Savinho's proposed move to Tottenham Hotspur has become one of the biggest transfer stories of the summer.

The Brazilian struggled in his first campaign in England after arriving at Manchester City from Girona last summer, and Spurs are interested in bringing the 21-year-old to North London.

Savinho was left out of Man City's squad for their opening day 4-0 victory at Wolverhampton Wanderers due to injury.

Tottenham are keen on bringing in more attacking players this summer after losing James Maddison to a long-term injury, with both Savinho and Eberechi Eze top targets for Thomas Frank.

Savinho's agent in London for talks as initial Tottenham bid rejected

Spurs have reportedly seen an initial £45million bid for Savinho turned down by Pep Guardiola's side.

The Sunday Mirror's print edition (17 August, page 70) has reported that Savinho's agent, Rodrigo Zeitel, is currently in face-to-face talks with Tottenham in London this weekend over the deal.

Guardiola wants the winger to stay at the Etihad this summer, saying on Friday, prior to the win at Wolves, that he wanted to keep the 21-year-old for "many, many years".

Savinho's omission from the City line-up at Molineux has raised more questions about his future after uploading an Instagram story of himself, which suggested he was fit to play.

Interestingly, Spurs' next fixture is at the Etihad, so any deal may be delayed until after Saturday's clash to avoid the winger facing his former side from the off.

Savinho's arrival would leave Spurs well-stacked in the forward positions

Tottenham strengthened their attack early in the window with the arrival of Mohammed Kudus, who shined against Burnley on the opening day.

While Spurs' attack has looked fluid so far, it is a very thin line-up due to Maddison's injury and Son Heung-min's departure to LAFC.

Arrivals of Eze and Savinho would help stock up offensive options for Frank, and help them avoid any worries of an injury crisis like last season.
