Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to submit a formal £68m offer to Manchester City for winger Savinho, according to journalist Nicolo Schira.

The 22-year-old Brazilian has been identified as a priority attacking target for Spurs this summer as they look to significantly strengthen their forward options.

Savinho managed only 14 starts across all competitions last season, with just seven of those appearances coming in the Premier League, raising serious doubts about his long-term future at the Etihad.

Tottenham have already been busy in the current transfer window, adding reinforcements in defence and midfield after finishing a deeply disappointing campaign despite placing inside the top 17.

Their attack remains a clear area of concern, with the club netting just 48 league goals last season, underlining the urgent need for more firepower out wide.

Spurs attempted to sign Savinho during the previous summer window, but City rejected a series of bids and the Brazilian subsequently chose to extend his contract at the Etihad.

Following that failed pursuit, Tottenham shifted their attention elsewhere, bringing in Randal Kolo Muani on loan from Paris Saint-Germain and securing a deadline-day move for Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

In an encouraging development for Spurs, Schira reports that Savinho has indicated his availability to join Roberto De Zerbi’s side on a five-year contract with the option of a further year.

Injuries to Wilson Odobert and Mohammed Kudus have badly disrupted Tottenham’s options on the right wing, while Dejan Kulusevski’s prolonged absences through injury have further exposed the squad’s attacking depth.

The departure of Brennan Johnson in January added yet another layer of difficulty, leaving the club short of reliable, direct wide options ahead of next season.

Savinho’s profile as a pacey, direct, and goal-threatening winger makes him an attractive option to bolster De Zerbi’s attacking setup at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs will be hoping City are more receptive to their £68m proposal this time around, having seen multiple offers rebuffed by the Premier League club just twelve months ago.
