Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly on the brink of securing a remarkable hat-trick of signings in the January transfer window. Following the additions of Timo Werner and Radu Dragusin, the focus now shifts to reinforcing the midfield, with Ange Postecoglou keen on building on the team’s success in the first half of the 2023/24 season.

According to reports from Brazilian outlet Fla Web, Spurs have set their sights on Wolverhampton Wanderers’ midfielder Joao Gomes, signaling their intention to submit a bid for the talented player very soon. Wolves acquired the 22-year-old from Flamengo just a year ago in a reported £15 million deal, and the club has made it clear they won’t entertain offers below £30 million.

If Tottenham successfully secures Gomes, they’ll be adding a Premier League-proven talent to their ranks, with the Brazilian midfielder boasting 31 competitive appearances for Wolves, primarily in the English top flight. Known for his tenacious style of play, Gomes excels in tackling and defending, drawing comparisons to N’Golo Kante, Bruno Guimaraes, and Gennaro Gattuso.

Scouting outlet Breaking the Lines praised Gomes’s ability to win the ball without going to ground, describing it as a phenomenal quality for initiating quick attacking transitions. Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout further emphasized Gomes’s unique skill set, calling him a fantastic mix of a midfield destroyer, deep-lying playmaker, and box-to-box midfielder.

Described as a “tireless runner” with an incredible work rate, tenacity, and a blend of good technique and playmaking skills, Gomes appears to be an excellent fit for Tottenham’s ambitions. As negotiations unfold, Wolves’ strong position in mid-table may influence their willingness to cash in and potentially double their investment. The coming weeks promise excitement as Spurs pursue the talented Brazilian midfielder to further strengthen their squad.
