Tottenham are continuing in their pursuit to sign Savinho from Manchester City, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that a deal will be done "quite soon".

Spurs have already completed their first signing of the summer transfer window - despite it not being open yet - with Andy Robertson confirmed to be joining the club on July 1, following the expiration of his contract at Liverpool.

A second free transfer should follow in the coming days, with Marcos Senesi set to arrive from Bournemouth, having "given his word" to complete a move to Tottenham this summer.

Tottenham have been linked with other free transfers too, namely John Stones from Manchester City and Dusan Vlahovic from Juventus and canny free deals like that will allow Roberto De Zerbi to potentially splash out bigger cash on individual signings.

Spurs make contract offer to Savinho

One of those looks likely to be for Stones' Man City teammate Savinho.

Spurs are likely to have to drop a fee of at least £50million to sign the Brazilian from City this summer and there have been talks over a deal, with an insider suggesting Tottenham had already made a £120,000-a-week contract offer to the 22-year-old.

Romano believes a deal will not be far off completion for Spurs to spend their first big money of the summer transfer window and bolster De Zerbi's attacking options.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Romano said: "Tottenham are going for Savinho, Tottenham feel that the player wants the move, Totenham feel that Savinho one year ago was already ready to go to Tottenham.

"Savinoh was attracted to Tottenham one year ago and Savinho is attracted to Tottenham today, so on the player's side I don't see big issues. I think on the player's side Savinho to Tottenham can get done quite soon.

"Now it's on Manchester City and Tottenham, negotiating, discussing, talking about the transfer fee, but Tottenham are in it, they are working on the Savinho deal."

Savinho did not have the best of 2025/26 seasons

City signed Savinho from French club Troyes in 2024 in a deal worth around £31million. Spurs did have a bid of more than £60million knocked back last summer, but could negotiate a fee less than that given the player's disappointing 2025/26 season.

The forward only started 14 games in all competitions, with 36 appearances in total, scoring just four goals and providing three assists.

De Zerbi likes to play with conventional wingers in his 4-2-3-1 system and he will see Savinho as perfect for his system.

Soon after signing him, Pep Guardiola said: "His impact has been really, really good. He is a player who can play on both sides, can come inside, but what I like most is how devastating he is in the final third. He gets the ball, and his first thought is always to attack the opponent. He is aggressive, he is fast, and he has a unique quality to dribble past two or three players. For a manager, having a winger with that kind of personality is a gift."
