According to a report in the Brazilian outlet Fla Web (as translated by Sport Witness), Tottenham Hotspur are now plotting a move for Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes.
Gomes arrived at Molineux Stadium a year ago from Flamengo after making name for himself in Brazilian football and we saw glimpses of the 22-year-old’s talent during the second half of last season.
The youngster has now well and truly settled into the Premier League, having become a key component in Gary O’Neil’s midfied this campaign and his performances this season have allegedly caught the attention of the Lilywhites.
Fla Web say that Spurs are keen on strengthening in the middle of the park and that they are ready to ‘make an investment very soon’ in the Wolves star.
The publication points out that Gomes is contracted to the West Midlands club until 2028 and with the player now being a key figure, O’Neil’s men are reluctant to let him leave.
However, it is asserted that Wolves will open the door for the midfielder’s transfer if their asking price of €35m (£30.1m) is met.
Spurs Web Opinion
The fact that this story is coming from the Brazilian media rather than the British press points to the fact that it is Gomes’ representatives who have leaked the information about Tottenham’s alleged interest. We will have to wait and see if this story has any legs.
