Tottenham Hotspur fans have been begging to sign Savinho from Manchester City for at least a year now, as the rumors first spread quickly at the end of the last summer transfer window. But between Pep Guardiola not really wanting to lose an explosive player crucial to the club's depth and the inability of Rodrygo Goes to come from Real Madrid to the Etihad as a replacement, talks cooled, with Daniel Levy unwilling to meet the high asking price that the Citizens were setting for Girona's former La Liga Player of the Season dark horse in 2023/24.
Savinho did not end up playing much, especially not in the Premier League, for Man City last season, but he still more than made his mark in the Champions League, including playing at a high level against Real Madrid even when his teammates were thoroughly outclassed by their newest European rivals.
There is no question that in terms of skill and explosiveness, Savinho would be a major upgrade for a Tottenham team that only has two sure fire wingers in Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, with Tel still seen as being too raw to start despite what has been an amazing preseason thus far.
Savinho has to be coming to Tottenham
Savinho is finally starting to get closer to his dream Tottenham Hotspur move, and he is trying to put more pressure on Man City to sell him to N17 despite the club's continued reluctance to sell, with more talks of them looking for a replacement despite already signing Antoine Semenyo last winter when they already were barely playing the Brazilian international in the Premier League fixtures.
At this point, Savinho to Tottenham makes too much sense to not almost fully guarantee it from happening. He clearly wants to go, including liking so many social media pieces related to Spurs, and Tottenham have no better options out wide than him, particularly with the summer tranfer window set to close in just a few weeks.
As the window's end draws nearer, the chances of Savinho going to Tottenham will only increase. Roberto De Zerbi knows he needs another game changer out wide, and Spurs literally only have one option on the left wing healthy right now in Mathys Tel. Savinho is a player Spurs should have already ponied up for either last summer or earlier this window, and, now, it is crunch time, But Spurs are accelerating, and it should only be a matter of time befoe he walks through the door.
