Tottenham Hotspur have filled up their defense and midfield with new signings, and they even landed the ideal backup goalkeeper for new No. 1 man Antonin Kinsky, the hero of their successful Premier League relegation battle.
Now, with marquee additions like Jan Paul van Hecke, Sandro Tonali, and Mateus Fernandes to give Roberto De Zerbi the spine, control, and ball playing capabilities that he needs to excel as Spurs manager, it is time for Tottenham to land some real star makers in the attack.
Spurs leading goal scorer last season was Richarlison, which is not ideal at all, and their main threat on the wings was new signing Mohammed Kudus, who then missed the final months of the season with a soft tissue injury that was slow to heal.
Savinho wants this move, bad
Tottenham Hotspur have been looking at a few options on the wings to start the window, but the most prominent name is Savinho, whom Spurs were already linked to last summer but were unable to convince Manchester City to part ways with the former La Liga Player of the Season candidate (in 2023/24 with City's partner club Girona).
Savinho has been senting continuous messages on Instagram by openly flirting with Spurs players. He was liking. the posts of Sandro Tonali's announced transfer to Tottenham, and now he is sending kind words of praise to Pedro Porro in the replies.
As captured by Daily Hotspur, Savinho sent the Tottenham starting right back a rather flattering congraluatory message after Porro put the clamps on - of all people - his current teammate on the wings at Manchester City, Jeremy Doku. As fans in the replies have pointed out, the translation of what Savinho told Porro is something closer to, "Amazing player. He's a real one."
It may not seem like a big deal on the surface, but because Savinho has done this with Tottenham players several times and sent this message to Pedro Porro basically at the expense of Doku as Porro was one of THE standout reasons why Spain beat Belgium 2-1 in the 2026 World Cup quarterfinals, this is another subtle social media message and wink at Spurs.
Savinho clearly wants this deal to get done. At this point, it looks like he already sees himself as more of a Spurs player than a Man City one, given his praise for Porro from destroying Jeremy Doku of Belgium. Tottenham showed interest right at the beginning of the window but have not closed the deal yet; Savinho is practically begging them to.
