Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly joined the race to sign Brazilian wonderkid Savinho, also a target for Real Madrid.
A report from Fichajes claims that Savinho has attracted the attention of Tottenham Hotspur with his performances in La Liga with Girona. The North London outfit have joined Real Madrid in the race to sign the Brazilian whizkid.
Apparently, Tottenham are hoping to add to their attacking unit in January, and it remains to be seen whether they can agree on a deal for the 19-year-old. Savinho is currently on loan at La Liga club Girona from French outfit Troyes.
The talented young attacker has certainly impressed during his time at the Spanish club, and he could be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League in the near future. He recently revealed that he snubbed Arsenal to join the City Football Group with Troyes.
Although Tottenham have a number of attackers at their disposal, they could certainly use more depth, especially if they want to get back into the Champions League and compete for major trophies. Players like Dejan Kulusevski and Richarlison have not been able to live up to the expectations this season, and competition for places will help both players improve.
Savinho has the quality to thrive in the Premier League and he will add pace, creativity and goals to the Tottenham attack. The 19-year-old is highly rated in Spain and he has a big future of him. Recent reports have also linked him with Real Madrid. And Juni Calafat has been pushing Real Madrid to pursue the teenage wonderkid.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential. Moving to Tottenham would be a major step up in the 19-year-old’s career, and he is likely to be tempted if there is a concrete proposal on the table. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few months.
The Brazilian has the technical attributes to do well in English football, and his style of play could be a good fit for the Premier League as well. Meanwhile, Tottenham have not brought in a striker to replace Harry Kane, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to sign a goalscorer during the January window as well.
