Tottenham Hotspur are in talks with Manchester City to add some extra firepower to their attack in the form of Brazilian winger, Savinho.
Spurs boss Thomas Frank has seen him without the services James Maddison due to an ACL injury with the England international set for an extended spell on the sidelines.
Frank has also been lacking the services of Dominic Solanke during pre-season due to injury and also saw Heung-min Son complete his transfer to LAFC earlier this week.
With Tottenham set to face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup final on Wednesday, the club’s attacking options are lacking somewhat.
Tottenham in talks to sign Savinho from Manchester City
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has taken to social media platform X to confirm that Tottenham are currently in talks to sign Savinho from Manchester City.
The winger is said to be keen on a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium if both clubs are able to reach an agreement on a transfer fee.
Savinho showed his creative worth in the City side in the 2024/25 campaign, having been their leading creator with nine assists across the Premier League and Champions League.

Romano also added that Savinho is ‘keen on the move’ to Spurs, although Man City will only sell for more than the €50m Tottenham have offered.
Romano wrote on X: “More on Savinho and Tottenham exclusive story. First proposal has already been sent by Spurs, worth €50m – and Man City want more.
“Negotiations ongoing with City who are open to selling as Savinho is keen on the move, but only at their conditions. Deal absolutely on.”
Savinho would help to answer Tottenham’s creative problem
Tottenham have looked toothless in attacking phases for most of pre-season, especially during the 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich last time out.
Fans have already seen the Morgan Gibbs-White deal fall through and time is clearly running out with the transfer window closing at the end of the month.
Daniel Levy and the other Spurs figures need to get this deal over the line, rather than drawing it out to try to save a couple of million.
Squad depth is desperately lacking if Levy and the board expect Thomas Frank to compete on multiple fronts this season, a deal for Savinho would be the first piece towards salvaging the window.
