Manchester City may reportedly turn to a £70million-rated replacement for Savinho in the event that the Brazilian winger joins Tottenham.
Tottenham’s interest comes after their failed attempts to attract Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace, who is poised to join London rivals Arsenal for £68m after completing his medical.
City have no intention of letting Savinho depart easily, but in the event that he issues a formal transfer request - and Spurs come with an acceptable offer - Pep Guardiola and his recruitment staff may look to alternatives.
