Man City insist Tottenham target is not for sale | Shoot

Manchester City will hope to cut Arsenal’s lead at the top of the Premier League to just two points by beating Leeds United on Saturday. 

The Citizens currently sit five points behind the Gunners but boast a game-in-hand, and also visit Leeds United prior to Arsenal’s match against London rivals Chelsea on Sunday.

That will allow Pep Guardiola’s side to move to within two points of the leaders, if they can return from Elland Road with all three points.

Away from the action, it appears that City are standing firm on their stance in regard to one of their attackers, amid ongoing interest from a Premier League rival.

As reported by CaughtOffside, Man City remain adamant that winger Savinho is not for sale, despite Tottenham Hotspur showing significant interest in the player.

Savinho, 21, joined City from French side Troyes in 2024, having impressed while on loan at Spanish outfit Girona; both Troyes and Girona are part of the City Football Group that also owns the Citizens.

Since arriving at The Etihad, however, the young winger has struggled to make much of an impact.

In total, he has scored five goals and registered 16 assists in 71 games for City across all competitions, but he has only started five of their 27 Premier League games this term.

The Brazilian was originally under contract at The Etihad until the summer of 2029, but penned an extension late last year which could now see his deal run until the end of the 2030/31 campaign.

Spurs showed interest in the player during last summer’s transfer window and had an offer of £70 million rejected, but the report claims that the Lilywhites remain interested in Savinho.

City are said to view Savinho as ‘untouchable’, though, with the club’s sporting director, Hugo Viana, convinced about his potential.
