Rumour: Tottenham Hotspur to battle Sevilla for Neilton - Santos's new 'Neymar'

Neilton

English Premier League side Tottenham has been linked with a move for Brazilian wonderkid Neilton who is dubbed as the new Neymar.

The 19-year-old who plays for Santos has been gaining attention from all around the world for his Mohawk and No 11 shirt that Neymar wore at the club. Neilton’s contract with the club runs out in the summer, and the player is reportedly holding off a new deal in favor of a move to Europe.

But Neilton insisted that he wants to stay at the club and added that he is negotiating a new contract.

“I want to stay. We are negotiating. I am not involved in the talks, but I intend to stay,” he said.

Sevilla is also in the scene for the signature of the youngster and has already made an offer of £600,000 but Tottenham is looking to launch a higher bid to lure the player.
