"Savinho has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur in recent months. The North London club wanted to sign the player during the summer transfer window, but they were not able to get the deal done. According to TBR Football, they were planning to return for him in January. However, the player has now agreed a long-term contract with Manchester City in principle."
"The Tottenham transfer is now in jeopardy, and it will be interesting to see if the North London club decide to move on to other targets. They could use more cutting-edge in the final third, and signing a quality wide player would be a wise decision. The 21-year-old could have been a solid long-term investment for them. He is a tremendous talent with a bright future."
"I am told that after the window closed, both Guardiola and Viana had lengthy talks with Savinho, where they underlined their belief to him that he has a major part to play. They have a huge belief in his talent and admiration for him as a person. Hearing the backing he has, Savinho has been persuaded that his future lies in Manchester."
Savinho agreed a long-term contract with Manchester City in principle after Pep Guardiola and the club's representatives held lengthy talks and underlined his future role. Guardiola convinced the Brazilian attacker that he has a major part to play and that the club has strong belief in his talent and character. The decision effectively ended immediate hopes of a move to Tottenham Hotspur, who had targeted him in the summer and reportedly considered returning in January. Tottenham may now pursue other wide attacking targets. Savinho needs regular first-team gametime to continue his development and will hope for more opportunities at Manchester City.
