Tottenham Hotspur are in an cordial negotiation to snap up Brazilian winger Savinho of Manchester City in a proposed likely transfer worth about 50 million Euros. The 21 year old, who is a product of Pep Guardiola squad in the 2024/25 season, is referred to as one of the most promising young offensive stars in football.
Savinho (real name Savio Moreira de Oliveira) came into the ranks of Manchester City in 2022 and is still growing in the structure of the City Football Group. He was included in the first-team of Guardiola this season and he played in the Premier League, as well as the European games.
Competition in obtaining playing time at City has limited his game time, but Savinho has shone with pace, dribble and scoring opportunities. His displays have already drawn the interest of some of the best clubs and Tottenham Hotspur now top the list of clubs desiring his signature.
The vision of Thomas Frank on Spurs
Thomas Frank has been on a mission to develop a team with both tactical discipline and attacking style to be able to challenge in major honours since his arrival at Tottenham. The reasons to go after Savinho highlight that Frank wants to infuse his youthful vim and vigor into his team.
Should he sign, Savinho may provide Spurs with a direct, unpredictable threat in attack down either side, someone able to fill the holes in a squad that currently lives and dies by the likes of Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson. His elasticity also serves as his great attribute that can be used by Frank in such a flexible tactic.
The depth of Manchester City in the attacking positions facilitates the fact that Guardiola has a number of options whom he could deploy ahead of Savinho who are of world-class standards. The club value the Brazilian and would consider letting him leave should the right bid come in especially with Tottenham ready to pay a big transfer fee.
His pace, creativity and footballing skill-set could transfer a new dimension of the Tottenham forward game. By signing him, the club would also want to announce that it wants to spend on the players who can be used in the short terms and develop as future assets.
When and in case the transfer will be finalized, it could turn out to be one of the most outstanding deals of the summer, leaving Tottenham fans full of certain hopes about the upcoming 2025/26 season.
