LATEST: Is Not Yet Over For Newcastle As They Are Set To Sign Another Star

Liverpool are eyeing a move for Pedro Neto but journalist Graeme Bailey insists that it is Spurs and Newcastle who are at the front of the queue to land the Wolves star at the moment (Rousing the Kop).

Pedro Neto has been linked with Tottenham

Neto has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham for many months and the speculation shows no signs of slowing down.

Just last week, GiveMeSport asserted that Spurs were leading the race to land the 24-year-old and were optimistic about beating Newcastle and other Premier League clubs to the winger’s signature.

It has now been claimed that Neto has also been on Liverpool’s radar for a long time and the club could push ahead with a move for the player this summer.

Liverpool could enter the race for Pedro Neto

It is revealed that Arne Slot’s men may be on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah and the Portuguese star may fit the bill, having plenty of Premier League experience under his belt.

However, Graeme Bailey insists that while the race for Neto’s signature remains wide open for the time being, it is the Lilywhites and the Magpies who appear particularly keen on signing the former Braga man.

When asked about the Wolves star, the journalist said: “I don’t think there’s particularly a favourite yet. Wolves will let him go but I think he’s got a lot of options out there.

“Recently in the last few weeks, it’s been more Newcastle and Tottenham talking to Neto, but Liverpool are keeping abreast of the situation. He’ll cost £60m.”

Spurs Web Opinion

I do not see Tottenham being prepared to pay £60m for Neto, particularly if the club also want to sign one of Eberechi Eze or Desire Doue, along with a centre-forward (potentially Jonathan David).

Spurs would likely want to do a deal for the Wolves star for around £45m.
