Tottenham Hotspur are closing in on a £60 million-plus move for Manchester City winger Savinho after the Brazilian removed his club from his Instagram bio. The 22-year-old international’s social media update has intensified speculation about a transfer to North London, with negotiations between the two Premier League clubs reportedly progressing.
What happened?
Savinho’s Instagram bio no longer lists Manchester City, a change spotted by fan outlet Last Word On Spurs. The winger had previously shared cryptic posts hinting at a move, including a story featuring travel bags with a caption suggesting transition. Tottenham have made the explosive wide attacker a primary target as head coach Roberto De Zerbi reshapes his frontline.
Why it matters for Tottenham Hotspur
Securing Savinho would be a major statement for Tottenham, who finished 17th in the Premier League last season with 41 points (10W-11D-17L). The Brazilian’s pace and direct dribbling would add dynamism to a squad that scored 48 goals while conceding 57. With key players like James Maddison and Mohammed Kudus currently sidelined, De Zerbi needs reinforcements to bridge the 44-point gap to leaders Arsenal.
What comes next?
Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports Savinho remains at the top of Tottenham’s attacking shortlist, with an agreement expected before the window closes. Manchester City are already scouting potential replacements, indicating the deal could advance quickly. Savinho’s profile update, while not confirmation, is often seen as a sign a player is preparing for a new challenge.
