Tottenham Hotspur have now opened talks to sign an "incredible" forward, and Thomas Frank thinks he's "ideal", transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed.
Tottenham set sights on new winger following Son exit
With Son Heung-min moving to LAFC, and James Maddison suffering an ACL injury, football finance expert Dan Plumley believes Tottenham could be in line to make two more additions to their attack this summer.
Plumley said: "They have signed Kudus, but he’s a bit more of an out-and-out winger, but I think they’ve probably now got to be looking at right, we’ve lost Son, that’s a big gap to fill.
"But also, we’re now without James Madison for the season, and that’s another gap to fill. I think they’ve got to go and spend in the market off the back of those two things."
Jack Grealish had been named as a potential option for Spurs earlier in the transfer window, but widespread reports suggest the Manchester City winger is now closing in on a move to Everton.
With Eberechi Eze also edging closer to Arsenal, the Lilywhites have now set their sights on a different Premier League forward, according to Romano on X.
The transfer expert states that Tottenham have now opened talks over a deal for Man City winger Savinho, and there is a feeling the Brazilian would be "open to the move" if a transfer fee can be agreed.
The forward is regarded as "ideal" by Frank, but it could be difficult to get a deal over the line, given that City are eager to keep hold of him, having set a relatively high asking price.
"Incredible" Savinho could be ideal replacement for Son
Man City were far from their best in the Premier League last season, but the winger enjoyed an impressive debut campaign, recording ten assists, while also proving himself to be a very impressive dribbler of the ball.
Much like Son, the starlet has predominantly featured at left-wing throughout his career to date, indicating that he could be a like-for-like replacement for the South Korean, should the youngster be able to improve his goal tally.
The City forward scored just one Premier League goal last term, but he is still very young and has plenty of time to develop, and Pep Guardiola waxed lyrical about him last season.
Savinho could be a suitable replacement for Son, but it could be difficult to get a deal done, with City hesitant to sanction a sale.
