Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly advancing in talks for Savinho, with the Man City winger open to the move according to BBC Sport. Savinho to Tottenham is not hard to sell: De Zerbi wants width, ball-carrying and one-v-one threat. Savinho is that brief with studs on.
How does Savinho compare to Mohammed Kudus?
Savinho and Mohammed Kudus are both left-footed creators, but they create chaos differently. In the 2025/26 Premier League, Savinho averaged 2.19 shots and 8.66 touches in the opposition box per 90 minutes. Kudus averaged 1.51 shots and 3.32 box touches per 90.
Kudus carried more reliably, completing 51 of his 100 take-ons, while Savinho completed 17 of 53. The Brazilian, though, got into higher-value zones more often in a smaller Man City role. Give him regular minutes and the raw threat should travel.
What would Savinho add to Tottenham Hotspur?
Savinho would give Tottenham a natural touchline winger who can stretch the pitch before coming inside. In a De Zerbi side, the trick is tempting pressure centrally and then releasing the spare man wide before the opposition can reset.
This is not a clean upgrade on Kudus. It is a variety play, with Savinho able to rotate across both flanks while giving Spurs another full-back isolator. It also links naturally with our recent analysis of Tottenham’s Savinho alternatives and the Squawka Comparison Matrix.
The risk is output. Savinho still needs to turn promising carries into repeatable end product, and Spurs already have several attacking pieces to fit together. The upside is obvious, but this would be a development bet as much as a plug-and-play signing. That makes the fee ceiling important, because the profile is exciting rather than risk-free.
Savinho to Tottenham odds
At the time of writing, major bookmakers are not widely offering a next-club price on Savinho to Tottenham. When a deal is being framed as active club-to-club work, there is little value in leaving a short, exposed transfer-special price live.
