Tottenham sign Savinho from Man City for £75m

What the report says

Tottenham have completed the signing of Brazil winger Savinho from Manchester City for an initial £75m, according to BBC Sport Football. The 22-year-old has agreed a long-term contract and the fee could rise by a further £10m in add-ons. The move had been expected for more than a year after Spurs previously tried to sign him last summer.

BBC Sport reports that Savinho had stayed at City after that earlier attempt, but his opportunities were limited under Pep Guardiola last season, when he started seven Premier League matches. He originally joined City from French club Troyes in 2024 and has since made 84 appearances, scoring seven goals and setting up 16 more.

Savinho said he was happy to finally join Tottenham and described the club as a strong opportunity at a top level. The article also quotes Spurs head coach Roberto de Zerbi saying the winger offers pace, creativity and the ability to trouble defenders from wide areas. The signing adds to a busy summer for Tottenham, who have already brought in several players as they continue a major squad rebuild.

More broadly, the transfer underlines Tottenham’s willingness to spend heavily to strengthen their attacking options, while Manchester City lose a player they had signed only a year earlier. It also fits a wider trend in the Premier League this summer, with several clubs making large outlays on new arrivals.
