Tottenham are in advanced talks to sign the Brazil international, but Man City are understood to have rejected a £60million offer for his services.

Former Spurs scout Mick Brown told Football Insider Savinho wants to join Tottenham after spending just one season at the Etihad Stadium.

The 21-year-old joined Pep Guardiola’s side in a £30.8million deal from French club Troyes last summer. 

Savinho, who missed Man City’s opening-day victory over Wolves through injury, registered three goals and 13 assists in 48 appearances last season.

This article contains exclusive comment from Stefan Borson, a former financial adviser to Man City.

He’s a player who played a lot of football last season and has a lot of qualities, but I think certainly his shooting was very poor.

“His finishing was very poor, but I think he did have the most assists of any City player last season.

“He’s got great potential, but it’s a massive fee for a player who flattered to deceive for a lot of last season and apparently most importantly wants to go.”

In terms of a potential incoming at the Etihad, Football Insider revealed on 11 August Man City are interested in Lucas Paqueta alongside Saudi Pro League and Brazilian sides. 

It is believed clubs in the Middle East are currently ahead of Guardiola’s side in the race to sign the Brazil international and are now lining up offers.
