Savinho’s proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur appears to have hit a hurdle as the Lilywhites continue to work on a deal for the Manchester City star.Roberto De Zerbi has made it clear that Tottenham will add to their attack and will pursue their top targets instead of backup options over the remaining weeks of the transfer window.It has been widely reported since the start of the summer that Spurs had identified the Brazilian as their top winger target, and a deal seemed certain to go through at some point for around £65m.Savinho himself has dropped some big hints that he may be joining Tottenham, but the negotiations between the two clubs appear to have stalled for now.Photo by James Gill – Danehouse/Getty ImagesMan City development may be needed before Savinho’s sale to Tottenham Over the last few days, reports from Brazil have suggested that Tottenham and Man City do not see eye-to-eye on the winger’s valuation, which is why the negotiations have not been able to move forward.However, Ben Jacobs has now insisted that the two clubs continue to remain in discussions over Savinho, and suggested that Man City may need to sign a replacement before greenlighting the 22-year-old’s sale.The journalist said on GiveMeSport’s Market Madness podcast: “Savinho, top choice, and talks are ongoing with Man City. I sense here finances won’t be a problem, and if Man City find a replacement, the door becomes open for Savinho to depart, and that’s why Tottenham are prepared to be patient.”Spurs are not close to securing a deal for Eli Junior KroupiWhile Jacobs may have provided a positive update on the Lilywhites’ pursuit of the Man City man, he is not as confident that De Zerbi’s men can swiftly secure Eli Junior Kroupi.While the Bournemouth forward continues to be heavily linked with a move to Tottenham, the journalist suggested that any deal for the forward could drag on until the later stages of the window.Jacobs added about Spurs’ transfer plans: “They like Junior Kroupi. Bournemouth want to keep hold of him. Arsenal have looked at Junior Kroupi as well. So let’s see how that develops. But I don’t think that’s a today-tomorrow type transfer saga.”READ MORE: Ledley King makes bold prediction on where Tottenham will finish next seasonThe post Journalist believes one key factor may be holding up £65m Savinho to Tottenham appeared first on Spurs Web.
