Spurs Hit Snag in Savinho Pursuit

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho, with the Premier League champions considering the Brazilian 'untouchable'.

Tottenham's pursuit of Manchester City winger Savinho has hit a snag, with the Premier League champions reportedly deeming the Brazilian 'untouchable' despite reported interest from Spurs. The London club saw a £70 million bid rejected last summer, and City's stance remains firm.

Savinho, contracted until June 2031, has impressed with two goals and two assists in 23 appearances this season. City values him highly, with manager Pep Guardiola determined to develop him into a top-tier winger. Any potential departure would begin at £75-80 million, a figure Tottenham may be reluctant to match.
