Tottenham have added Pedro Neto to their shortlist as a backup option if their pursuit of Savinho fails. Tottenham Hotspur have included Chelsea winger Pedro Neto on their transfer shortlist as a primary contingency option in case their pursuit of Manchester City’s Savinho fails to materialize. According to transfer authority Fabrizio Romano, as shared by Chris Cowlin on X, Spurs are keeping close tabs on the Portuguese international amid a potential transfer domino effect across European and Saudi Arabian football. Tottenham’s primary focus in wide areas remains Brazilian winger Savinho, but club decision-makers are taking proactive measures to ensure they are not left without attacking reinforcements before the transfer window closes. Should negotiations for Savinho encounter insurmountable hurdles, Neto represents a proven Premier League profile capable of immediately fitting into Roberto De Zerbi’s high-tempo tactical system. Detailing Tottenham’s stance on the player, Romano explained: “Tottenham have Pedro Neto on their list if the Savinho deal doesn’t happen, so Pedro Neto is on Tottenham list and remains on Tottenham list in case something happens and Savinho doesn’t join.” Al-Hilal Monitoring and the Winger Domino Effect Tottenham are not the only side assessing Neto’s situation as the deadline approaches. Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Hilal have also placed the Portuguese attacker on their radar as they explore late market opportunities to strengthen their squad. While Neto is one of several candidates under consideration in Riyadh, his prospective movement could trigger a broader transfer chain reaction across multiple clubs. Romano emphasized the cascading nature of these potential moves: “And then Pedro Neto is on the list at Al-Hilal as a possibility. Also in this case, depending on opportunities, he is not the only name for Al-Hilal but is a name. So let’s see about this domino of wingers. But for sure, Pedro Neto is one to watch.” With the transfer deadline fast approaching, Tottenham hierarchy remain poised to act swiftly depending on how the initial winger negotiations unfold across the market.
