Tottenham now confident they can get closer to Manchester City on Savinho’s price | OneFootball

There is now renewed confidence that Tottenham Hotspur can get closer to Manchester City on Savinho’s price, according to the Independent journalist Miguel Delaney.

He claimed in his ‘Inside Football’ bi-weekly newsletter today that the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium club held fresh rounds of talks on Saturday over signing the 21-year-old Brazilian.

However, Spurs are no longer pursuing a deal for Como attacker Nico Paz despite advanced negotiations.

The Argentine wants to remain at the Serie A club, with some claiming he is eyeing a return to Real Madrid someday.

Aston Villa attacker Morgan Rogers remains on the radar of Tottenham, but they are still working out whether they can offer a bid tempting enough to the Midlands club.

Spurs have seen a couple of attempts to sign big-name players end in disappointment this summer and are taking their time before launching another concrete move.

They have missed out on England international attacking duo Eberechi Eze and Morgan Gibbs-White, and Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie reportedly wants to join Arsenal instead of Tottenham.

The North London club had started talks with the Bundesliga club over a loan deal with an obligation to buy the Ecuador international for €60 million.

However, the Gunners also want to sign the 23-year-old and he is open to joining them ahead of other suitors.

Spurs will not hesitate to look elsewhere for defensive reinforcements and will also hope a deal with Man City for Savinho can be struck.

The Etihad Stadium club want £60m for the Brazilian attacker, and Tottenham could now be ready to pay close to that to bring him to North London.

Strengthening their attack with such a player could be huge following an impressive start to the new season, and Spurs fans will be praying it happens.

Savinho will provide them with much-needed squad depth and quality in the final third, and they could establish themselves as credible challengers across all competitions.
