UMVA has learned that Tottenham Hotspur is reigniting its pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, with whispers of a £60 million deal swirling before the summer transfer window.
The 22‑year‑old, whose pace and flair once dazzled at Girona, has struggled to find a foothold at City under Guardiola, featuring in only seven Premier League starts last season.
After a season that saw Spurs teeter on the brink of relegation, the club’s new manager, Roberto De Zerbi, is orchestrating a sweeping rebuild, and a dynamic winger could be the missing piece.
Injuries to key wide players have left Tottenham’s flanks exposed, forcing the team to deploy squad members out of position and stunting attacking creativity.
Savinho’s ability to beat defenders in one‑on‑one battles and create chances from the wings aligns perfectly with De Zerbi’s preference for energetic, high‑tempo wide players.
With Manchester City’s attacking roster brimming and the arrival of newcomers like Antoine Semenyo, Savinho faces a crowded pathway to regular playtime.
The uncertain future under a potential new City manager could push the winger to seek a club where his talents are truly needed.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that Tottenham’s interest is not merely a gamble but a calculated move to inject youthful spark into a squad hungry for resurgence.
Should the transfer materialize, it would signal De Zerbi’s commitment to building a squad capable of challenging for top honors, while offering Savinho a platform to transform his career.
Only time will tell if the £60 million price tag is justified, but the prospect of a fresh start for the Brazilian and a new chapter for Spurs makes this story one to watch closely.
