Tottenham Hotspur pursue Brazilian forward Savinho as spending spree continues
Tottenham Hotspur have reached an agreement with Manchester City for Brazilian winger Savinho, with reports suggesting a fee of about £45 million. Manager Roberto De Zerbi has warned that any player who is not happy at the club must leave, emphasizing the need for motivation and pride.
The club has already spent over £237 million this summer, signing Sandro Tonali for roughly £100 million, Mateus Fernandes for about £85 million, and adding Jan Paul van Hecke, Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi. Tottenham are also tracking other targets, including Norway winger Antonio Nusa (valued at £51 million) and PSG teenager Ibrahim Mbaye, who is reportedly priced at €50 million.
In New Zealand, Spurs opened their preseason tour with a 2‑0 win over Auckland FC, with Dane Scarlett and Richarlison scoring. Young players such as Archie Gray captained the side, while regulars Cristian Romero, James Maddison and Destiny Udogie missed the match through injury or holiday. The club’s transfer activity, managerial statements and preseason performances underline a determined push to rebuild the squad for the 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
