Tottenham Hotspur is shifting its primary transfer focus toward Manchester City winger Savinho as hopes of securing Cody Gakpo begin to fade this summer. Reports indicate that Liverpool is reluctant to part ways with the Dutch forward, with club sources suggesting he remains a key part of their ongoing plans under management.
Manager Roberto De Zerbi had reportedly identified both Gakpo and Savinho as ideal candidates to reinforce Tottenham's attacking options ahead of the new Premier League campaign. While personal terms were believed to be discussed with Gakpo, industry insiders indicate that a formal agreement with Liverpool remains highly complicated.

SubscribeAttention has now pivoted heavily toward Savinho, with discussions underway regarding a potential 85 million pound swoop for the Brazilian star. Tottenham previously pursued the 22-year-old last summer before he signed a new contract extension at the Etihad Stadium, but optimism remains within the North London club.
The aggressive financial backing demonstrated by Tottenham in recent windows highlights their determination to provide De Zerbi with a squad capable of challenging for elite European positions. As the transfer deadline approaches, club hierarchy continues to weigh heavy investments to finalize their forward line.
De Zerbi Targets Record Move for Brazilian Winger
Roberto De Zerbi's tactical vision for Tottenham Hotspur is driving a massive recruitment push in the final weeks of the summer transfer window. Securing a marquee winger is viewed as essential to injecting creativity and pace into an attack that requires further depth following recent squad adjustments.
Savinho has emerged as the standout option to fulfill this role, though prising him away from Manchester City will demand a substantial financial commitment. Industry reports value a potential agreement at a staggering 85 million pounds, reflecting the player's high ceiling and value in the current market.
Despite the steep valuation, Tottenham's leadership has shown a willingness to spend aggressively to back their coaching staff, having already completed significant midfield and defensive reinforcements. Evaluating alternative targets alongside Savinho ensures the club remains prepared for any negotiation hurdles.
The coming days will prove decisive as Tottenham attempts to finalize terms with Manchester City and complete what would be one of the window's most expensive transfers. Fans eagerly await to see if the club can bridge the valuation gap and secure a transformative signing.
