Manchester City have confirmed Savinho will not feature in their Community Shield squad for Sunday’s clash against Arsenal at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium, with Tottenham Hotspur continuing to circle the Brazilian winger throughout the summer.
Premier League holders Arsenal and FA Cup champions City face off for the first piece of silverware this season. City’s released squad list included record-breaking signing Elliot Anderson, but Savinho’s name was absent — a detail that will not go unnoticed by Spurs, who have tracked the winger all summer.
Savinho has shown his quality both in the Premier League and at international level, catching the attention of Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi, who is eager to bolster his attacking options before the campaign begins. Liverpool‘s Cody Gakpo is also on Spurs’ radar, with the club reported to be working on a £70m move for the 22-year-old, whose future at Anfield remains unresolved.
Spurs have already been active in the transfer market this window, bringing in Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Jan Paul van Hecke, Andrew Robertson, and Marcos Senesi. De Zerbi is pushing for more attacking reinforcements as the North London club target a European spot next season.
Tottenham failed to land Savinho last summer and again in January. With City boss Enzo Maresca now leaving the winger out of a high-profile squad, a transfer looks increasingly credible.
