Tottenham are challenging Arsenal in the race to sign Wolves winger Pedro Neto, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners are looking for an alternative to wide attackers Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli as they have very little depth in the wide areas.

But Romano reports that Spurs have now joined the chase for Neto, with Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou also keen to side widemrn this summer.
What did Romano say?
“Arsenal have some wingers in their sights for the summer, but while it’s normal to see a long list of names linked with clubs in this situation, who’s really emerging as the main options on Arsenal’s list?,” Romano said on CaughtOffside.

“Pedro Neto is a player Arsenal like and have looked at before, but we have to wait for Wolves to decide initial price tag to understand what Arsenal, Tottenham and more clubs will decide to do.”
Neto at Wolves
Neto joined Wolves from Braga in 2019 and has gone to become one of the most admired wingers in the Premier League.
This season he has been particularly impressive, delivering nine assists in 18 Premier League games and also scoring two goals.
It has been reported that Wolves would demand a transfer fee of at least €70 million to sell Neto, who previously had a loan spell at Lazio earlier in his career.
He has scored one goal in five appearances for the Portugal national team.
