Manchester City fans have now shared their thoughts on Brazilian winger Savinho potentially heading to Tottenham this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping they can sign Savinho this summer after trying and failing to land the winger last year.
This time, though, it could be different with Pep Guardiola now out the door at Manchester City. The Spaniard was the one who persuaded Savinho to remain at the Etihad Stadium despite Spurs’ £70m offer.
Savinho, just as he was a year ago, is once again open to a move, while Manchester City are now understood to be willing to sell as talks between the two sides continue to progress well.
Savinho sparks reaction from Man City fans amid Tottenham rumours
With it looking increasingly likely that Savinho could well be heading out the door this summer transfer window, Manchester City fans have now taken to social media to express their feelings.
Many supporters believe the club could regret selling the Brazilian winger, while others feel it is the right time to move him on to Tottenham.
One fan said: “I have a bad feeling that he’s gonna ball at Tottenham,” while another added: “He will at a team that have loads of space to run into. Unfortunately, he isn’t clinical enough for City and against teams that sit deep.”
A third supporter commented: “He will do anything apart from scoring goals that’s for sure,” while another fan insisted: “His ceiling is sooo high, we can’t give up on SAVVV😭😭.”
One more supporter believed Savinho could still develop into a world-class player, writing: “Slowly waiting for him to improve his decision making, finishing, crossing and composure in vital moments…..the rest of his attributes are incredible….if he works at it and calms down when he’s got a shot on he’d be a terrific player for us….just a lot of ifs and buts.”
Reacting to the Tottenham links, another Man City fan simply stated: “We’re gonna regret this. I hope he doesn’t leave.”
Savinho’s numbers show where Tottenham’s concerns come from
Savinho is certainly a player capable of elevating Tottenham Hotspur’s creativity from out wide. The Brazilian international is an excellent dribbler and has the ability to stretch play and create chances.
His 10 assists in his first Premier League season are a testament to that quality. However, throughout most of his time in England, he has struggled for goals.
Savinho’s best return in front of goal remains the one he managed at Girona, where there was often far more space to attack into. Some Tottenham fans may be worried by his actual numbers since joining the Premier League.
There, he produced arguably the best attacking football of his career so far, registering nine goals and 10 assists. However, in England, the 22-year-old has not scored more than one goal in a Premier League season.
