Tottenham's feet were lit.
Tottenham has found a new target. It's Savinho. According to the Brazilian Globo on the 21st (Korea time), Tottenham is reportedly preparing an offer of 80 million euros for Savinho.
Tottenham missed 'Son Heung-min's replacement' in front of their eyes. It was also hijacked by Arsenal. Crystal Palace's top winger, Eberechi Eze, is likely to head to Arsenal, not Tottenham. The BBC said Arsenal had agreed in principle with Crystal Palace over the recruitment of Eze. "North London rival Tottenham talked about signing a long-term contract, but Eze preferred to move to Arsenal, where he started his youth career," he said, adding that Arsenal's offer includes a £60 million transfer fee and a £8 million bonus.
Fabrizio Romano, who is considered the most authoritative figure in the European transfer market, also shared the same news on his SNS. He floated the trademark 'Here we go', saying 'I'm heading to Arsenal' It's actually a gigantism. Romano said 'All parties agreed verbally' Crystal Palace was offered a transfer fee package worth more than 60 million pounds (about 112.9 billion won) from Arsenal, not Tottenham. Arsenal won the competition with Tottenham. There have been talks with Tottenham for a few days, but a deal has never been confirmed.

Eze, who grew up on the Arsenal youth team from 2006 to 2011, has since played for Fulham, Reading and Millwall. Eze, who moved to Crystal Palace in the 2020-2021 season due to his performance with the Queens Park Rangers (QPR), immediately emerged as the team's ace. Eze, who has explosive dribbling breakthrough and playmaking ability, drew attention from big clubs with her amazing performance last season. Eze scored 14 goals and 12 assists last season to lead Crystal Palace to their first FA Cup championship. He even scored the winning goal in the final against Manchester City.
At first, he was likely to go to Tottenham. Tottenham, where Son Heung-min, who has been in charge of the left side for 10 years, left, was on fire. Son Heung-min has left Tottenham, where he has played for the last 10 years. Son Heung-min, who lifted the Europa League trophy last season to relieve his anger, chose to say goodbye to Tottenham beautifully. Tottenham also respected Son's choice. Son Heung-min transferred to the U.S. Major League Soccer LA FC. The transfer fee reached $26.5 million, the highest ever in MLS history, about 36.8 billion won.
Matistel has been completely traded, but he is far short of Son Heung-min. Mohammed Kudus, who has emerged as a new ace, is a player who moves between the center and the right. Tottenham had their eye on Crystal Palace's Eze. Tottenham offered a transfer fee of £60 million, and Eze also responded positively to Tottenham's transfer. The Sun said 'Eze also conveyed his intention to join Tottenham', and Fabrizio Romano also agreed with Tottenham's project '. He said he hopes to move to Tottenham as soon as possible. On top of that, Tottenham is known to be close to Eze's agency.

But the tide has changed. Kai Havertz recently suffered a sudden knee injury. Long-term departures have become inevitable. Arsenal urgently found a replacement. It was Eze. Arsenal have been linked to Eze since the beginning of the transfer market this summer. He was reluctant because of the high ransom, but when the situation came to this, he met Crystal Palace's requirements. The BBC reported that `I will give Mikel Arteta a fresh option in the attacking side' and that `Eze wants to join Arsenal before the transfer window closes on September 1st.'
Tottenham look perplexed by the sudden hijacking. With the transfer market just around the corner, it's not easy to find new options. The BBC has no doubt that if Arsenal beat his North London rival Tottenham to sign Eze, it would be one of the most notable moments in the transfer window. In particular, Arsenal fans will be very pleased with the signing,' he said, adding that Tottenham, who would have thought they had almost confirmed Eze's signing, will be hit hard by Eze's joining in Arsenal.
In particular, Tottenham has had one painful experience in the transfer market this summer. Morgan Gibbs-Tried to sign White but failed. Nottingham Forest protested that they had never given permission to negotiate a transfer, and that was not the case. Even Eze failed to recruit him, putting him in the worst situation. The Daniel Levisic negotiations, which always take one last step, failed again, and this time it was on the cutting board.

For Tottenham, which lacks second-line resources due to Son Heung-min's departure, James Medicine's sudden injury, and Dejan Kulusevski's long-term injury, recruitment is not an option but a must. Tottenham entered the bid to sign Savinho. Savinho, who left Girona in the summer of 2024 and wore a Manchester City uniform, recorded 11 assists last season, the most in Manchester City, with his unique dribbling. There were some ups and downs, but there were many factors that made us look forward to this season.
Coach Thomas Frank, who highly appreciates Savinho's skills, requested Savinho to be recruited early on. But Man City rejected Tottenham's offer. Tottenham, which was in a hurry due to the failure to recruit Eze, offered an increased amount. Savinho, who aims to play in the North-China World Cup next year, is open to Tottenham, where he can play more consistently, but Manchester City does not think he will budge for any amount of money.
