Tottenham Hotspur target Savinho and Marco Palestra in summer transfer push
Tottenham Hotspur have re‑opened talks to sign Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City, a move the club missed out on last summer. Reports say City are now willing to negotiate and Spurs may need to spend around £50 million. The club, under Roberto De Zerbi, is seeking a versatile left‑footed attacker to replace the loss of Heung‑Min Son and to cover injuries to right‑wing options Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski. Savinho’s high dribble success rate (95.9 %) and expected assists (6.1) are seen as fitting Tottenham’s traditional attacking style.
In addition, Tottenham are monitoring Atalanta full‑back Marco Palestra, a 21‑year‑old who impressed on loan at Cagliari with a goal and four assists. Atalanta have set a €50 million price tag; other clubs such as Liverpool, Newcastle United and Inter Milan are also interested. Spurs, looking to improve a defence that conceded 57 goals last season, view Palestra as a potential long‑term replacement for right‑back Pedro Porro.
