Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly pursuing Manchester City winger Savinho as they work towards finalising their seventh signing of the summer transfer window, following recent concerns regarding the Sandro Tonali deal. Fabrizio Romano provided updates on both situations, noting that the club remains proactive in recruiting players to avoid last season’s struggles.
Spurs narrowly escaped relegation last season, finishing just two points above the drop zone, prompting the club’s hierarchy to make real moves in the market. As confirmed by Football365, five players have already joined the squad: Andy Robertson, Martin Dubravka, and Marcos Senesi on free transfers, while Jan Paul van Hecke and Mateus Fernandes arrived in deals worth £52m and £85m, respectively.
Current State of Sandro Tonali’s Move
Tonali is poised to become Tottenham’s sixth signing, having recently undergone a medical in London. Although the paperwork is complete, fans have expressed apprehension over the lack of an official announcement. Romano stated, “Sandro Tonali’s move is done, sealed and not in doubt,” assuring supporters there is no cause for concern regarding the delay from the club’s side.
Spurs Eyeing Savinho Amid Tonali Developments
Despite the focus on Tonali, Tottenham are keen on adding Savinho from Manchester City to their ranks. Romano confirmed that the club is still actively pursuing the winger, with the timeline dependent on various factors including City’s stance and the financial aspects of the transfer. “Tottenham have not moved on from Savinho and continue to consider him an important target,” he added.
Why Savinho Interests Tottenham
The interest in Savinho underlines Tottenham’s strategy to enhance their attack for the upcoming season. With Roberto De Zerbi at the helm, the recruitment team is looking for players who can bring both skill and depth to the squad. Securing a talent like Savinho could provide much-needed creativity on the wings, complementing the other signings made thus far.
The SportiveNews view
This transfer saga hinges on two key factors: the fee Manchester City will demand for Savinho and Tottenham’s commitment to finalising the deal promptly. While the club appears undeterred despite concerns over Tonali’s announcement, the timing and negotiations with City will determine whether they can add Savinho to the squad in a timely manner.
