Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly in advanced talks to secure winger Savinho, with personal terms already agreed. In addition, the north London club is eyeing Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson as they work to enhance their attacking options ahead of the new season, following a challenging campaign that saw them narrowly escape relegation last term.
Tottenham managed to secure their Premier League status with a tense 1-0 victory over Everton on the final day of last season. To avoid a similar plight in the upcoming campaign, the club has moved swiftly in the transfer market, concluding six signings thus far, including notable arrivals like Sandro Tonali and Marcos Senesi. Fabrizio Romano has reaffirmed that while there are ongoing negotiations regarding Savinho, the clubs remain apart on valuation.
Savinho’s potential move to Tottenham
Romano confirmed that Savinho has expressed his desire to move to Tottenham and hopes to reunite with head coach Roberto De Zerbi. Although a transfer request has been submitted at Manchester City and personal terms are settled, the negotiations between Tottenham and City are yet to reach a fruitful conclusion, with a considerable gap in club valuations persisting.
Cody Gakpo on Tottenham’s radar
Alongside Savinho, Tottenham’s management has shown interest in Liverpool’s Cody Gakpo as they seek to strengthen their attacking depth. Reports indicate that Gakpo is high on Tottenham’s wishlist; however, discussions with Liverpool are complex at this time. Spurs are currently gauging the Reds’ willingness to entertain a sale.
Interest in Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson
In a shift towards diversifying their forward options, Tottenham are also considering Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson, who is reportedly rated at £65 million. Though there has been no formal approach to Chelsea for Jackson, sources suggest that Tottenham’s sporting director, Johan Lange, has had interest in the 25-year-old Senegalese for some time, with admiration predating De Zerbi’s appointment.
The SportiveNews view
This situation depends largely on the stance of both Manchester City concerning Savinho and Liverpool regarding Gakpo. Tottenham’s urgency to strengthen their attacking front is clear, particularly after last season’s struggles, but success in these pursuits will rely on the ability to meet the asking prices and the players’ willingness to move to north London.
