Ruben Neves is keen on a return to the Premier League during the January transfer window, and Tottenham have been mentioned as a potential destination.
According to TBR Football, Tottenham were keen on the player during the summer window, and they are now being kept informed of the midfielder’s situation.
Ruben Neves keen on Premier League return
The 28-year-old wants to play in the Premier League once again, and Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are likely to sanction his departure.
His contract expires in the summer of 2026, and they will not want to lose him on a free transfer. This is their final opportunity to fetch a reasonable price for the player.
He has been described as a “fabulous” player in the past, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to improve Spurs. It remains to be seen whether they can sign the player. They will face competition from Manchester United as well.
Neves has shown his quality in the Premier League in the past, and he could prove to be an excellent addition for a reasonable amount of money. He has the quality and the experience to make an instant impact.
Can Spurs sign Neves?
Tottenham have seen the benefit of signing a Premier League-proven player this summer. Joao Palhinha has joined the club on loan, and he has been outstanding for the north London outfit. Neves could make a similar impact. They need someone who can control the tempo of the game from the deep, and the Portuguese International fits the profile. He could form a solid partnership with Palhinha and Pape Matar Sarr next season.
Spurs have an option to sign Palhinha permanently, and it is fair to assume that they will take up the option eventually. It will be interesting to see if they can sign Neves as well.
