Looking to bolster Thomas Frank's attack, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly approached Manchester City over a deal for Savinho.
According to reports Spurs have plotted this daring raid on their Premier League rivals for the final weeks of the window. Savinho, 21, registered 16 goal involvements in 48 appearances during his debut campaign for Pep Guardiola's team.
football.london's sister site, the Manchester Evening News, say City do not necessarily wish to part ways with a player they signed for £30.8m only last summer from Troyes, who are under City Football Group ownership.
But, if the Brazilian wishes to depart then they will not stand in his way. It will take upwards of £50m as City would want to secure a healthy profit on their investment.
Spurs have witnessed long-term servant Son Heung-min call time on his spell in North London and are currently scouring the market for attacking reinforcements. Savinho could be just the start of a late-summer flurry in the transfer market.
An additional dose of South American flair could arrive in the form of Rodrygo, who has been tentatively linked with the move from Real Madrid whilst his future remains uncertain.
That uncertainty has spread from a lack of clarity over the 24-year-old's role in Xabi Alonso's squad. He started only once at the FIFA Club World Cup this summer then after returning for pre-season this month, Rodrygo was named on the bench for a behind closed doors friendly vs Leganes.
A serial trophy winner and contributor towards 119 goals in 270 matches in Spain, this player would bring a top-tier level of ability and confidence into a club refreshened from winning last season's Europa League.
A third and final signing to support the attack could be Leicester City's Bilal El Khannouss. GIVEMESPORT claim Spurs are 'keen' and will fight Leeds United for the Moroccan's signature.
The 21-year-old reportedly has a a £22.5m relegation release clause and with that activated last season, there is still potential for him to move this summer. Two assists on the opening day of the Championship season were enough to suggest he has talent in abundance, ready to be unlocked by a manager of Frank's calibre.
Yet that arrival could be put down as one for the future, with Savinho and Rodrygo the two to make the more immediate impact.
Beating Leeds to El Khannouss would serve to increase desperation for an attacking signing in the final weeks of the window. Spurs can capitalise by selling them Manor Solomon on a permanent basis.
The Israeli international was a hit amongst Elland Road supporters when he helped them get promoted during a loan spell last season. Albeit hampered by injury, he is yet to feature in pre-season for Spurs.
Finally either another loan, or at last a permanent exit, for Bryan Gil can help to reshape Spurs' attack.
They have only five days to conduct business before the Premier League season begins or exactly three weeks before the summer window slams shut. Time is running out.
Tottenham dream attack 2025/26: Dejan Kulusevski, Mohammed Kudus, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke, Mathys Tel, Richarlison, Savinho, Rodrygo, Bilal El Khannouss.
