According to reports, City could ask for up to \u00a350m, reflecting both his age and long-term potential, despite his limited starting role. The fee is significant, but Spurs may think it will be worth it for the 22-year-old winger, who has Premier League experience and significant resale value, if he delivers on his promise.<\/section>\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"row\">\n<p>insight<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<td>\n<p>Savinho came through the Atl\u00e9tico Mineiro youth system before joining City Football Group via Troyes. Extensive loan spells with PSV and Girona accelerated his development, and his performances in Spain, along with Brazil, earned him international recognition.

Compared to Mohamed Kudus&#8217; outstanding ball-running and power, the Brazilian has similar creativity and additional one-on-one talent. He could also ease the burden on Wilson Odbert, Matthijs Tell and Dejan Kulusevski, adding another unpredictable attacker who can create chances from either flank.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Tottenham have once again emerged as favorites to sign him, as they did last summer when they were embroiled in a lengthy battle.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tottenham-prioritising-deal-for-man-city-winger-savinho-after-sandro-tonali\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tottenham_prioritize_signing_Man_City_winger_Savignho_after_Sandro_Tonali\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Tottenham prioritize signing Man City winger Savignho after Sandro Tonali<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In an interview with talkSPORT, transfer journalist Ben Jacobs revealed that Sabinho is a priority target for Spurs as they look to strengthen their attack following the arrival of Tonali.<\/p>\n<section class=\"emaki-custom-block emaki-custom-pullquote\" data-nosnippet=\"\">\n<div class=\"emaki-custom pullquote\" id=\"custom_block_12\">\n<div class=\"custom_block-content pullquote\">\n<p>\u201cTheir main focus is Sabinho,\u201d Jacobs said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"custom_block-content pullquote\">\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s see if Manchester City&#8217;s board approves the deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p>These comments suggest the biggest hurdle may not be convincing players, but convincing City to part with one of their talented young attackers.<\/p>\n<p>Sabinho has shown glimpses of his huge potential, but cracking into the starting XI has never been easy given the competition for places.<\/p>\n<p>    That&#8217;s where Tottenham can offer something different.<\/p>\n<p>Regular Premier League football, a central role in De Zerbi&#8217;s attacking plans and the opportunity to be one of the team&#8217;s headline players would make north London an attractive destination if City decide a sale or loan is the right move.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-savinho-and-tottenham-are-a-match-made-in-heaven\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Sabinho_and_Tottenham_are_a_match_made_in_heaven\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why Sabinho and Tottenham are a match made in heaven<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sabinho&#8217;s play seems to suit De Zerbi&#8217;s style well.<\/p>\n<p>He moves when receiving the ball in space, attacks full-backs with confidence and has the acceleration to stretch the defensive line.<\/p>\n<p>    The Brazilian is equally comfortable creating chances for his team-mates and getting into dangerous shooting positions himself, making him a real threat from wide range, even if the final product needs some improvement.<\/p>\n<p>If Tottenham can persuade City to negotiate, it could be an exciting new business.<\/p>\n<p>Savigno&#8217;s ceiling remains very high.
