Tottenham Hotspur Close In on Savinho as Fabrizio Romano Flags Summer Coup

The rumour mill at Hotspur Way has been churning with intent, and if the latest intelligence from GoalZaza is anything to go by, Daniel Levy is preparing to flex his muscles in the market once more. The name on everyone's lips is Savinho, the Manchester City forward who, despite his tender years, has already shown enough raw electricity to make defences across Europe sit up and take notice.According to transfer oracle Fabrizio Romano, the Brazilian was keen on a switch to North London as far back as twelve months ago. That interest has not waned. In fact, the chatter suggests that Tottenham are now in a commanding position to land their man, with an announcement on one deal imminent and another close to being wrapped up. Quite soon, as the man himself puts it. For a club that has often been accused of dithering in the transfer trough, this represents a shift in tempo.Let's be brutally honest here. Tottenham's recruitment strategy over the past few windows has been a mixed bag. They have unearthed gems, yes, but they have also left fans tearing their hair out with protracted sagas that fizzle into nothing. This Savinho pursuit feels different. It has the whiff of a club that knows exactly what it wants and is willing to move with purpose. The prospect of a player of his calibre, capable of operating across the front line and tormenting full backs with that low centre of gravity, is precisely the sort of injection this squad needs. Can you imagine him running at a tired defence in the final twenty minutes Squeaky bum time for the opposition, no doubt.Of course, the cynic in me remembers countless windows where Tottenham have been 'strongly linked' only to fall short at the final hurdle. But the noises this time are consistent. Romano does not deal in vague hand waving. When he says a deal can be done 'quite soon', you are entitled to start dreaming. The question now is which other dominoes fall. With one signing set to be announced, and another in the pipeline, Spurs supporters have every right to feel a rare sense of optimism. The pitch at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium awaits its new artists.
