City for a cost of £40 million.

Spurs, on the other end of the pitch, reinforced to improve their defensive stability. Guglielmo Vicario was signed from Empoli as Hugo Lloris‘ direct replacement for £17.2 million, and Micky van de Ven was brought in from Wolfsburg for £43 million and has had a fantastic season.

According to ESPN’s James Olley, Postecoglou has asked three new acquisitions this summer to help enhance his squad. This summer, several Spurs players will leave to complete deals.

There will most certainly be some outgoings, allowing the club to bring in a major Premier League attacker.

Spurs trying to sign a Premier League winger.

The player in question is Pedro Neto, a Wolverhampton Wanderers and Portugal winger. Despite a difficult season due to injuries, Neto has produced remarkable results and is now attracting interest from Spurs and other Premier League clubs.

According to talkSPORT writer Alex Crook, Wolves might trade Neto for £60 million, albeit Spurs are not believed to be the only team interested. Crook believes Newcastle United, Premier League champions Manchester City, and Tottenham’s North London rivals Arsenal are all interested in signing the 24-year-old.

This news comes just days after Wolves boss Gary O’Neil said that his team should sell several players to fund their summer transfer plans. In a recent interview, O’Neil indicated that Wolves “will not be blessed with resources in the form of money to spend,” but that their present loan players “can come back and help us or we will be able to sell some.”

This clearly opened the door to Neto’s future exit, and he might earn a big amount that O’Neil can reinvest in his team.

How would Neto fit in at Tottenham?

Despite his aforementioned injury difficulties, including missing 20 games this season due to a hamstring ailment, the winger’s stellar record makes him an appealing potential for Spurs.

In 20 Premier League appearances this season, the 24-year-old has scored twice and provided nine assists. He has also scored one goal and provided two assists in four FA Cup games.

What makes this more greater is that Neto has only played 1,519 minutes in the Premier League. That corresponds to only 16 90-minute periods, with 11 goals scored over that time.

Signing Neto would provide significant depth to Spurs’ wide options. The Portugal international can play anywhere on the attack, having appeared in four different places for Wolves this season. It creates a fascinating battle between Richarlison and Kulusevski, who he has more assists than.

However, he would most likely play on the right wing, given Spurs’ depth on the left side, which includes Johnson, and their captain, Son Heung-min, who can play there if they sign a striker this summer. Spurs’ first choice on that side is now Sweden international Kulusevski, but that could alter with the addition of Neto.

In signing the explosive Wolves player, you get a considerably different winger than the former Juventus star, as well as Richarlison, who has occasionally played on the wing under Postecoglou.

Neto is one of the Premier League’s most direct players, preferring to pick up the ball and drive at a full-back, whilst Kulusevski prefers to hold possession and wait for an opportunity.

This is reflected in their individual Fbref numbers. Statistically, Neto is one of the finest dribblers in European football this season. He averages 5.83 progressive carries per 90 minutes, putting him in the top 5% of European wingers; 3.86 carries into the final third per 90 minutes, putting him in the top 3%; and 2.49 carries into the penalty box per 90 minutes, putting him in the top 11%.

There is little doubt that Neto brings a significantly different aspect to the Spurs assault. He is a profile they lack and produces excellent results. He was labelled as “unstoppable” by one football commentator on X, and the numbers clearly show why.

Wolves are rumoured to seek £60 million for their talismanic winger, which may be a wise move by Postecoglou’s side, allowing them to supplement their team with a devastating two-way winger.
