Tottenham Hotspur are approaching the completion of a £65 million transfer for Manchester City winger Savinho, marking another major move in their ambitious summer overhaul. The Brazilian attacker has been on Spurs' radar for an extended period, as the club continues to demonstrate strong financial backing for manager Roberto De Zerbi following a disappointing campaign.

Spurs close to sealing Savinho deal

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Tottenham are on the verge of finalising the £65 million signing of Savinho from Manchester City. The 22-year-old Brazil international has been monitored by the north London side since last summer, though a transfer did not come to fruition at that time. Now, all signs indicate that Savinho is set to make the move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

This deal is part of a larger recruitment drive under De Zerbi’s leadership. Tottenham have already spent over £200 million during the current transfer window and remain open to further signings before the window closes, as the Italian manager seeks to strengthen his squad across all areas.

Savinho’s City struggle and Spurs’ belief

Despite enduring a challenging season at City — registering just one Premier League goal across 24 appearances — Tottenham believe Savinho possesses the potential to become a vital component of De Zerbi’s attacking plans. The club views him as a player capable of providing width, pace, and creativity in the final third.

Social media hint sparks rumours

Speculation about Savinho’s future intensified when he shared a post on Instagram featuring a suitcase and the caption suggesting he was “off to have some fun.” The cryptic message fuelled speculation among fans that he was preparing to depart Manchester.

Manchester City are reportedly assessing potential replacements, with Paris Saint-Germain prospect Ibrahim Mbaye among the names under consideration. Tottenham, Aston Villa, and RB Leipzig are also said to be monitoring the 18-year-old talent.

De Zerbi continues to rebuild Tottenham’s attack

Savinho’s impending arrival aligns with De Zerbi’s broader vision to revitalise Tottenham’s attack following their 17th-place finish last season. The Italian coach aims to enhance both the quality and depth of his forward options as part of an overall rebuild. De Zerbi has also spoken with Mathys Tel to reaffirm his role in the club’s long-term plans. As reported by Football London, the manager assured the 21-year-old that he remains a significant part of Tottenham’s strategy for the 2026–27 campaign, even as the club pursues additional attacking reinforcements.

Further additions possible

Savinho may not be the final offensive acquisition for Tottenham this summer. Reports suggest that De Zerbi still intends to recruit at least two more forwards to boost competition and tactical versatility in attack.

Should the Savinho deal be finalised, Tottenham’s total expenditure for this transfer window could surpass £300 million. The club has already secured the signatures of Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, and Jan Paul van Hecke as part of their aggressive recruitment drive.
