Tottenham Open Formal Talks for Savinho as De Zerbi Plans Rebuild

The talks mark De Zerbi’s first concrete step toward rebuilding a misfiring attack.

Overview

  • Formal negotiations between Tottenham and Manchester City over winger Savinho began Tuesday and are at an early stage with City reportedly seeking about £60 million.
  • Insiders say manager Roberto De Zerbi has greenlit the move and that Spurs view Savinho as the priority to add pace and one‑on‑one threat to wide areas.
  • Tottenham expect to sign defensive reinforcements on free transfers, with Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson reported as near‑certainties to arrive when their contracts expire.
  • Spurs are also monitoring alternative attacking targets such as Crysencio Summerville and Santiago Gimenez as lower‑cost options if City and Tottenham cannot agree on fee or terms.
  • The recruitment drive responds to a season in which Tottenham scored 48 league goals and their main forwards managed roughly 15 between them, a shortfall that makes attacking reinforcements urgent and could force quick decisions this window.
