Tottenham is recruiting a huge amount to fill Son Heung-min's gap.
Fabrizio Romano, an expert in the European transfer market, said on his personal SNS on the 11th (Korea time), `Tottenham started talks with Manchester City to recruit Savinho. Negotiations are underway between Tottenham and Manchester City, and if the two clubs agree on a transfer fee, Savinho is also open to a transfer. Tottenham boss Thomas Frank has identified Savinho as an ideal target," he reported.
Recently, coach Frank publicly stated that Son Heung-min needs to be replaced. After the 0-4 disaster at Bayern Munich, he said "Son Heung-min has been a key player for 10 seasons. He left the club. We have talented young players, Matistel and Wilson O'Dowbert, who are very promising and can perform well. Brennan Johnson can also play on the left. Still, we are watching the transfer market. If you think you're looking for the right players to improve your team, you'll recruit them. Otherwise, we will not recruit him."
Coach Frank saw Savinho as a player who could improve the team. He is a Brazilian right winger whose strength is explosive speed and ability to break through one-on-one. Born in 2004, he grew up with the Atlechiku youth team and made his first-team debut at the age of 16 in 2020. Manchester City recognized Savinho's talent and immediately decided to recruit him.
Savinho was hired by Manchester City, but he still lacks the ability to play in the first team, so he was given an opportunity to grow through Trua, PSV Eindhoven, and Girona. Savinho proved his eligibility to join Manchester City as he was reborn as the top winger in Spain's La Liga in Girona in the 2023-2024 season.
Savinho played on the right for Manchester City but can also play on the left. He consistently showed good performance from the left when he was the most outstanding player. However, he began to be coached by Pep Guardiola in Manchester City last season, but his performance was not 100% satisfactory.
This is because he has strengths in speed and breakthrough, but he was disappointed in attack point productivity. He scored three goals and 13 assists in 48 official matches. 13 assists is a good number, but only three goals are serious for Man City. He is still a player who needs to improve in goal determination and shooting.
In order to recruit Savinho, it seems that Tottenham will need money equal to the highest transfer fee ever. This is because he is a player with a ransom of 50 million euros (about 81 billion won). Tottenham's highest transfer fee ever is 64.3 million euros (about 104.2 billion won) paid when recruiting Dominic Solanke. Savinho was born in 2004 and is still a player with a strong future, so he is expected to need a similar level of transfer fee.
