Football Insider exclusively revealed Savinho wants to join Spurs and that talks with Manchester City are advancing with a possible transfer on the table.

As reported by BBC Sport [12 August] Frank has options in the wide areas and signing Savinho would add to that.

The Brazilian was mostly deployed on the right wing at Man City, whilst the 21-year-old played predominantly on the left at his former club Girona.

Kudus was expected to slot into Franks’ starting XI on the right flank, but if Savinho joins the 25-year-old may fill in for Maddison and Kulusevski in the number 10 role.

Football Insider Verdict

The injuries to Maddison and Kulusevski does leave Frank with a creative problem behind the striker in his side.

Against Bayern Munich in pre-season, Kudus’ data in a friendly with Bayern Munich was a concern for Spurs, and he will have to improve his duel success rate and defensive attributes.

Potential new signing Savinho has only been in the Premier League for one season and his goal scoring capabilities already leave a lot to be desired.

The Brazilian though is creative and he could be a signing for the long-term to replace the departed Son Heung-min.
