Tottenham Hotspur are making serious headway in their pursuit of Manchester City's Brazilian winger Savinho, and the 22 year old has now made his intentions clear. According to sources close to GoalZaza, the player is open to the move and has given the green light to a switch to north London. This is the kind of decisive development that can transform a summer window from a drawn out saga into a statement of intent.Let's cut through the noise. Savinho isn't just another name on a list; he is a raw, direct wide man who thrives in transitional play. At City, he has been used in bursts, often deployed when Pep Guardiola needs to stretch a low block or inject pace into a stagnant phase. But at Tottenham, under Ange Postecoglou, he would likely become a central figure. The Australian demands wingers who carry the ball with conviction, who cut inside with menace, and who can deliver a cross under pressure. Savinho fits that profile. He is tall, athletic, and surprisingly clinical for his age. Think of a young Riyad Mahrez but with more zip and less patience. That combination of directness and tactical flexibility is rare.Negotiations remain ongoing between Spurs and City, and the numbers involved are not trivial. City paid around £30 million for Savinho last summer and would demand a premium to let him go after just one season. But here is the rub: City have a crowded attacking roster and the player wants regular starts. If Tottenham can structure a deal that respects City's valuation while offering the player a clear path to first team football, this could be wrapped up before August. The question is whether Daniel Levy is prepared to move quickly, or whether he will haggle until squeaky bum time sets in for everyone.From a fan perspective, this is the kind of signing that generates genuine excitement. Savinho is not a project; he is a Premier League ready winger with Champions League experience and a Brazilian samba style. He can play on either flank, which gives Postecoglou the ability to switch formations without changing personnel. Imagine him on the left, cutting onto his right foot, with Destiny Udogie overlapping. That right side becomes a nightmare for full backs. Tottenham have lacked that kind of unpredictability since the days of Gareth Bale's searing runs. If this goes through, the atmosphere around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will shift from cautious optimism to outright belief.There is still work to be done, but the player has made his decision. Now it falls on the clubs to find common ground. For Spurs, this is a chance to land a genuine difference maker at a time when their rivals are scrambling to rebuild. For Savinho, it is an opportunity to become the main man, not a supporting act. Watch this space, because this one has serious legs.
