According Givemesport, Tottenham Hotspur are eyeing a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes before he… transfer Deadline next week.
The Spurs had a mixed start. Premier League season at Leicester City. They dominated the game at the King Power Stadium but only managed to get one point after a 1-1 draw. Rodrigo Bentancur suffered a heavy blow to the head in the second half and is likely to miss the next two games due to concussion rules.
Givemesport They now claim that Tottenham are looking for cover for Bentancur and could be willing to spend big money on Gomes' services. Wolves recently approved the departure of Pedro Neto to Chelsea for £54 million and it is claimed that they could demand at least £50m to part ways with Gomes.
First class
Gomes has been with Wolves since January 2023. He had an impressive full season with the Midlands side last season. The 23-year-old won 3.8 tackles and 6.2 duels per league match along with 5.4 ball recoveries. The Brazilian was also brilliant with his work rate and even played for Brazil in the Copa América.
The midfielder is currently one of the most valuable players in the Wolves squad, but we wouldn't be surprised if they decided to sell him for the right price. Wolves have already sold Max Kilman and Neto to West Ham and Chelsea respectively, but they could also be tempted to sell Gomes for a lot of money to avoid future problems with PSR.
Spurs have shown that they are willing to spend a lot of money on the right player. They made an initial outlay of £55 million Tottenham are keen to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth and could make a last-minute move for Gomes. The Flamengo player would be a top-class acquisition, considering he is only 23 and could still develop. Spurs' main concern over the past year has been their defensive positioning and Gomes looks a good option to protect the backline.
