Обсуждение участника:‘Charney, I’m going to SON’ Wolverhampton ace, Tottenham calls… “Competition to recruit with rival Arsenal”
Tottenham are preparing to sign Hwang Hee-chan's teammate as Son's partner.
Britain's "The Hard Task" reported on the 6th (Korea time) that "Tottenham wants Pedro Neto."
Tottenham have been steadily working on recruiting strikers since last summer. The rebound of Son Heung-min and Richarlison and James Maddison have filled Harry Kane's vacancy to some extent, but the sharpness of the strikers is still a shame compared to the top teams.
The candidate brought in this winter is Timo Werner. Through Werner's loan deal this summer, Tottenham can sign him permanently after deciding whether he can be an addition to the Tottenham striker. However, aside from Werner's contribution to Tottenham's attack, his scoring ability and performance have yet to be impressive. This is something Tottenham cannot help but worry about.
Other candidates were also considered. Prospect Antonio Nusa was named. However, Nusa decided to move to Brentford. A medical examination later thwarted Nusa's move to Brentford, and Tottenham again considered signing Nusa but it did not come to fruition.
Having already performed well in the English Premier League this season, Neto had no choice but to impress Tottenham. Neto, along with Hwang Hee-chan, is Wolverhampton's ace this season. Despite his long-term injury last season, he made a perfect comeback with three goals and nine assists in 17 official matches this season. As his main position is the right winger, he is a resource to lead Tottenham's attack with Son Heung-min on both wings.
The Hard Trackle said, 'Neto has emerged as a target for Tottenham in the transfer window this summer. He is a player who inspires a lot of imagination among top-level managers. Tottenham is not particularly lacking in attacking players. However, Neto's versatility has proven to be a great weapon. He can easily play in three positions on the front line, and if Tottenham qualify for the Champions League, they can offer him a big offer.'
However, the competition is fierce. Tottenham rival Arsenal is the most aggressive team to recruit Neto. Arsenal have been consistently interested in the all-weather front-line resource of Neto and are reportedly considering it as a priority in the summer transfer window as well. Furthermore, there has already been word that Manchester City and Liverpool could also try to recruit Neto.
Meanwhile, besides Neto, Hwang Hee-chan was also reportedly mentioned as a candidate for Tottenham in the transfer market last summer. However, if Tottenham focuses on Neto, it is expected that they will not consider recruiting Hwang Hee-chan.
There is also a possibility that Neto, who showed outstanding performances, will move from Hwang Hee-chan's partner to Son Heung-min's partner. If his performance continues, the number of teams that will reach out to him as well as Tottenham will be huge.
