Tottenham Hotspur are making progress in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho.
According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham are closing in on a deal for the versatile winger, with discussions progressing on a deal that could be worth around £60 million.
Spurs have been tracking the Brazilian for some time and are now working to reach an agreement with City.
Negotiations are ongoing, with both clubs discussing the structure of the transfer fee, including performance-related bonuses and add-ons.
Savinho has been on Tottenham’s radar for more than a year.
The talented winger was interested in making the move to Spurs during the January transfer window, but City decided against selling him at the time.
The Cityzens tried to ward off Tottenham by demanding more than £70m, even though they were also working on transfer plans of their own.
Tottenham didn’t budge at the time, but the North Londoners have since revived their interest.
The 22-year-old has struggled to adapt to the pace of the Premier League but is still considered an exciting young attacker.
Bringing him in would strengthen Roberto De Zerbi’s side in two positions, with Savinho capable of playing on either flank.
City could be open to parting ways with Savinho this summer for the right price, and both parties look to be getting closer to a £60m agreement.
If Tottenham complete the transfer, Savinho would be the club’s third signing of the summer transfer window.
After avoiding relegation by the skin of their teeth, Tottenham have moved quickly to add a couple of experienced players to the squad.
Spurs have already announced the additions of defenders Marcos Senesi and Andrew Robertson on free transfers. They’re still looking to bolster their defensive options, but strengthening the attack seems to be the focus at the moment.
Savinho’s modest four goals and three assists in 36 games may not seem convincing, but a change of environment might be what he needs to bring out his explosive talent.
