It has been widely reported that Tottenham is in talks with Man City about a contract with Brazilian Winger Savinho, but Thomas Frank still needs to strengthen the rest of the Spurs squad.
On Sunday evening, trustworthy transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano broke the news that the Spurs had opened negotiations from City and the club to sign Savinho.
The son brought an emotional end to his 10-year stay at the N17, bidding farewell to the club during his emotional final match against Newcastle in Seoul.
The 33-year-old was a behind-the-scenes leader, attacking outstanding attacks on the field, but Frank is now forced to deal with the absence of his son ahead of his first full campaign to take charge of the North Londoners.
Tottenham very simply needs a winger’s outing alternative, and Savigno fits the bill.
South America is skilled at playing both in his son’s position and in the right field, bagging 13 assists in all competitions on Pep Guardiola’s side in 48 appearances last season.
Savigno helped set two goals in two games last season against North London’s rivals Arsenal. Jeremy Doc managed a more successful dribble than every city player in the Premier League last season, about 90.
The pace and directness of the previous Girona star could be a major asset for Frank as Dane appears to compete on the next four fronts, and despite reports of Tottenham rumors from Barcelona forward Ferran Torres, Savigno is now a broad target for their priorities.
However, considering James Madison will play for most of 2025/2026 after ruptured his ACL, the Spurs also need a natural number of 10.
Savinho actually played the City role in two final campaigns – against Salford City in the FA Cup and Al Hilal in the Club World Cup – but he is not an experienced and proven playmaker.
Ebelethi Eze was forced to consider joining Tottenham as a stall for Arsenal’s contract
A potential option is the 100,000 pound Crystal Palace star Ebe Kieze, which remains on the Spurs’ radar, according to TeamTalk.
There are credible reports that Savigno may not be Tottenham’s only summer contract (Fabrizio Romano), and their obvious needs for Cam means we cannot guarantee that Eze’s deal is not ruled out.
The 27-year-old was repeatedly linked to his move to Arsenal last month, but Gunner has been hesitant to make a formal bid for him. That means the door is still open for Tottenham to submit his offer.
Despite his eagerness to join Arsenal, TT claims that Eze has to “have to consider” other clubs as Mikel Arteta’s side stalls.
Daniel Levy has also been informed of possible terms of England International’s contract, indicating that the club has recently become more motivated to explore it.
Eze managed to get more shots, key passes and take-ons per match on goal passes last season than any other palace player. He is definitely perfect to fill the gap Madison left, given that it helps fill Tottenham’s “locally trained” Champions League quota.
According to TT, the sense of the EX-QPR would cost over £60 million, and given that Tottenham was once ready to spend the same amount on Morgan Gibbs White, that could be the cost that the spur is accepting payments.
