If you are the kind of person who is optimistic that things will turn out for the best, then this might be a story for you. There has been a bunch of background muttering about Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s bid to purchase Savinho from Manchester City maybe not being as dead as what it seemed like last week, and now Fabrizio Romano is in to confirm it.<\/p>\n
Do the math and \u20ac70m comes out to just shy of \u00a361m. That\u2019s a lot for a 20-year-old who hasn\u2019t broken out in the Premier League, but less than what Spurs were willing to pay for Morgan Gibbs-White or Eberechi Eze, and if I\u2019m honest less than what I thought it might take to actually pry him out of Manchester.<\/p>\n
Savinho is good. Like, I think potentially transformational good, especially if he continues to improve the way he has. If \u20ac70m is City\u2019s asking price, then Spurs should pay it. If the asking price is actually higher than that, then Spurs should pay whatever that asking price really is. What I\u2019m saying is: I like Savinho, Spurs should make him a priority signing, and then we figure out the 10 spot afterwards.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s that pesky matter of the City executive who has put a veto on the idea of Savio leaving, but everyone likes money and so my informed opinion is that Spurs should spend some money and bring in Savio. Because he\u2019s cool and fun and I want to see him play in a Tottenham shirt for Thomas Frank this season.<\/p>\n
