Tottenham’s two priorities for the remainder of the window are to sign a new winger and striker, with Wolves star Pedro Neto remaining a key target.
Neto last season was on fire with seven assists and a goal in his first 10 Premier League games before injuring his hamstring.
The 24-year-old struggled to regain that form upon his return and then suffered the same injury again. He missed a total of 23 games due to injury last season.
However, Neto is a more sensible player when he is in better form and it is not surprising to see big clubs like Tottenham move forward with his signing.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil admitted in a recent interview that “if a big offer comes from a big club, no one will stand in Pedro’s way. “
The Midlands side reportedly have offers of around £60m for Neto this summer and Tottenham are launching a bid for him.
But his injury history makes this potential move risky, so Ange Postecoglou will want to think carefully before signing.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Neto remains on Tottenham’s short list amid the search for a new winger.
“Pedro Neto continues to be a highly appreciated and valued player at Tottenham,” Romano told CaughtOffside.
“So, without a doubt, he’s one of the players they’ve had in the squad. We’ll see if they make the decision to step up, but I expect Tottenham to be busy from next week.
Tottenham have made a slow start in the movement window, signing Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall and Min-hyeok Hang so far.
But Postecoglou remains determined to bolster his squad, so expect more movement with incomings and outgoings before the window closes.
Richarlison, for example, remains far from north London.
This would only increase Tottenham’s desire to sign a new striker and, as reported in the past, Bournemouth star Dominic Solanke is seen as a key target.
Solanke, 26, scored 19 Premier League goals last season and can therefore become a revolutionary addition for Spurs if he can mirror that form to them.
However, Arsenal have joined the race for Solanke after cooling their interest in Viktor Gyokeres, so it will remain to be seen who makes the first bid for the £65m Bournemouth man.
