Tottenham Push for Double Swoop: Savinho and Eze Talks Continue

Tottenham are trying to sign Savinho and Eberechi Eze. They want to bring in two attackers before the transfer window closes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Tottenham are in talks with Manchester City for Savinho and with Crystal Palace for Eze. They want more speed and creativity in attack, as evidenced by their interest in Savinho, who has been highlighted as a critical target for this reason. Reports indicate that City do not want to sell Savinho after a good debut season and they might ask for more than £50m if he wants to leave. Eze is also on Tottenham’s list. His contract has a high release clause, which has been a topic in recent transfer windows. Tottenham view Eberechi Eze as a key target following injuries to Maddison and the departure of Son.

WHY TOTTENHAM WANT THEM

Tottenham want two new attackers to give new coach Thomas Frank more choices in attack. Savinho, 21, played 48 times for City last season. He scored three goals and is a good dribbler. Before playing for City, he scored nine goals with Girona in the 2023-24 season. Eze, 27, has shown good skills in the Premier League. He is good at one-on-one situations. But Palace value him highly. Tottenham are trying to get at least one big-name forward, and they would like to get two.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Tottenham are back in the Champions League and want more players for a busy schedule. City started the season aiming for the title after finishing 3rd last season. They want to keep their title. Palace want to stay in the middle of the league table. They have sold some important players in recent summers. If Savinho leaves, City might look for new players again. They have already added Rayan Cherki to their squad. Palace would ask for a high fee for Eze because he is important to the team and has time left on his contract.

FORM AND STANDINGS CHECK

Tottenham started the Premier League season aiming for a top-four finish after returning to European competitions last year, particularly critical as they look to adjust following Maddison’s serious knee injury. City began the season as one of the early frontrunners after failing to win any title last season. Palace are targeting mid-table safety. They had solid defensive stats last season. Savinho got more playing time under Guardiola. Eze led Palace in creating chances and moving the ball forward. He is crucial to Oliver Glasner’s plans as showcased in Palace’s Community Shield and FA Cup wins.

WHAT NEXT?

Tottenham have important matches coming up. They need to play league games and have an early Champions League group match. They are trying to finalize at least one signing before their next game. They still lack players on the wing. City’s position on Savinho may require him to push harder to leave. Meanwhile, Palace expects strong demands for Eze. Tottenham need to manage fees and timing as other teams also look to make late transfers.
