You won’t find many Wolves supporters fretting about the sudden arrival of Nuno Espirito Santo at a direct Premier League rival.
Many at Molineux believe that a fresh start was needed anyway, and there is a real buzz of excitement about a more attack-minded game plan under former Benfica boss Bruno Lage.
But the prospect of Jorge Mendes pulling the strings at Spurs, raiding Molineux to strengthen an under-achieiving squad Nuno has inherited from Jose Mourinho?
That is enough to keep some in the Black Country faithful awake at night.
Could Pedro Neto join Nuno and Jorge Mendes at Tottenham?
Mendes has a difficult balancing act facing him this summer.
While he would never want to sour relations with Wolves’ Chinese owners, the Iberian super-agent is also hard at work looking to secure a move away from Molineux for some of his most high-profile clients.
It has been claimed that reports linking Ruben Neves to Arsenal are very much ‘agent-led’, while Mendes is at the centre of a deal that would see goalkeeper Rui Patricio leave Wolves for Roma.
With one of the most powerful agents in football now looking to make his presence felt at Tottenham Hotspur too, Wolves may be bracing themselves for an assault from Nuno’s new employers.
And you would think that, given the choice, Tottenham would pick Pedro Neto over every other member of Wolves’ squad.
A deserving winner of the club’s Players’ Player of the Year award, there is arguably not a more exciting young forward in English football right now – maybe Phil Foden, maybe Mason Greenwood, but Neto is certainly near the top of that list.
If Tottenham do come calling, however, Wolves will find themselves in a position of strength.
There are still four years left on Neto’s contract, while Bruno Lage is unlikely to agree to the sale of a player who would be such a key cog in his new-look Wolves machine.
