Tottenham’s latest stance on Savinho revealed after failed summer move

1 hour ago 22

Tottenham Hotspur were ready to spend big on Savinho in the summer, and a new report has revealed whether we can expect the Lilywhites to go back in for the Manchester City star in January.

Tottenham tried until the final days of the summer window to land Savinho, but in the end, they were unable to get a deal for the Man City star over the line.

According to reports, Savinho was keen on joining Spurs, but Pep Guardiola’s men refused to sanction an exit for the Brazilian.

After missing out on the 21-year-old, Tottenham secured Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain in a deadline day deal, but it turns out that they are continuing to keep an eye on the City star.

Tottenham could test Man City’s resolve to keep Savinho in January

Journalist Dean Jones has said that Tottenham’s interest in the former Girona man has not gone away despite their failed summer move.

He pointed out that the winger has not been playing much despite Guardiola’s insistence on keeping him, and he backed the Lilywhites to reignite their interest in the attacker in January.

Jones told TEAMtalk: “Spurs are still keeping an eye on Savinho, knowing that he wanted the move in the summer. His minutes recently are not very convincing at City. Guardiola told him he wants him to stay, but Savinho needs to see how he fits in.

“The next couple of matches should bring more game time for him and will be a better chance to assess where he is at – but it is the case that Tottenham would revisit in January if they saw the chance to do so.”
