Spurs want Savinho and MCFC have now started looking at wingers, but only in case of good opportunities.”Will Savinho improve Roberto De Zerbi’s starting eleven?Not all supporters are convinced that the Man City man is who Spurs need, with some Tottenham fans calling for the club to sign Jarrod Bowen instead of Savinho.Some sources have claimed that City could demand as much as £75m–£80m for the Spurs target, which would make him comfortably the Lilywhites’ record signing.At that kind of price, it is hard to see too much value in the deal for Spurs, given that Savinho scored just once and provided two assists in the Premier League in 2025-26.READ MORE: German transfer expert reveals Tottenham are close to second summer dealThe post Fabrizio Romano provides big update on Tottenham’s £70m Savinho pursuit appeared first on Spurs Web.
