From Brazil: Tottenham signal they’ll ‘make investment very soon’ in Wolves player

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ João Gomes has ended up on Tottenham Hotspur’s agenda, according to a surprise claim from Brazil.

The midfielder arrived at Molineux from Flamengo a year ago and has established himself at Wolves. He’s made 31 appearances, out of which 20 are from this season.

Gomes’ performances for Wolves have seen Tottenham take notice, according to a report from Fla Web.

It’s claimed Ange Postecoglou’s side are signalling that they will ‘make an investment very soon’ to sign the 22-year-old.

The Brazilian’s contract at Wolves lasts until 2028, with an option for another year. The report adds the Premier League side see Gomes as a key figure under Gary O’Neil but are ready to open the door for his transfer if their conditions are met.

According to Fla Web, Wolves will need an offer of at least €35m to sanction Gomes’ sale, but they don’t mention whether Tottenham are ready to meet that request.

Flamengo are entitled to a percentage of the fee from Gomes’ sale and keep a close eye on this case.

It’s to be noted other Brazilian outlets have carried this report, citing Fla Web as the source.

Whether the claims progress from here remains to be seen. Such claims can sometimes be the result of intermediaries trying their luck at building deals.
