With only a few days left before the summer transfer window slams shut, it seems like the only person who has any clarity around Savinho’s future is the player himself.
Tottenham promised to pay £60 million for Savinho after holding talks with Manchester City on Monday.
However, as things stand, the 21-year-old is still a City player.
Savinho is keen to join Tottenham after he has been assured by the Lilywhites that he will have the freedom to express himself in Thomas Frank’s system, that could get the best out of a creative winger like him.

If Savinho ends up staying at Manchester City, it will be interesting to see whether he knuckles down and focuses on letting his feet do the talking or struggles to play his natural game due to failing to join Spurs.
Tottenham are huge fans of Savinho and believe he has the potential to go right to the top as they continue to work on a deal to sign him.

Savinho’s future is tied to Rodrygo’s at Real Madrid, with City only willing to sanction the former’s exit if they end up signing the latter.
Perhaps the uncertainty surrounding Tottenham target Savinho’s future has prompted Manchester City to take a closer look at McAidoo in action, who was pictured in close proximity to Jeremy Doku and Bernardo Silva contesting for the ball in training.

Pep Guardiola has a habit of giving young players time to bed in and even if Manchester City keep Savinho instead of selling him to Tottenham, McAidoo may take a while to become a first-team player.
However, the fact that the Englishman is already training with City’s senior team at such a young age speaks volumes of how highly he is rated behind the scenes.
