Can Pedro Neto move to Tottenham this summer?

Dean Jones, another reputable transfer journalist, has added to the speculation by stating that Neto's representatives are actively seeking a move away from Wolves.

Jones highlighted that Neto could potentially join Arsenal or Liverpool, but Tottenham appears to be a leading contender. Jones told the Ranks FC Ultras Podcast: "Pedro Neto's future is definitely in play this summer. Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool are all possible destinations. It's clear that his agency is working hard to secure a move."

For Tottenham, landing Neto could be a game-changer. The 24-year-old winger, known for his pace and creativity, could bring a new dimension to the Spurs' attack under manager Ange Postecoglou.

With the transfer window still open, fans will be eager to see if Tottenham can secure Neto's signature amid potential competition from other Premier League giants.
