Tottenham have significantly stepped up their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, with new head coach Roberto De Zerbi personally endorsing the ambitious move.
Spurs are prepared to back their new Italian manager heavily in the transfer market following a turbulent season for the north London club.
The club’s primary aim this summer is to completely revitalise an underperforming attacking unit ahead of the new campaign under De Zerbi’s possession-based system.
Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has brought the club’s active interest to light, responding directly to supporters on X regarding Spurs’ ongoing summer transfer strategy.
O’Keefe confirmed that talks between Tottenham and Manchester City are currently active and progressing behind the scenes, describing them as “ongoing efforts / talks.”
When supporters pressed O’Keefe on whether Savinho was a target personally desired by the new manager, the insider responded with a definitive “yeah,” confirming De Zerbi has greenlit the deal.
O’Keefe was also asked to gauge who the club was more likely to land between West Ham’s Crysencio Summerville and the Brazilian international this summer.
The insider gave an exciting update for the Spurs faithful, stating clearly that “all focus is on Savinho at moment,” suggesting Summerville is not the priority right now.
The 22-year-old forward arrived at the Etihad with considerable pedigree following a spectacular spell at Girona, but has since fallen down the pecking order at City following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo.
Despite a frustrating initial adjustment period in the Premier League, Savinho’s raw profile makes him a highly attractive prospect for De Zerbi’s high-octane system.
Renowned for his electric pace, flair, and elite one-versus-one dribbling ability, the Brazilian thrives when isolated against full-backs out wide, a tactical staple of De Zerbi’s previous success at Brighton and Marseille.
Manchester City are believed to be holding out for a premium fee to part with the young winger, but with De Zerbi giving the board his enthusiastic blessing, Tottenham appear ready to push forward with a serious offer.
