Tottenham Hotspur remain hopeful that Manchester City will change their mind regarding Savinho over the coming days and weeks.
Tottenham tried until summer transfer deadline day to land Savinho, but Pep Guardiola’s men refused to let the winger leave.
The Brazilian has since penned a new deal at the Etihad Stadium, but he has found starts hard to come by this term.
Over recent weeks, some sources have indicated that Spurs could try again for Savinho during the January window, as the club will miss out on their top target, Antoine Semenyo.
Tottenham hoping Antoine Semenyo deal changes Man City’s stance on Savinho
Over recent days, the likes of Fabrizio Romano have claimed that Man City are unlikely to be receptive to offers for Savinho in January, suggesting that any deal would have to wait until next summer.
However, talkSPORT have now claimed that Tottenham Hotspur are now ‘readying a fresh swoop’ for the 21-year-old winger.
Despite their advances being rebuffed by City in the summer, the Lilywhites are thought to be hopeful that the Manchester club will change their mind once they land Semenyo.
The Bournemouth winger is expected to arrive at the Etihad Stadium, and Thomas Frank’s side remain hopeful that it will trigger a potential sale of the former Genoa man.
However, the outlet adds that it is unlikely that City would be willing to offload both Savinho and Oscar Bobb in January.
Spurs’ hopes may lie on Savinho’s stance on his future
It was reported in TEAMtalk a few days ago that Tottenham first want to speak to Savinho to find out if he is keen on a move to N17.
It was explained that if the winger does not express a desire to join Spurs, the North Londoners will not bother testing the waters.
The Lilywhites may thus be hoping that Savinho pushes through the transfer, particularly if Semenyo arrives through the door, as that would likely limit the Brazilian’s game time even more.
