Tottenham Hotspur are ready to splash a club-record feeto land Manchester City star Savinho
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to smash their transfer record in order to bring Savinho to north London, with TEAMtalk exclusively claiming Daniel Levy is ready to go all-in to get the deal done before the September 1st deadline.
It’s been a whirlwind few weeks in the market for Spurs. After months of chasing Morgan Gibbs-White and Eberechi Eze, both deals fell apart at the last hurdle. Gibbs-White signed a new contract at Nottingham Forest following a messy legal dispute, while Arsenal hijacked the Eze deal at the eleventh hour despite Spurs having an agreement in principle with Crystal Palace.
Yet Tottenham are not sulking. Under Thomas Frank, Spurs have started the season with back-to-back wins over Burnley and Manchester City, proving this squad has the fight, but also showing why further reinforcements are non-negotiable with Heung-Min Son gone and James Maddison sidelined.

Having missed out on Eze, Tottenham now are moving to land Savinho.
Savinho the dream signing
Step forward Savinho. Pep Guardiola himself has described the 21-year-old as “extraordinary,” and Spurs believe he is the perfect fit for Frank’s high-octane system. The Brazilian has been eager to secure more consistent playing time ahead of next summer’s World Cup, and sources suggest he is actively pushing for the move to N17.
A £40m opening bid was dismissed earlier this month, but Tottenham are now preparing an improved offer worth around €85m including bonuses (£73.6m). That figure would obliterate the club’s current record signing of £65m for Dominic Solanke last summer.
Levy’s statement of intent

Daniel Levy should hand Thomas Frank the tools he needs.
Daniel Levy has been criticised in the past for hesitancy in the market, but this is different. Spurs are determined to deliver Frank the weapons he needs to sustain a Champions League campaign and compete domestically. With Mohammed Kudus already looking like a bargain at £55m and Joao Palhinha impressing on loan, Levy is showing a clear willingness to back his new manager with serious investment.
Savinho would represent not only a marquee arrival but also a statement to Spurs fans and the rest of the Premier League: Tottenham mean business. His pace, creativity, and directness would immediately plug the gaps left by Maddison and Son, and elevate Frank’s attacking options to another level.
Tottenham fans have been crying out for ambition in the transfer market, and it seems Levy is ready to answer. If Spurs can land Savinho, it won’t just be about breaking records, it will be about laying down a marker. With Champions League football back at N17 and the squad already showing signs of promise, adding an “extraordinary” Brazilian winger could be the catalyst for something very special this season.
