Tottenham<\/a> are preparing for one of the biggest rebuilds in the club\u2019s recent history after narrowly avoiding relegation and ending a disastrous Premier League<\/a> campaign in 17th place.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Roberto De Zerbi<\/a>\u2019s arrival late in the season helped stabilise the situation enough for Spurs to survive, but there is now widespread expectation of major changes across the squad this summer.<\/p>\n

Club chief executive Vinai Venkatesham recently admitted that Tottenham require a \u201ccomplete reset\u201d after years of football decline behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Recruitment plans are already accelerating.<\/p>\n

Spurs are about to bring in experienced defenders such as Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi<\/a> as De Zerbi looks to improve a back line that struggled badly throughout the campaign.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tTottenham have held talks to sign record-breaker with formal Liverpool offer made
\n\t\t<\/a>
\n\t<\/h5>\n

Spurs are one of many top sides keen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Robertson, who will leave Liverpool this summer, is viewed as a possible leadership addition, while Senesi\u2019s Premier League experience has also made him an attractive option.<\/p>\n

There are also growing rumours around further attacking additions<\/a> as De Zerbi tries to reshape Tottenham into a side more suited to his aggressive possession-based system.<\/p>\n

\n

The Italian coach is believed to want quicker wide players capable of pressing intensely and attacking defenders one-on-one \u2014 something Spurs often lacked during their difficult season and injury nightmare.<\/p>\n

One name now strongly back in the frame is Man City winger Savinho.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\n Savinho prepared to join Tottenham with De Zerbi a major factor<\/strong>
\n <\/h2>\n

According to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke, the Brazilian is prepared to join Tottenham and is very attracted by the opportunity to work under De Zerbi.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Spurs-Savinho\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The report<\/a> claims the winger likes the idea of playing in the Italian\u2019s attacking setup and would be keen to leave City for Spurs in search of a bigger role.<\/p>\n

Tottenham came close to signing Savinho last summer<\/a> before City decided against letting him leave permanently.<\/p>\n

At the time, the deal was expected to cost around \u00a360 million, and despite his circumstances changing slightly since then, that valuation has remained broadly similar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Part of the reason is Savinho\u2019s contract situation.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Manchester\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The Brazil international signed a new long-term deal with City in 2025, strengthening the club\u2019s position in negotiations and making any move expensive despite his inconsistent game time this season.<\/p>\n

Savinho\u2019s campaign at City has been mixed.<\/p>\n

The winger has shown flashes of the direct pace and creativity that made him such a standout player at Girona, but he struggled to become a guaranteed starter under Pep Guardiola.<\/p>\n

Competition for places across City\u2019s forward line has limited his opportunities, and there is increasing belief that he may need a move to continue his development regularly at the highest level.<\/p>\n

That is where Tottenham believe they could offer something attractive.<\/p>\n

\n
\n \"Savinho\"\n <\/picture>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

De Zerbi\u2019s reputation for improving attacking players remains strong after his work at Brighton and Marseille, and Spurs may feel his tactical system could suit Savinho\u2019s strengths.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian thrives in open spaces, prefers receiving the ball early in transitions and is most dangerous when isolated against full-backs \u2014 all characteristics that align with De Zerbi\u2019s attacking style.<\/p>\n

The biggest issue for Tottenham may simply be cost.<\/p>\n

Even after their survival, Spurs are not operating from a position of financial comfort following a hugely disappointing season.<\/p>\n

Reports have already suggested several current players could leave<\/a> to help fund incoming deals, and spending \u00a360million on another winger would still represent a major commitment.<\/p>\n

Still, the fact Savinho is now reportedly open to the move gives Tottenham encouragement.<\/p>\n
