In a recent report, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are close to recruiting Manchester City winger Savinho this summer. It has been stated that Spurs are inching closer to acquiring the services of the Brazilian talent this off-season.

Savinho’s Lack Of Game Time At Man City

Savinho struggled to earn a regular first-team spot at the Mancunian club but managed to catch the eye at times for them in the final third. The 22-year-old scored four times and earned three assists in 36 matches for Man City last season on all fronts.

The Brazilian talent is currently one of the most talented wide players in the Premier League. Hence, Spurs would do well to lure him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium later this year.

His current contract at the Mancunian club will expire in the summer of 2031, which could make it tough for the North London giants to sign him on a cut-price deal this off-season.

Will Savinho Be A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Roberto De Zerbi?

Savinho is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and can make a few driving runs with it out in the wide areas. He has got the vision to create some inviting chances for his teammates in the final third and can shoot the ball with power from long range.

The Brazilian wide player can contribute by scoring and creating a handful of important goals for his team in the final third. Savinho is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also operate as a right-winger or play in the number ten position if asked to do so. He is already quite experienced in the Premier League and won’t take much time to adjust to life at Tottenham if they manage to get him on board later this year.

We can expect Savinho to enhance the quality of Spurs boss Roberto De Zerbi’s frontline. He has what it takes to fight for a regular first-team spot at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next season.

At 22, Savinho has got the potential to be a world-class player in his position someday. Hence, he would be a good choice for De Zerbi to consider in this transfer window.
