Tottenham Hotspur now have a 'very good chance' of signing Manchester City winger Savinho, with Fabrizio Romano issuing a new update on the club's pursuit of the Brazilian, as well as naming another new target.
Tottenham continued an impressive run of form in pre-season by beating Chelsea 2-1 in the Sydney Super Cup on Saturday, as their half-a-dozen new summer signings continue to get to grips with life in a white shirt.
Roberto De Zerbi previously claimed that Spurs' summer business was 60% done, which suggested that there could still be four new additions arriving before the deadline next month.
However, the Italian has since claimed that he hopes for two or three more arrivals by September 1, all of which look to be attacking players given the north London outfit are being linked with moves for two wingers and a striker as things stand.
While the two wingers look nailed on given the strong interest in signing both Savinho and Cody Gakpo from Liverpool, the likelihood is that the striker signing will depend on either Dominic Solanke or Richarlison leaving the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the latter considered the most likely to leave.
Spurs will be hoping to complete a deal for long-term target Savinho sooner rather than later.
Romano: Savinho Has 'Very Good Chance' of Joining Tottenham
Tottenham have been trying to land Savinho for most of this summer, after also trying the land the Brazil international 12 months ago too.
Spurs failed to convince Man City to let the 22-year-old, described as 'extraordinary' by Pep Guardiola, go in 2025, but they are more hopeful of finding an agreement this time around after the forward's minutes were more restricted last term.
Romano has issued a new update on the north London outfit's pursuit of Savinho, saying there is a 'very good chance' of the deal happening, and that he isn't expecting any surprises in regard to it potentially falling through.
The Italian journalist also revealed potential interest in Chelsea winger Pedro Neto, should they fail to sign Savinho.
He said on his YouTube channel on Tuesday evening:
"The priority, the number one, two, and three target remains Savinho, and I think at the end of the summer transfer window, Savinho has very, very good chances to join Tottenham.
"So I don't expect any surprises here. Eventually, if the deal is not happening for Savinho, Pedro Neto could become an option for Tottenham Hospur. So that could be an interesting situation to follow."
It was only on Tuesday morning that the Daily Mail claimed that Tottenham were considering a summer move for another Chelsea player in Nicolas Jackson.
The Senegalese striker is being heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer, with Aston Villa understood to be very keen to reunite him with Unai Emery, although they may have to pay his £65m asking price to do given they are unable to loan both he and Alejandro Garnacho in the same window.
