Tottenham is aggressively pursuing Manchester City winger Savinho, with new manager Roberto De Zerbi reportedly giving the transfer his full backing. The North London club is ready to heavily invest to revamp its attack for the upcoming season.
This intense interest was revealed by well-known Tottenham insider Paul O'Keefe. Responding to fans on X about the club's summer transfer plans, O'Keefe confirmed that discussions between Tottenham and Manchester City are actively progressing behind the scenes.
When questioned if Savinho was a specific target for the new manager, O'Keefe gave a clear "yeah," indicating De Zerbi has approved the deal. Further clarifying the club's priorities, when asked about the likelihood of signing either Savinho or West Ham's Crysencio Summerville, the insider stated that "all focus is on Savinho at the moment."
Targeting Savinho signals a significant ambition for Spurs. The 22-year-old Brazilian arrived at the Etihad with a strong reputation after a standout period at Girona, but with Manchester City signing Antoine Semenyo, Savinho's opportunities have diminished.
Despite initial challenges adapting to the Premier League, Savinho's raw talent makes him an exciting prospect for De Zerbi's dynamic, possession-focused style. Known for his blistering pace, flair, and exceptional dribbling skills, the winger excels in one-on-one situations out wide, a key element in De Zerbi's successful tactics at Brighton and Marseille.
While Manchester City is reportedly demanding a substantial fee for the young winger, De Zerbi's enthusiastic endorsement suggests Tottenham is prepared to make a significant offer to secure the player.
