Spurs to have one more go at Savinho after Eze snub

Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with interest in Manchester City’s Savinho throughout the summer. The links went quiet for a while as the North Londoners turned their attention to Crystal Palace star Eberechi Eze, but having suffered a painful defeat to neighbours Arsenal on that front, they’re reportedly ready to go back in for Savinho now.

According to Fabrizio Romano, Spurs have made several attempts to open negotiations with City over the Brazilian winger, but they’re advances were quickly rejected, with Pep Guardiola keen to retain Savinho’s services for the 2025/26 season. However, Spurs will make one last effort before the transfer window ends, and they’ve prepared an official offer worth over €70million for the 21-year-old. Whether that proves enough for City to change their stance remains to be seen.

One thing is certain: with James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski out with long term injuries, and Eze gone to Arsenal, Spurs boss Thomas Frank desperately needs a creative outlet in his attacking ranks.

🚨⚪️ Understand Tottenham are now prepared to improve their bid for Savinho over €70m, after the game this weekend.

Manchester City hierarchy blocked all approaches in the last 10 days but Spurs will give it one more try.
