A new era has come to Tottenham Hotspur. Not only did Spurs hire a new manager in Thomas Frank, who already has Spurs fans buzzing about his tactical acumen and leadership, but they also signed two of the their three most expensive transfers of all time this summer between Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons.
After this productive summer transfer window, Tottenham gave their fans the best gift possible by finally pushing chairman Daniel Levy out of the club, with the intention of spending more money and getting away from the old habits of Levy, aiming to push for more prestigious silverware and a seat at the head of the table of European football going forward.
As part of that, Tottenham are expected to invest more heavily immediately in the subsequent summer transfer windows, and it sounds like they could start those efforts by moving for one of the top transfer targets they missed this summer.
Per reporting from the Daily Telegraph's Matt Law, Tottenham Hotspur could be back in for Manchester City star winger Savinho, as they have not ruled out the idea of making another transfer bid to their Premier League top five rivals this summer.
Tottenham missed out on a top player
While Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White were collapsed deals, the inability of Daniel Levy to secure Savinho for Tottenham was the most frustrating non-move of the summer window. Because in the case of the other two, Spurs ended up with a better and younger player in the end in Dutchman Xavi Simons.
But after striking out on Savinho, Tottenham didn't sign a single winger to add to Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus, frustrating Spurs supporters immensely. Tottenham still have a gaping need on the wings after failing to make competitive enough offers to sway Manchester City, but if there's any chance of Man City listening to a Savinho transfer offer, then Spurs absolutely have to be involved.
With Levy out of the picture and more money and willpower to facilitate big transfers like this one, Savinho could be a bigger reality. A lot depends on Manchester City's own willpower, which could be lower in the middle of the season, but it's a positive for Tottenham fans to see early reporting in a post-Levy world indicating that the club will be back in for the most talented transfer target they didn't end up signing during the summer 2025 transfer window. Savinho is a game-changer.
