# ‘Possibility’ – Fabrizio Romano confirms new attacking target for Tottenham

**Tottenham’s search for attacking players is starting to drive their fans nuts.**

Roberto De Zerbi’s side started their summer with a bang, spending £230m on six new signings.

However, since then, they have been on the lookout for their top attacking targets but have found it difficult to get deals over the line.

Various sources have confirmed over the weeks that Savinho and Cody Gakpo are Tottenham’s top attacking targets.

And now, Fabrizio Romano has thrown another name into the mix: Chelsea’s Pedro Neto.

## Pedro Neto is a target for Tottenham

He said on his YouTube channel: “Tottenham have Pedro Neto on their list if the Savinho deal doesn’t happen, so Pedro Neto is on Tottenham’s list and remains on Tottenham’s list in case something happens and Savinho doesn’t join.

“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.”

To be quite honest, Neto seems like someone the Lilywhites are keeping tabs on as a fall-back option in case they fail to sign Savinho.

If that’s the case, you can’t fault the club’s strategy as they want Savinho’s alternative to be someone with a similar skillset.
