Thomas Frank’s team hold one advantage, though, which could help them to sign the forward. Eberechi Eze is believed to have a close relationship with Tottenham Hotspur’s assistant manager, Justin Cochrane, according to Paul O’Keefe.

Tottenham have opened talks with Manchester City over the potential signing of Savinho. Spurs are in desperate need of attacking reinforcements after the departure of Son Heung-min to Los Angeles FC and the recent serious knee injury sustained by James Maddison.

Manchester City fans are keen for the club to make Tottenham Hotspur’s negotiations to sign Savinho rather tricky, having had previous experience of deals with Levy. Tottenham sold Kyle Walker to Man City back in 2017 for a deal worth around £53m, making him the most expensive defender in the world at the time.
