Tottenham Eye January Swoop for Man City’s Savinho as Son Replacement Search Intensifies
Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to reignite their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho during the January transfer window, according to reports from TEAMtalk.
Spurs Return to the Market for Wing Reinforcements
The North London club’s hunt for a long-term successor to club legend Son Heung-min continues, with the Brazilian emerging as a prime target once again. Last summer’s failed attempts to secure either Savinho or Antoine Semenyo left Ange Postecoglou’s squad light in attacking areas, despite the earlier addition of Mohammed Kudus.
The landscape has shifted significantly at the Etihad Stadium. With Semenyo now reportedly heading to Manchester City himself, Pep Guardiola’s attacking roster is becoming increasingly crowded. The impending arrival of the Ghanaian would join an already stacked lineup featuring Savinho, Jeremy Doku, Omar Marmoush, Phil Foden, and Rayan Cherki.
Why Savinho Could Be Tempted by Tottenham Move
This congestion could work in Spurs’ favour. The 21-year-old has managed just nine starts across all competitions this season, contributing four goals and assists. With competition for places set to intensify further, guaranteed first-team football at Tottenham might prove irresistible.
TEAMtalk suggests that Tottenham are ready to open discussions with the player’s representatives to gauge his interest in relocating to North London. Crucially, Savinho was reportedly open to the move last summer before City blocked the transfer.
The Financial Reality
Valued at approximately £39 million by Transfermarkt, Savinho recently signed a contract extension keeping him at City until 2031. This hands Manchester City considerable leverage in negotiations, meaning Tottenham would need to table a substantial offer to prise him away.
The left-footed forward’s versatility across both flanks makes him an attractive proposition for Postecoglou’s system. While alternative targets like Kenan Yildiz, Maghnes Akliouche, and Yan Diomande remain on Spurs’ radar, Savinho represents the most realistic option as January approaches.
