Tottenham are closing in on another potential arrival in the summer transfer window, with Italian journalist Nico Schira reporting that an agreement in principle has been reached on personal terms with one target.

It comes as Spurs continue to move at a quick pace in the market, sealing moves for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi on free transfers.

There have been two bids now rejected for Jan Paul van Hecke, with a potential third on the way, as Roberto De Zerbi's rebuild is now firmly underway.

While the defensive ranks have been a clear area of focus, the next priority is the forward areas, with an agreement reached for one potential arrival.

Savinho Contract Agreement

Tottenham have shown plenty of interest in Savinho over the past year or so, opting against in the past two transfer windows, but interest has been revived once again.

Recent reports have claimed that Spurs are pushing to land the Manchester City winger, with a contract offer in the region of £120,000-a-week claimed to be made.

Now, Schira has reported via X that an agreement in principle has been reached between Tottenham and Savinho on the terms of a contract that will last until 2031.

The journalist claims that Roberto De Zerbi is keen on the 22-year-old, who has been described as "gifted" for his performances so far with City after costing them £30m.

All that is left is for a club-to-club agreement to be reached, before putting the finishing touches on the contract talks to secure yet another high-profile arrival.

That may get Tottenham closer to where they want to be, adding a player with Premier League quality and potential to grow even further in the future.

Pep Guardiola On Savinho

In Savinho, Tottenham could have an ideal one-on-one winger, who is capable of driving the team forward and making things happen in the final third.

It's something Spurs have been lacking in recent seasons, not least due to injuries in the forward areas, but the Brazilian forward could provide that in bucket loads.

There are question marks over his end product, having scored just seven goals for Man City since joining the club, but that clinical edge is all that is missing so far.

It was something Pep Guardiola touched on earlier this season, when he said: "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."

That's something Tottenham will be hoping De Zerbi can add to his game, coaching the 22-year-old to capitalise on the quality he has in general play.

If the forward can do that, then he will go on to become an important player in the Premier League for Spurs.
