Tottenham Hotspur have money to spend under new manager Thomas Frank after selling captain Son Heung-min, and some of it could go towards a raid on Manchester City
Manchester City's busy summer could leave Savinho as the odd man out, and Tottenham Hotspur may be ready to pounce. The Brazilian winger only joined City last summer, but could see his time at the Etihad Stadium come to an early end.
Savinho, 21, scored one league goal in 29 outings last term - eight of those appearances coming from the bench. He was also on target against Club Brugge in the Champions League and in the 5-2 Club World Cup group stage win against Juventus.
Pep Guardiola's side have been busy in the transfer market since missing out on silverware last season. Rayan Cherki is the most likely to take game time from Savinho, while the arrival of Tijjani Reinders and return of Rodri could allow Guardiola to change things up with his formation.
Jack Grealish already appears to be suffering from the competition for places, with a move for the £100m man anticipated. According to reports on the continent, though, Spurs may yet take advantage of the situation to bring Savinho to North London.
Spurs have already strengthened in the final third this window, with new boss Thomas Frank overseeing a £55million move for Mohammed Kudus. James Maddison's ACL injury means more depth could be needed, though, and Savinho would reportedly be open to joining the club.
It appears a lot has changed since January, when Guardiola praised Savino for the spark he provided in the must-win game against Brugge. "He was unbelievable," the manager said of the Brazilian after City came from behind to beat the Belgian side..
"He changed the game and after five or ten minutes had won two or three corners. Our crowd reacted and we had the chances."
Spurs have strengthened with the signing of Kudus from West Ham and a permanent deal for Mathys Tel, who joins after a spell on loan from Bayern Munich. Maddison will be a big loss, though, with the former Leicester star set to miss the bulk of the season after knee surgery.
“I think it’s disappointing but also devastating for me and mainly for Madders that he’s out of the team,” Frank said. “We will miss him and no doubt he will miss playing football.”
Kevin Danso joined Tel in completing a permanent move after a successful loan, with Kota Takai and Luka Vuskovic among the other new arrivals. Joao Palhinha has also joined on loan from Bayern, while captain Son Heung-min is the highest-profile star to leave North London after completing a move to Los Angeles FC.
Spurs will begin their Premier League campaign on Saturday, hosting newly promoted Burnley. They are also back in the Champions League this season thanks to their victory in the Europa League final back in May.

savio should go because he's too slow in releasing the ball. doesn't complete passes in the final 3rd and loses the ball without any pressure
