Tottenham Hotspur is plotting a dramatic £70 million bid for Manchester City's Savinho, following their disappointing failure to secure Eberechi Eze, who is set to join Arsenal.

The news stings even more for Spurs fans, as their north London rivals swooped in, effectively hijacking Eze and leaving Tottenham scrambling for alternatives.

As Eze prepares to finalize his move to the Emirates, Spurs are reportedly reigniting their interest in Savinho, a promising 21-year-old Brazilian talent. According to Brazilian outlet Globo, Tottenham is determined to make a competitive offer as the player's agents remain in London to negotiate.

Despite the ambitious plans, Manchester City is hesitant to part ways with Savinho, having already dismissed an initial bid from Tottenham earlier this window. The player has garnered attention from Spurs' head coach Thomas Frank, but a transfer could potentially set a club-record fee, which chairman Daniel Levy is usually reluctant to pay.

Savinho’s future could hinge on next summer’s World Cup, as his decision may be influenced by the chance to secure a place in Carlo Ancelotti's squad.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Tottenham has not abandoned their pursuit of Savinho; however, City remains firm in blocking the transfer.

The loss of Eze, paired with an injury to James Maddison, is driving Spurs to make a strategic push in the final days of the transfer window—yet they face the challenge of enticing quality players.

TBR Football’s Graeme Bailey has identified other targets for Spurs, including Leicester’s Bilal El Khannouss, who Palace is courting to replace Eze, although his move isn’t finalized.

Bailey stated, 'Tottenham have enquired about Bilal El Khannouss and received no encouragement from City regarding Savinho.' He added that they are also monitoring Tyler Dibling and Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott.

Romano highlighted Morgan Rogers as a 'dream target,' despite Aston Villa valuing him at £80 million, making a deal extremely challenging. It’s clear that Tottenham is actively strategizing to strengthen their squad ahead of the season's concluding transfer window.

The pressing question remains: can Spurs turn their fortunes around and secure a significant signing that fans hope will bolster their campaign?
