Tottenham Near Agreement to Sign Savinho, Eyeing Attack Revamp
Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to securing another major signing this summer. The club has agreed personal terms with Savinho, a winger from Manchester City, who has drawn comparisons to Barcelona's Lamine Yamal for his playing style.
Summer Transfer Moves So Far
The North London club has already made waves by breaking their transfer record twice this summer. They landed midfield stars Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, both in record deals, strengthening their core. Defensively, they’ve added Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka.
Now, Tottenham’s focus shifts to bolstering their attack. A new left-winger and a centre-forward are priorities, especially with uncertainty lingering around Richarlison's future at the club.
Targets and Transfer Battles
Earlier in the window, Morgan Rogers was reportedly Spurs' top target, but his move seemed destined for Arsenal. That changed dramatically when Chelsea swooped in with a £117 million offer for the England international, shifting Tottenham’s attention elsewhere.
Agreement on Savinho
Reports suggest Tottenham and Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement on a deal worth about £65 million for Savinho. The 22-year-old Brazilian winger is eager to join Spurs, with personal terms already settled. This isn’t the first time Tottenham have pursued Savinho; they tried to sign him a year ago when Thomas Frank managed the club.
Pep Guardiola has often praised Savinho, and football pundit Paul Merson has likened his style to that of Lamine Yamal, highlighting the player's potential impact at Tottenham.
Additional Targets: Eli Junior Kroupi
Even if the Savinho deal goes through, Tottenham are eyeing Eli Junior Kroupi from AFC Bournemouth as well. Despite Arsenal also showing interest, Bournemouth remain reluctant to sell after Kroupi’s breakthrough season where he scored 13 Premier League goals, helping the club reach European competition for the first time.
The 20-year-old forward is attracting attention from many top European teams, but his high price tag and Bournemouth’s stance make any transfer a challenge.
