Savinho has posted a cryptic image of himself in the gym, as Tottenham Hotspur links to the Man City winger continue to fly around.

The 22-year-old joined City in the summer of 2024 from PSV, and enjoyed an encouraging debut 2024-25 campaign at the Etihad Stadium.

10 assists and two goals from 45 total appearances marked a solid return for the talented winger, who evidently has plenty of ability to still refine.

However, 2025-26 saw the Brazilian make only 39 appearances in all competitions, scoring five goals and providing just the three assists, with only seven Premier League starts to his name last term.

As such, he could be ready to quit Manchester this summer, and if so, Tottenham appears to be a likely destination for him.

What has Savinho posted to his Instagram?

Savinho has been linked to Tottenham since last summer, and he looked almost nailed on to make the move to N17 at one point.

However, no such deal was agreed, but Spurs have evidently retained their interest in the forward as links have once again re-emerged ahead of this summer's transfer window.

There's clearly no smoke without fire here, and in his latest post to his Instagram story, Savinho has certainly fanned the flames of a potential move to the Lilywhites.

He posted an image of himself working out in the gym, but that isn't the cryptic element here, instead, that lies in the song choice he used to soundtrack the post.

As seen towards the top of the image, Savinho used the song Let It All Work Out by Lil Wayne, which could very well be a nod to his transfer future.

Would Savinho start for Totttenham?

Tottenham look fairly determined to bring Savinho to North London, and if that is to be the case, he would certainly add elements of flair, pace and unpredictability to their forward line.

A right winger by trade, his main competition would currently come via the likes of Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert and Dejan Kulusevski respectively.

Crucially, however, all three of those players are currently out injured as they continue to rehab from serious respective injuries.

So, depending on how soon Savinho was to sign for Spurs, the Brazilian could have a fairly clear run at the starting role on the right before those stars begin to return over the summer and into the start of next season.

If he was to join right now, then Savinho would surely move straight to the top of the pecking order down the right, but when everyone is fit, Tottenham might just be running the risk of having too many cooks in the kitchen in this position.
