Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has revealed the two winger options currently being considered by Spurs, with Savinho named as the club’s priority target.
Spurs Web has reported that Tottenham Hotspur are making good progress in their attempts to sign Savinho this summer transfer window.
However, not many Lilywhites fans are convinced the Brazil international is exactly what the club needs at the moment.
Many supporters point to Savinho’s output after a disappointing campaign with Manchester City, where he managed just one Premier League goal, as a reason for the club not to sign him.
Tottenham considering Harry Wilson and Anan Khalaili transfers
Some sections of the Tottenham fanbase have called for Jarrod Bowen to be targeted instead following West Ham United’s relegation.
Spurs Web has reported that Tottenham could deal the Hammers a double blow by signing Bowen and Crysencio Summerville.
Bowen did hit double figures for goal contributions last campaign, having scored nine goals and provided 11 assists, and could also be available on the cheap, with a valuation of £35m being floated around.
Tottenham insider Paul O’Keefe has now revealed that Spurs have three wide forwards on their list of winger targets.
One is Savinho, who is joined by Fulham’s Harry Wilson and Union SG’s 21-year-old Anan Khalaili, who plays in the Belgian top flight.
Spurs winger targets compared
Looking at the numbers of the three named targets, Harry Wilson comes out on top in terms of output, and that will surely go down well with Tottenham fans who are desperate to see players capable of delivering in the final third.
Spurs were one of the worst attacking sides in the division last season and could do with more threat from out wide, having managed only 48 goals in 38 matches.
Wilson provides that after scoring 10 goals and supplying seven assists in 36 league appearances. Anan Khalaili managed three goals and five assists in the Belgian First Division, while also scoring three goals in eight Champions League appearances.
His overall return was 12 goal contributions in 52 games. Savinho’s statistics place him lowest in terms of output, having managed four goals and three assists in 36 appearances across all competitions.
| Player | Appearances | Goals | Assists | Goal contributions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Harry Wilson | 36 | 10 | 7 | 17 |
| Anan Khalaili | 52 | 7 | 5 | 12 |
| Savinho | 36 | 4 | 3 | 7 |
