Tottenham Hotspur have submitted a €70m (£60m) bid for Manchester City winger Savinho, according to reports emerging from Italy.
ENIC’s formal offer signals that the north London club are serious about landing the Brazilian attacker this summer transfer window.
The move comes as Roberto De Zerbi looks to address a forward line that significantly underperformed throughout the 2025/26 Premier League season.
Richarlison was the only attacking player to emerge with genuine credit, finishing as the club’s top scorer with 11 league goals across the campaign.
Defenders Cesc Palhinha, Cristian Romero, and Micky van de Ven each managed four or five goals respectively, which paints a damning picture of Spurs’ attacking output last season.
Mathys Tel, signed from Bayern Munich with high hopes, managed only four league goals and has struggled to nail down a regular starting role over the past 18 months.
Dominic Solanke has now accumulated just 12 league goals across two seasons at the club, a deeply underwhelming return for a striker expected to lead the line.
On-loan forward Randal Kolo Muani did little to improve matters either, scoring just one league goal before returning to Paris Saint-Germain at the end of his temporary spell.
Mohammed Kudus, who arrived in 2025 and made a bright start to life at N17, has not featured since January due to injury concerns of his own.
Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert both remain sidelined with ACL injuries, while Dejan Kulusevski has also been a long-term absentee throughout recent months.
The question now facing De Zerbi is simple: who will be the player capable of winning games on their own, in the same way Harry Kane, Gareth Bale, or Rafael van der Vaart once did?
Spurs had previously been linked with Morgan Rogers, but Chelsea ultimately beat both the Lilywhites and Arsenal to sign the 23-year-old for £117m.
Chelsea’s approach to squad building has contrasted sharply with Spurs, with the Blues investing heavily in attacking talent despite still possessing a fragile defensive unit.
De Zerbi’s Tottenham have taken the opposite route, strengthening the backline and midfield first, but the attacking department can no longer be left unaddressed heading into next season.
Savinho, currently at Manchester City, represents the kind of dynamic, creative wide player that Spurs desperately need to inject life and unpredictability into their frontline.
A £60m fee would represent a significant outlay, but given the scale of Tottenham’s attacking problems, securing a quality wide forward this summer feels like a genuine necessity rather than a luxury.
