They might not have an awful lot to show for it, but Tottenham Hotspur have been blessed with an abundance of talented superstars over the years.
The two players who'll likely stand out in the minds of fans today are probably Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
However, as talented as both of them are and for everything they did for Spurs, particularly in the case of the latter, we reckon the best player to have played for the club over the last two decades was Gareth Bale.
At his peak, the Welshman was utterly unplayable, and while he enjoyed most of his success away from the Premier League, he still managed to score 71 goals and provide 53 assists in 237 appearances for the Lilywhites.
Spurs could do with a player of his ability in their current squad, making reports linking them to someone who could develop into another Bale particularly exciting.
Spurs target their new Bale
There are still a few weeks until the transfer window slams shut, and while it's not been perfect, it would be fair to say Spurs haven't had a bad summer thus far.
They might've missed out on Morgan Gibbs-White, but Daniel Levy and Co completed the statement signing of Mohammed Kudus early on, and on top of making Mathys Tel's move permanent, added another exciting youngster into the mix in Kota Takai.
However, the North Londoners are not done yet, as they now appear to be going after a Premier League ace who could develop into their new Bale.
At least that's according to a recent report from transfers expert Fabrizio Romano, who has reaffirmed that Spurs are very interested in Savinho.
The Italian journalist goes further than that, though, revealing that the Lilywhites have already made an offer of around €50m - £43m - for the Brazilian, although Manchester City quickly rejected it.
According to other reports, the Citizens would accept a fee of around £50m, and while that's undoubtedly a lot of money, Savinho could well end up being worth it in the long run, especially as he could be another Bale.
Why Savinho could be Spurs' new Bale
Okay, so before the pitchforks and torches come out, we are not for one second suggesting that Savinho is already at the level that Bale reached at his zenith at Spurs, not even close.
However, there is every chance that the Brazilian could end up having a similar career with the North Londoners, especially when you take into consideration the fact that the Welshman wasn't exactly a hit from the word go during his time with the club.
One of the key similarities between the players is that they're both left-footed wide players, and while the City gem spends plenty of time out on the right, he's also more than capable of playing on the left.
Another key overlap is in how their style, as during his time in North London, the multiple Champions League winner was known for his brilliant ability to beat opposition players with the ball at his feet, either through a burst of pace, or some trickery.
This is something the "unbelievable" 21-year-old, as dubbed by Pep Guardiola, is also capable of doing, and his underlying metrics prove it.
According to FBref, he sits in the 1% of attacking midfielders and wingers in Europe's top five leagues for total and progressive carrying distance, the top 4% for carries into the penalty area, the top 5% for shot-creating actions from take-ons, the top 6% for successful take-ons and more, all per 90.
These numbers make it abundantly clear that, like the Wales legend, the São Mateus-born ace is world-class at getting the ball into dangerous areas.
Moreover, while he might not have the goal-scoring numbers just yet, his strike against Juventus in the Club World Cup proves he is capable of producing a wondergoal.
Ultimately, Bale is one of the greatest players to have represented Spurs in the modern era, and while he won't be at that level right away, Savinho looks like he could become as crucial for Frank and Co.
