Tottenham Near Deal for Savinho After Agreeing Personal Terms
Tottenham Hotspur are nearing an agreement to sign a player likened to Lamine Yamal as they continue their busy summer in the transfer market.
The club has already made waves this summer by breaking their transfer record twice to secure Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali, reshaping their midfield. They have also strengthened their defense with new additions like Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka.
Now, Tottenham want to bolster their attack, prioritizing a new left-winger and a centre-forward amid uncertainty surrounding Richarlison's future at the club.
Target Shift After Chelsea's Surprise Move
Initially, Tottenham considered Morgan Rogers their prime target, though it seemed he was heading to Arsenal. But Chelsea disrupted that by agreeing a £117m deal for Rogers from Aston Villa. Tottenham then turned their attention elsewhere.
Personal Terms Agreed With Manchester City's Savinho
Savinho, the winger from Manchester City, has emerged as Tottenham's preferred choice. Reports say Spurs and City have a verbal agreement for a transfer around £65m. The player is reportedly enthusiastic about joining Tottenham, and personal terms are reportedly already settled.
This follows Tottenham's attempt to sign the 22-year-old last year when Thomas Frank was still managing the team. Pep Guardiola has praised Savinho before, and Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson compared his style to that of Barcelona star Lamine Yamal.
Interest in Junior Kroupi Remains Despite Savinho Pursuit
Even if Tottenham completes the signing of Savinho, they are said to be keeping tabs on Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi. Arsenal is also interested in Kroupi after missing out on Morgan Rogers due to Chelsea's intervention.
Kroupi, 20, impressed in his breakthrough Premier League season with 13 league goals, helping Bournemouth qualify for European competition for the first time ever. The club is reluctant to sell, and his price is expected to be high. Whether Tottenham or Arsenal can meet Bournemouth's demands remains uncertain.
