Tottenham Hotspur can land Arsenal a direct blow if they sign Manchester City star Savinho
Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal share a historic and intense rivalry, which is pretty evident the two sides take on the field against one another. However, as both these teams are among the biggest sides in the Premier League, this rivalry also remains on the minds of the fans of the respective teams throughout a league campaign.
Furthermore, this rivalry also manifests itself in the transfer market at times. The most recent case of this phenomenon involved the Crystal Palace forward Eberechi Eze. A few days ago, Arsenal were leading the race for his signature, but now Spurs seem to be in the pole position to land him.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are also engaged in another transfer operation that can end up facilitating Arsenal land their desired attacker. In addition to Eze, Spurs are also looking to sign the Manchester City forward Savinho. However, this operation seems to be quite difficult, and their inability to land the Brazilian can also help their hated rivals, Arsenal.
Tottenham Hotspur can land Arsenal a direct blow if they sign Manchester City star Savinho.
As per a report from Express, such a scenario could help the Gunners land Rodrygo Goes, who is facing an uncertain future at Real Madrid. In addition to Arsenal, Manchester City have also been linked with the Los Blancos star, and a recent report suggested they are preparing a big offer for him.
However, the Citizens will make a move for the Brazilian only if Savinho ends up leaving. Thus, it Spurs are unable to land Savinho, City would not make an offer for Rodrygo, and Arsenal will find it significantly easier to sign the Real Madrid forward.
Extra motivation for Spurs to sign Savinho
Savinho’s addition would definitely improve the North London team’s attacking capabilities, but this scenario would provide them with a further motivation to ensure City replae the Brazilian with Rodrygo.
However, recent reports suggest that Pep Guardiola is becoming increasingly resistant to the idea of selling Savinho with only a few days left in the transfer market, and it remains to be seen how these two inter-related operations develop and conclude.
