Spurs maintain long-standing interest in Joao Gomes
Tottenham are in a difficult situation, with their manager, Ange Postecoglou, likely to be fired from his job because of disappointing results. They are 14th in the table, their lowest position in more than a decade; have been eliminated from every domestic cup competition, and only have the Europa League left to try and go for glory.
A considerable rebuild in the summer is needed and chances of winning silverware next season are minimal. Further, Tottenham Hotspur may attempt to recruit Joao Gomes in the January transfer window, with reports from GIVEMESPORT claiming that the Wolverhampton Wanderers star has been on their wish list for recruitment for almost a year.
Spurs must carefully plan their summer moves, as they are already committed to spending £20.9 million on Kevin Danso when his loan from Lens becomes permanent. Ange Postecoglou, alongside Johan Lange and Daniel Levy, is actively identifying further reinforcements. Despite their struggles, Tottenham have been pleased with their recent loan signings, including Mathys Tel, whose temporary move includes a £45 million purchase option. With the club still in the bottom half of the Premier League, strengthening the squad remains a priority.
Gomes will be a tough cat to catch for the Lilywhites as they face major competitions
Joao Gomes who lifted every domestic trophy with Flamengo, has really made an impression at Wolves since his arrival in 2023. He adapted to the demands of the Premier League instantly and has now played 80 times for Wolves as he embarks on the next stage of his career.
Spurs are looking to recruit the player this summer, according to GiveMeSport sources, but Wolves are eager to keep him at the club. With three years remaining on his £30,000 a week contract, Wolves are positioned well to negotiate, meaning that Spurs will have to meet their expectations if they want to be in the mix for a transfer.
Tottenham risk facing strong competition for Joao Gomes if they intensify their pursuit, with title-chasing Liverpool also showing interest, GiveMeSport sources reveal. Meanwhile, Manchester United remain admirers as they seek long-term replacements for Casemiro and Christian Eriksen.

Tottenham’s charge for the Brazilian could be halted if Wolves are determined to prevent Cunha who is very ready for some change of environment from leaving in the same transfer window, meaning Tottenham’s pursuit of Gomes could become even more challenging if Matheus Cunha is allowed to move on.
