As Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton prepare for the upcoming season, here is the most recent transfer speculation from across the Premier League.
Tottenham Hotspur have been tipped to ‘accelerate’ their bid to land Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto.
The Portugal international is reportedly on the radar of a number of Premier League clubs despite revealing his desire to help Gary O’Neil’s side move to ‘another level’ in the future. Neto joined Wolves from Lazio in a £14m deal during the summer of 2019 and has scored 14 goals and provided 24 assists in 135 appearances during that time.
The versatile forward has been linked with moves to the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal in recent seasons and was believed to be one option under consideration by Newcastle as they look to add a wide player to Eddie Howe’s squad over the remainder of the summer transfer window.
Last week, there was talk about speculation regarding Neto’s future after Wolves manager O’Neil stated, “I know how good he is, and I know how well he would do at a big club.” It goes without saying that I want this team to achieve incredible success.
Thus, I’m hoping he remains. I believe so (there’s a possibility he remains). Nothing is happening from anyone right now.
He’s in a good place; I’ve explained to him how our game will unfold, how well it fits him, and how much of a role he will play. Naturally, though, while you’re talking to them, we’re all adults.
Naturally, though, while you’re talking to them, we’re all adults. Nobody is going to go in Pedro’s way if a major bid comes from a premier team.
According to transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano, Neto is “really appreciated and very highly rated” by Spurs. Romano also predicts that the North London team would pursue the Wolves star and begin a busy recruitment campaign in front of the upcoming Premier League season.
“Pedro Neto remains a player really appreciated and very highly rated by Tottenham,” Romano stated during a Playback Livestream.
He is undoubtedly one of the athletes who has always been on the list. We’ll have to wait and see whether they decide to pick up speed, but I anticipate Tottenham being quite active starting next week.
Liverpool makes demands on Southampton’s objective. Premier League opponents Southampton made an offer for Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho, but the Reds have reportedly turned it down, indicating their position on the young forward’s future.
The 21-year-old has impressed for the Reds during their recent tour of the United States as Arne Slot’s side claimed wins against Manchester United, Arsenal and Real Betis and found the net against both Premier League clubs.
His performances have caught the eye of the new Liverpool head coach, who is said to be against selling Carvalho and could hand the former Fulham academy product a chance to impress during the opening weeks of the Premier League season.
That would be a boost for Carvalho after he struggled to game regular game-time under former manager Jurgen Klopp and was sent out on loan to the likes of Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and Championship side Hull City over the last year.
Newly-promoted Southampton made an approach to sign Carvalho on a permanent deal over the weekend but were unsuccessful with their opening offer of around £15m and it remains to be seen whether they return with an improved bid.
CaughtOffside have now claimed Liverpool have informed their Premier League rivals and any other suitors it would take an offer above £25m before they will consider the sale of the Portugal Under-21 international.
