Tottenham Hotspur have been incredibly active in the transfer market already this summer, with Roberto De Zerbi looking to make a major statement.
Spurs narrowly avoided relegation from the Premier League thanks to a 1-0 win over Everton on the final day of the season, and the Italian has now moved to strengthen the squad to ensure that is a situation they're not in again next season.
Andy Robertson has already been announced as the first signing of the new era, while Marcos Senesi is due to be announced imminently to strengthen the defence. Jan Paul van Hecke has also emerged as a target, with personal terms agreed despite two bids being rejected, and Man City star Savinho is advancing on a move, but another deal is now considered to be 'off'.
Tottenham Move for Summerville 'Off'
According to Dutch journalist Joost Blaauwhof, Tottenham's move for West Ham United winger Crysencio Summerville is now 'off'.
The north London club are keen to bolster their forward options with Randal Kolo Muani's loan expiring, Richarlison expected to be sold, and Dejan Kulusevski, Wilson Odobert, and Xavi Simons all dealing with long-term knee injuries.
But with Savinho's move from Man City understood to be advancing, it's now reported that Summerville will not be moving across London at this stage.
Spurs were understood to be leading the race for the Netherlands winger, who is set to star at the World Cup in Ronald Koeman's side having earned a call-up despite West Ham's relegation to the Championship.
The club were ready to make a 'concrete offer' for the 24-year-old winger, but they have now stepped back in their interest. A number of clubs in Italy are understood to be showing an interest in Summerville, including Champions League side AS Roma, and they are now expected to be taking the lead in the race for his signature.
Tottenham Moving Aggressively in Market
Tottenham are pushing hard in the market to strengthen the squad for De Zerbi, and it seems that they have made their mind up on who they want to pursue as a forward option.
Savinho was the top target last summer and they convinced the player to join, only for City to block the move and get him to sign a new deal. But the Brazilian now looks set to depart this year, and Spurs are ready to get it done.
That lessens the need for Summerville to come in, and it makes sense that the club are now prioritising certain deals over others, rather than keeping their fingers in all the pies just for the sake of it.
