Tottenham are keen to add attacking reinforcements to their roster this summer.
Tottenham have not shied away from showing ambition this summer. The Lilywhites have backed Roberto de Zerbi in the transfer window by bringing in players to bolster the defence and midfield. There is a sense of optimism in and around N17 that the North Londoners are onto something special under the Italian tactician this season. However, there are still some improvements left to be made if the club is aiming high for the upcoming campaign.
The focus must now shift towards bringing in attacking reinforcements before the end of the transfer window. Despite outspending every other Premier League club this summer, Spurs have still not managed to bolster their attack for the upcoming campaign. There is a clear need to add a new winger as the club aims to progress under Roberto de Zerbi in the coming months. Only then will the North Londoners be able to compete at the top end of the Premier League table.
With Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert still recovering from their ACL injuries, signing a new left-winger has now become a priority. As of now, Mathys Tel is the only player who can operate from that flank under Roberto de Zerbi. So, it is important that Spurs sign someone who could easily compete with the Frenchman for a spot in the starting eleven while adding a different dynamic in the final third of the pitch.
Tottenham on the verge of landing Manchester City star Savinho
Tottenham fans have grown tired of seeing their club try so hard to land a new attacker this summer. Despite addressing most of the glaring issues in the squad during the first half of the transfer window, there is still an urgent need to rectify the problems up front as Roberto de Zerbi aims to kickstart a new era at N17. The Lilywhites are hoping to land a new winger and a new striker before the transfer window shuts in the coming weeks.
It is common knowledge now that Spurs are linked with a move for Manchester City star Savinho. The Lilywhites have held a long-term interest in the player, who has not enjoyed regular game time at the Etihad Stadium. As a result, the Brazilian is keen on a move to N17 as he aims to reignite his career this season. A recent report also states that the North Londoners might have to pay over £70m for the 22-year-old, with the player having spoken to Roberto de Zerbi more than once.

Now, however, there is a positive update on the transfer saga involving the talented winger. As per club insider Szyexcl (via X),
“This situation is coming to an end next week. It will be in favour of Spurs. An agreement is getting closer. Fee believed to be worth up to £70M. Roberto de Zerbi wants Savinho for opener vs Brentford.”
The sooner the deal goes through for Savinho, the better it will be for all parties involved. The Brazilian was involved in Manchester City’s pre-season games under Enzo Maresca in recent weeks. And it is fair to say that he performed well, showcasing his sharpness in the final third of the pitch. This could be good for Spurs as the 22-year-old will be all set to make an instant impact at N17 without needing to take time to settle in and improve his match sharpness.
Will we see Savinho don the Lilywhite jersey before the season opener against Brentford? Only time will tell.
