Tottenham have reportedly joined the race to sign Wolves winger Pedro Neto, who has strongly been linked with a move to Arsenal.

The Portuguese international is set to depart Molineux at the end of this season as Gary O’Neil looks to cash in on his star player to help Wolves meet the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.

And Arsenal have been rumoured with a move for Neto, with Mikel Arteta expected to bring in both a world-class centre-forward this summer as well as wide-attacking depth that will challenge Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka.

Tottenham join Arsenal in race to sign Pedro Neto

However, according to the Sun, Tottenham are now chasing Neto, with the north London side also joined by Manchester United as rival Premier League clubs begin to ignite their interest in signing the 23-year-old attacker.

Lauded by David Seaman as a ‘special’ player, the £60m-rated forward could be a dream summer signing for Arsenal in their quest to bolster out their attacking options.

Yet with Tottenham now in the hunt for Neto, there’s a real chance that Arsenal’s north London rivals could now take the lead in this transfer race given how suited the winger would be for Spurs.

Indeed, Ange Postecoglou has worked wonders with a number of Tottenham players this season as well as with new signings, and the Australian manager could do the same with Neto if a deal can be reached.

Arsenal can’t lose out to Tottenham for Wolves superstar

Arsenal are clearly big fans of Neto having been linked with the attacker for so long, with Arteta a manager who fights tooth and nail to sign players he is interested in.

Yet with Tottenham now in the race for Neto, there’s real competition out there for Arsenal in their bid to sign the Portuguese winger, who simply can’t head to the other side in north London.

Whilst Arsenal have the funds to make a deal happen, the Gunners need to start putting in the work now to sign Neto, who could be convinced to head to the Emirates Stadium over Tottenham.
