Savinho has seemingly been pushing to leave Manchester City over the past few days, and the winger has thrown another big hint that he expects to be a Tottenham player.
The Tottenham target missed Man City’s training session last Friday amid reports of negotiations accelerating over a move to Spurs.
Subsequently, the 22-year-old was not part of Enzo Maresca’s matchday squad for the Community Shield on Sunday, as Arsenal emerged 3-0 winners at Wembley.
Fabrizio Romano has said that his absence was down to the player wanting to move to North London, adding that Man City and Spurs are negotiating on a daily basis for Savinho.
Savinho ‘likes’ Tottenham youngster’s social media post
Throughout the summer, Savinho has been throwing hints on social media regarding a potential switch to Spurs, and he is not stopping.
Tottenham academy starlet Luca Williams-Barnett impressed again during the club’s 2-2 draw against Hoffenheim at Hotspur Way on Sunday.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder, who scored Spurs’ second goal with a lovely finish, took to Instagram to write, “It’s time”, with the post not only being ‘liked’ by many of his current Spurs teammates, but also by Saivnho.
Spurs want Savinho deal agreed swiftly
According to various reports, Tottenham are in a hurry to complete a deal for Savinho so that the Brazilian is available to play against Brentford.
One can understand why that is the case, with De Zerbi short of wide options at the moment, with Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski injured, and with Mohammed Kudus only having started training recently.
The Italian may be forced to start Mikey Moore against the Bees if they do not land another winger before their trip to West London.
