Tottenham Close to Signing Savinho, Eyes on Junior Kroupi for Attack Reinforcement

Tottenham Near Agreement to Sign Savinho

Tottenham Hotspur are edging closer to securing a new attacking talent this summer, having agreed personal terms with Savinho, a winger from Manchester City. The 22-year-old Brazilian, known for his playing style similar to Lamine Yamal, is reportedly keen on the move and ready to join the North London club.

The Spurs have been busy in the transfer market, breaking their club record twice to sign midfielders like Mateus Fernandes and Sandro Tonali. Their defensive line has also seen reinforcements including Andy Robertson, Marcos Senesi, Jan Paul van Hecke, and Martin Dubravka.

With doubts over Richarlison's future, Tottenham are prioritizing a left-winger and a centre-forward this summer. Initially, they aimed for Morgan Rogers but lost ground after Chelsea agreed a £117 million deal to take him from Aston Villa. This shifted their focus firmly onto Savinho.

Details on Savinho’s Move

Sources say Spurs and Manchester City have reached a verbal agreement, valuing the deal at around £65 million. Tottenham had previously tried to sign Savinho when Thomas Frank was managing the club, which shows long-term interest in the player. Pep Guardiola has praised Savinho’s abilities, and pundit Paul Merson compared his style to that of Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, highlighting his potential impact.

Competition for Junior Kroupi Intensifies

Even as Tottenham work on bringing Savinho to the squad, they have set sights on another young prospect, Eli Junior Kroupi from AFC Bournemouth. The 20-year-old forward impressed last season with 13 Premier League goals, helping Bournemouth reach European competition for the first time.

Arsenal are also interested in Kroupi, especially after their failed attempt to sign Morgan Rogers due to Chelsea's intervention. The price for Kroupi is expected to be steep as Bournemouth want to keep their rising star, making it uncertain whether Spurs or Arsenal can meet the club’s valuation.
