Tottenham Hotspur are ready to try their luck again to sign a Premier League attacker in January after failing with a big offer for him in the summer.
Reports continue to suggest that Spurs are expected to prioritise strengthening their attack in January, with the Lilywhites willing to spend big to do so.
It has now been suggested that the North London club could go back in for a 21-year-old winger, just a few months after their interest in the player was turned down.
According to some sources, Tottenham tried until summer transfer deadline day to strike a deal for Savinho, but Man City refused to budge on their stance.
Man City’s resolve to keep Savinho could be tested again by Tottenham
It has now been revealed by TEAMtalk that Tottenham Hotspur were willing to pay £70m for the Brazilian in the summer.
The outlet says that some sources close to Man City were left surprised that the club failed to accept that fee for the player in the summer.
It is pointed out that Savinho’s performances have been inconsistent this season, and the winger is struggling to get regular game time at the Etihad Stadium.
