Tottenham Hotspur’s £75 million signing of Brazilian winger Savinho from Manchester City could provide a major boost to the club’s ambitions of challenging for the Premier League title as Roberto De Zerbi accelerates his rebuild.
The 22-year-old has signed a long-term contract with Spurs, with the deal potentially rising by a further £10 million in add-ons. The transfer takes Tottenham’s spending beyond £300 million this summer, underlining the club’s determination to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.
Savinho’s arrival represents a major statement of intent from Tottenham after they narrowly avoided relegation last season. However, their title ambitions have already suffered an early setback after De Zerbi’s side opened the campaign with a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Brentford.

The Brazilian’s move to north London has been more than a year in the making. Tottenham first attempted to sign Savinho last summer, but the winger opted to remain at the Etihad Stadium.
