Tottenham Eye Fresh Bid for Man City Winger Savinho in January

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing to reignite their chase for Manchester City winger Savinho when the transfer window reopens in January, according to TEAMtalk.

Spurs came close to landing the Brazilian talent in the summer, tabling multiple offers – including a £65m bid – only for City to hold firm. Despite their persistence, Pep Guardiola’s side opted to keep the South American, limiting Tottenham’s options late in the window. That led to the loan arrival of Randal Kolo Muani from Paris Saint-Germain and the deadline-day capture of Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig.

Spurs Still See Savinho as the Missing Piece

While Tottenham strengthened, Savinho remains firmly on their radar. Transfer insider Dean Jones confirmed that the 21-year-old winger still wants the move, giving Spurs a strong advantage should negotiations reopen.

City’s reluctance to sell may soften, with Savinho playing just 16 minutes of Premier League football this season. Guardiola insists he has plans for the youngster, but a lack of game time could force the Brazilian to reassess his future – especially with the 2026 FIFA World Cup on the horizon.

Why January Could Be Different

Unlike the summer, Spurs head into January in a stronger position both financially and competitively. Thomas Frank has made an impressive start at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, collecting 10 points from his opening five games, and the club is building momentum. Adding a dynamic winger like Savinho could provide the spark needed to push their campaign to the next level.

With the player’s willingness to join already clear, personal terms are unlikely to be an obstacle. If Tottenham can finally find common ground with Manchester City, this long-awaited transfer may finally become reality.
