Tottenham Hotspur were linked with Savinho during the summer transfer window, but the transfer did not go through.
Manchester City refused to let the Brazilian leave the club at the start of the season. However, he has struggled to find regular opportunities and is once again linked with a January exit.
Tottenham back for Savinho?
David Ornstein has now revealed that Tottenham could consider making a move for the Brazilian in January. They will have the resources available to improve the team next month. They need more quality and depth on the flanks, and the Brazilian striker would be ideal for them. Savinho will add pace, flair and unpredictability to the team.
The South American will be desperate to get his career back on track with regular opportunities, and Spurs would be able to provide him with that platform.
Ornstein said on the Aerial sportsBack pages Podcast: “There will be money available if the right profile comes to them, and if it improves the team in their eyes.
“They like Antoine Semenyo, for example, if not him, maybe other players in that wide attacking position, which is what they considered last summer with Savinho from Manchester City.
“It didn’t come to fruition. Maybe it will in January, and they hope that Thomas Frank can bring results over time.”
Savinho needs to move
Sitting on the Manchester City bench will not benefit Savinho, and he should look to move on. Tottenham have an ambitious project and a quality team. They could be the ideal destination for Savinho. If he manages to fulfill his potential with them, he could play for elite clubs again in the future.
It will be interesting to see if Manchester City are willing to sell the player next month.
