Tottenham have reignited their interest in signing Manchester City winger Savinho this summer, according to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano — and early talks are already underway.
A Squad Crying Out For Reinforcements
It’s been a season to forget at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Spurs finished as the most underperforming side among the top 17, scraping safety on the final day thanks to João Palhinha’s winner against Everton. Roberto De Zerbi inherits a squad with serious holes — not least in attack, where the club managed just 48 goals, the fourth fewest outside the relegation zone.
Brennan Johnson’s January departure, combined with injuries to Wilson Odobert, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski, has left the right flank desperately thin. A wide attacker isn’t just a want — it’s a necessity.
Why Savinho Makes Sense
Tottenham had Savinho on their radar last summer before the 22-year-old extended his deal at the Etihad. But with the Brazilian having started just seven Premier League games this season, a move away now looks inevitable.
Romano reports that initial talks have begun, and crucially, Savinho is open to joining Spurs — a significant boost for De Zerbi. Newcastle have also shown interest, but Tottenham appear to be leading the race.
The Verdict
Savinho brings exactly what Spurs lack — pace, directness, and end product. The stumbling block? His five-year contract means City will demand significantly more than his £34m Transfermarkt valuation. Expect this one to run deep into the summer window.
