Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a new attacking player, with the London side set to compete on four fronts in 2025-26.
Thomas Frank’s men will open their Premier League season by hosting newly-promoted Burnley on Saturday, with the Spurs faithful hoping for three points.
Tottenham sold Son Heung-min to LA Galaxy earlier this summer and as such, they are in transition in attacking areas.
Despite Tottenham signing Mohammed Kudus from West Ham, the London club will surely be in the market for another attacking addition before the window closes on September 1.
Tottenham want Savinho to leave Manchester City for London, with the Brazil international a player that Spurs admire.
City boss Pep Guardiola was asked about the South American winger’s future ahead of City’s trip to Wolves this weekend, with the Spanish manager stating he had not spoken to Savinho about a possible transfer.
“Whether it’s Tottenham in that case or any other club, a player should call the club [if they wish to move],” Guardiola said, according to The Guardian.
I am only concerned right now that Savinho will be with us for the rest of the season and hopefully many years because, at 21 with the potential he has, he has to improve in final positions but he is an extraordinary player.
“At the end, as always, the desire of the players is above everything but then they have to find an agreement with the club.
“If they don’t reach an agreement, the player will be here because the club spends money on those players.
“If they want to leave, they will come to me. If they want to leave, they will knock on my door.”
Savinho will not be part of the City squad this weekend as he nurses an injury.
Savinho must decide where his future lies
While a deal to sign Savinho will be tough to complete, Tottenham should take encouragement from Guardiola’s comments.
City clearly do not want to keep players who see their future elsewhere, with Jack Grealish joining Everton on loan earlier this month.
For Tottenham, convincing Savinho that he can play a key role for the club in both the Premier League and Champions League could get a deal over the line.
The Brazilian would add pace, power and cut-through to Tottenham’s attacking options and provide competition to Kudus and Brennan Johnson on Spurs’ right.
