Tottenham are said to be working on another deal after all-but wrapping up the club-record Sandro Tonali transfer. Spurs are spending £100million for the Newcastle United midfielder when add-ons are accounted for, and it makes for a record transfer window for the North London club, who have now spent more than £230million.
The spending will not stop there, either, with Roberto De Zerbi set to get even more money to spend before the window is out. Spurs appear to want a winger and potentially a striker, and it looks as though the spending total will soar beyond the £300million-mark when all is said and done.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs are now eyeing another Premier League star after signing the Tonali documents.
Spurs still want long-term winger target
According to Romano, Spurs are still hot on Manchester City winger Savinho, who they have been tracking for some time. "And let me tell you, don’t forget also the name of Savinho," Romano said on his latest YouTube show.
“I always told you Savinho remains a target for Tottenham and Savinho is a target for Tottenham. Then this in terms of timing will depend on several things – the transfer fee, Manchester City movements.
“So, there are a few details before we can say, okay, Tottenham are close to completing the Savinho deal. But the deal is still on. Tottenham have not stopped thinking about Savinho.
“So, remember also him after Sandro Tonali, after Mateus Fernandes, after Senesi, after Robertson, after Dubravka, because Roberto De Zerbi and the team are very busy on the market.”
City are said to be asking for a fee somewhere between £50million and £60million to sell Saviho this summer.
Savinho can be 'unstoppable'
Speaking earlier this year, now former Man City boss Pep Guardiola said: "At that age, in the one-against-one, he is unstoppable. When we finish the final product, he will be a top, top class player.”
He also said of the winger last season: “What I like from Savinho is always he is digging, go, go, go, all the time. The final decision can be better, of course, but always I reward this work ethic and especially because he goes and he goes all the time."
Savinho, who is still only 22 years of age, made 24 Premier League appearances for City last season, managing one goal and two assists. Last term was a down season for the Brazilian, though, and he managed 10 assists in the Premier League the previous season.
