According to 90min, both Premier League clubs have enquired about the availability of the exciting winger. Serie A giants Juventus are also in the race for his signature. The 21-year-old is a versatile attacking midfielder who can also play across all attacking positions. Last season he scored five goals and six assists in the Premier League in 30 starts. He is a player with tremendous potential and Spurs, now managed by former Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo, want him in their squad. Spurs are set to offload Erik Lamela as a part of the deal to sign Bryan Gil and may sell Lucas Moura and Steven Bergwijn if they receive good offers. Neto would be a terrific si...

The 24-year-old moved to Molineux from Valencia in January 2018 for around £1.8 million (Daily Mail).

Bruno Lage desperately needs to bolster his defensive ranks at Molineux this summer. The Black Country outfit conceded 52 goals in 38 Premier League games under Lage’s predecessor Nuno Espirito Santo – the ninth-worst record in the division.

Liverpool fans have taken to Twitter in reaction to links with Wolves winger Adama Traore. Football Insider claimed two days ago that the Reds have actually made an approach to sign the powerful 25-year-old. Jurgen Klopp will undoubtedly be keen to bolster his attacking ranks at Anfield this summer. On his day, Adama is an incredibly potent threat. He just hasn’t been consistent enough over the past 12 months or so. And his poor goals and assists record from last season means that Liverpool moving to sign him would be a really strange decision from Klopp. He racked up just two goals and three assists in 37 Premier League games last season. Liverpool fans really don’t want Adama Traore The general consensus is that Klopp could and should be setting his sights a lot higher than the Wolv...

According to The Athletic, Wolverhampton Wanderers are confident that Newcastle United target Dion Sanderson will sign a new deal with the club. They report that the 21-year-old has rejected a recent contract offer at Molineux, with the player also the subject of a £1 million bid from the Magpies. The Athletic insist that Newcastle’s offer is well below Wolves’ valuation and has been swiftly turned down as a result. It’s believed that talks are ongoing regarding a potential new deal for the defender and that Wolves have an option to extend his contract by a further year. Newcastle could well return with a second offer, although it seems any new bid would need to be upped considerably if Steve Bruce is to get his man. Sportslens view: Considering that Wolves have an option to exte...
Nuno Espirito Santo has become the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur, the club confirmed yesterday. The Portuguese will now work alongside Fabio Paratici in bringing in the right profile of players at Spurs to bolster the squad ahead of next season. While keeping hold of Harry Kane should be top priority, the north London club must also look to add quality players in defence and midfield this summer. Last summer, Spurs added depth in midfield by landing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and he turned out to be a smart addition for the club. However, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko have been disappointing and the duo should be offloaded this summer. With that in mind, Tottenham should make a move for Ruben Neves this summer. Nuno knows Neves very well having coached him at Wolves. The Portugal internati...

Farke had previously coached the reverse side at Borussia Dortmund when Tuchel was the first-team head coach.
