The January transfer window may have closed just a matter of hours ago, but – somehow – Tottenham Hotspur are already being linked with summer moves, with Goal claiming an interest in Ajax’s David Neres.

Spurs ended the transfer window with one major addition, as winger Lucas Moura joined the club on deadline from Paris Saint-German, handing Mauricio Pochettino another attacking option.

With no major departures, Spurs can be mostly pleased with their transfer business in January, and reports suggest that one eye is already on the summer transfer window.

Goal report that Tottenham are planning a bid for Ajax winger David Neres, in the hope of landing him to join him up with fellow Brazilian wide man Moura next season.

Neres, 21, has been a sensation for Ajax this season, having hit eight goals and nine assists in just 18 Eredivisie games, becoming one of the top players in Dutch football this term.

A speedy right-sided winger with a superb left foot, Neres looks set for a huge future, and after raiding Ajax to land Davinson Sanchez last summer, Spurs may look to do it again with Neres in a matter of months.

However, having just splashed the cash to sign Moura, and given that Pochettino already has Son Heung-min, Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Erik Lamela at his disposal, it would be a surprise to see Spurs splash the cash on another winger.

Spurs may well rate Neres highly – and who could blame them after the season he has had? – but Pochettino may have greater priorities when the next transfer window opens.
