Savinho: Tottenham reopen transfer talks to sign out-of-favour Man City star | OneFootball

Winger brushed with move to N17 last summer but deal never came to be

Savinho has struggled for playing time since the January signing of Antoine Semenyo

It was no great surprise, then, to see him left out of Brazil’s squad for this summer’s World Cup, with Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr, Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli and a 34-year-old Neymar among the wingers preferred.

And Savinho may now look to greener pastures as he tumbles down the Man City hierarchy. The expected appointment of Enzo Maresca as the club’s new manager provides a further unknown.

Considerable player turnover is expected at Tottenham this summer after the club remained under threat of relegation until the final day of the season.

Speaking after Spurs edged Everton at the weekend to secure their top-flight status, Roberto De Zerbi said he only considered 12 members of his squad good enough to stay next season.

Non-executive chairman Peter Charrington has also promised to “invest across multiple transfer windows to rebuild, balance and strengthen” Tottenham’s squad.

Of course, no deal can be formalised until the transfer window opens on June 15. It will remain open until 11pm on September 1.
