Tottenham Open Talks With Man City To Sign Savinho

Tottenham Hotspur have started talks with Manchester City to sign Savinho. The Brazilian winger is open to the move if the clubs agree on a fee.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Spurs have started negotiations with City about Savinho, a 21-year-old winger. He did well in Spain last season which got him a transfer from Girona to Manchester City and wants more playing time. He is willing to join Tottenham if they can agree on a price. New head coach Thomas Frank thinks Savinho is perfect for his team and wants to speed up the discussions.

WHY SPURS WANT SAVINHO

Tottenham want to add speed and creativity to their team. They think Savinho can score goals and pose a threat. He can play on either side of the pitch and fits well in Frank’s pressing system, especially after Maddison’s injury that will have him sidelined for 6/7 months. Since he is unlikely to be a regular starter at City, the move is appealing to him as he wants more regular Premier League matches.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Tottenham want to get back into the Champions League after finishing 17th in the Premier League last season, earning a European spot only after their win in the Europa League. Signing Savinho would add more attacking options to their line-up. For Manchester City, selling Savinho could help refresh their team and provide funds, especially as they aim to reclaim the Premier League title after finishing third last season.

FORM AND PERFORMANCE CONTEXT

Savinho gained a reputation for his successful season in La Liga. He showed maturity and skill despite his young age. Spurs like his ability to attack and play with the team, fitting Frank’s style well. City have many options in this position and may consider selling Savinho if Tottenham meet their valuation and terms.

WHAT NEXT?

The negotiations will revolve around the fee and possible clauses. Tottenham want clarity before the season sets in so they can quickly integrate Savinho if the move happens. Spurs’ upcoming league match will challenge Frank’s new attack, while City prepare for their own matches with squad rotation. If the deal is finalized soon, Savinho could complete medicals and be registered in time to play this month.
