Tottenham's pursuit of Savinho has moved back into focus after Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca confirmed the winger missed training through illness, with Spurs still working on a deal for one of their leading attacking targets. According to Standard, the Brazil international remains firmly on Tottenham's radar as they try to sharpen Roberto De Zerbi's frontline before the window closes on September 1.
Maresca addressed Savinho's absence before the Community Shield meeting with ***** nal and said, "Yesterday he was not part of the session," before adding, "He was a bit ill." The City boss then made clear a final call was still to come, saying, "We'll see today, the session is in the afternoon, we'll see how it is and we'll decide."
Those comments arrive at a time when Tottenham are understood to be advancing their thinking around a possible move. Savinho has been described as a priority option for much of the summer, and the wider context makes the situation especially notable. The 22-year-old is reported to want more regular first-team football after starting only seven Premier League matches last season and scoring once.
There has also been fresh reporting that Savinho has reiterated his wish to leave the Etihad and join Spurs. Any deal would still be expensive, with City said to want around £65 million for a player they signed from Troyes for £30m in 2024. That valuation is significant, though Tottenham have already shown major ambition in this market.
