Tottenham are close to agreeing a deal with Manchester City for their 22-year-old winger.
Tottenham Hotspur’s pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho appears to be gathering serious momentum, with Spurs Daily reporting that the Brazilian’s agent Rodrigo Zeitel has begun following Tottenham on Instagram in what is widely interpreted as a significant signal that a deal is edging closer to completion.
In the modern transfer landscape, social media activity from agents and players has become one of the more reliable indicators of an imminent deal, and an agent following a club on Instagram before an official announcement has become a recognised pattern in the lead-up to signings. The development has generated considerable excitement among Tottenham supporters who have been anticipating significant attacking reinforcements this summer.
Savinho has established himself as one of the most exciting young wingers in the Premier League during his time at Manchester City, where his direct running, technical quality, and ability to beat defenders have made him a player coveted by multiple top clubs. The 22-year-old Brazilian brings exactly the kind of pace, directness, and unpredictability that Tottenham’s attack has desperately lacked throughout their near-disastrous season, and his profile aligns naturally with the type of wide forward Roberto De Zerbi has consistently favoured throughout his managerial career.
De Zerbi needs attacking reinforcements at Tottenham
The timing of the reported progress is significant. De Zerbi has been unambiguous about his desire to complete the squad with first-level players this summer, and an attack that managed just three home Premier League wins across an entire season clearly requires urgent and significant investment. Savinho’s arrival would represent exactly the calibre of addition the Italian has been calling for since the final whistle confirmed survival.
