Tottenham Target Statement Signings with Savinho And Eberechi Eze Transfer Moves
Tottenham Hotspur’s unexpected bid for Savinho has come alongside a sustained pursuit of Eberechi Eze.
The club aims to make a bold statement in this summer’s transfer window.
Spurs reportedly reached out about both players mid last week as they trim their shortlists for the new season after Son Heung-min’s departure and James Maddison’s injury concerns.
While interest in Eze has been a long-running theme of this window, Savinho’s inclusion on the radar surprised many.
Our information is that the winger’s name entered the conversation as Spurs also assessed possibilities around Jack Grealish and James McAtee.
With uncertainty over Savinho’s exact place in Manchester City’s plans, Tottenham decided to explore the situation.
Sources suggest Savinho is intrigued by the idea of a switch to north London, viewing it as a chance to become a central figure in the Premier League.
The scenario mirrors Julian Alvarez’s surprising move to Atletico Madrid last year. At Manchester City, Savinho is uncertain about his minutes or his place in Pep Guardiola’s rotation.
Tottenham’s interest is linked to offering him a clearer, more valued role.
Guardiola is understood to want to keep Savinho, but history shows there are few players he would actively prevent from leaving if their mind is set on a move.
Eze’s situation is more straightforward. Arsenal have monitored him all summer but have been hesitant, unconvinced about exactly how he would fit into their starting XI.
Spurs, by contrast, believe there is space for both Eze and Savinho in their plans, and are running the two pursuits in parallel to gauge the viability of each before committing to the significant financial demands involved.
Together, the deals could surpass £100 million, though sources say the figure is not out of reach. New manager Thomas Frank has been assured that the club is pursuing elite-level talent to push Tottenham toward the top of the Premier League and to mount a serious Champions League challenge.
The push for Eze began in earnest last week with the first contact already made.
This week is viewed as crucial in deciding whether Spurs can advance negotiations to a point where a deal becomes feasible.
