Spurs in stun £50m transfer chat for City footy star

Tottenham are sniffing around Manchester City's Savinho, but the Sky Blues aren't keen on letting him go. The north London club are desperate for another attacker after James Maddison crocked his knee, but City want at least £50m for the Brazilian winger. Savinho only joined City last summer for £31m and has impressed with three goals and 13 assists in his debut season.

Spurs target Savinho

Savinho is open to a move down south, but City are playing hardball over the transfer fee. Spurs are in need of reinforcements after their star midfielder Maddison suffered a serious injury, and Savinho could provide cover on the right wing. The 21-year-old would compete with new signing Mohammed Kudus, Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson for a starting spot.

Pep praises Savinho

City boss Pep Guardiola has been full of praise for Savinho, saying he has "something special" and is "clean in his mind". However, Guardiola also criticised the winger's lack of aggression off the ball and said he has room for improvement. Despite this, Savinho has clearly made a strong impression in his first season in England.

Spurs' season starts with Super Cup

Aside from their transfer business, Spurs are gearing up for their first competitive match of the season against Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Super Cup. The match is a clash between the winners of the Europa League and Champions League from last season. Spurs will then kick off their Premier League campaign at home to Burnley on Saturday, with new boss Thomas Frank hoping to make an instant impact.
