Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on the signing of Manchester City winger Savinho, with a deal reported to be on the verge of completion.

The North London club has endured back-to-back 17th-placed finishes and is determined to mount a serious rebuild under newly appointed manager Roberto De Zerbi.

Savinho has emerged as the absolute priority for Spurs in the summer transfer window, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reporting that the deal is near completion.

Reliable Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has now shed light on the financial details surrounding the proposed transfer of the 22-year-old Brazilian international.

Responding to a fan’s question on X about the expected cost of the operation, O’Keefe wrote: “Probably will end up close to 55m maybe 60 (pounds).”

A fee in the region of £55 million to £60 million would represent one of the largest investments in Tottenham’s recent history, approaching the club-record amount paid for Dominic Solanke in 2024.

Manchester City appear willing to cash in on Savinho following what was a frustrating campaign for the winger at the Etihad Stadium.

The Brazilian found his playing time restricted under Pep Guardiola following the arrival of Antoine Semenyo, and is now actively seeking regular first-team football to fulfil his undeniable potential.

Savinho first announced himself to European football during a breathtaking spell with Girona in La Liga, and his profile appears perfectly suited to the high-energy style De Zerbi is known for deploying.

Tottenham have already made early moves in the transfer market, securing Andy Robertson on a free transfer while a deal for Marcos Senesi has also been confirmed.

The pursuit of Savinho signals that the Spurs board is fully committed to backing De Zerbi with the quality of signings needed to challenge further up the Premier League table.

Landing a player of Savinho’s calibre and age would send a clear message to rivals that Tottenham are serious about reversing their recent fortunes under fresh leadership.

De Zerbi will be hoping that the combination of established experience and dynamic attacking talent can form the foundation of a complete squad overhaul at the club.

If the Savinho deal is finalised as expected, it will stand as the most emphatic statement yet that Tottenham intend to make a dramatic step forward in the coming season.
