Xavi Simons has sent Tottenham fans into a frenzy with a social media post that strongly suggests a transfer for Manchester City winger Savinho is on the horizon.
As Spurs push hard to add attacking talent for the upcoming season, Simons' recent Instagram activity appears to be a major hint that a deal for Savinho is close to being finalized.
The excitement began when the Dutch international shared a throwback photo on Instagram of himself and Savinho from their time together at PSV Eindhoven during the 2022-23 season. While it could be seen as a simple reunion of former teammates, the timing has not gone unnoticed by Tottenham supporters.
This social media teaser aligns perfectly with insider reports indicating that Tottenham's negotiations for the Brazilian winger are advancing smoothly. New manager Roberto De Zerbi has reportedly given his full backing to pursue the 22-year-old forward to lead his revamped attacking lineup.
According to club insider Paul O’Keefe, Tottenham's recruitment team has redirected all attention towards signing Savinho from Manchester City, putting other targets like Crysencio Summerville on the back burner. Savinho's profile, featuring explosive wing play and strong 1v1 ability, fits De Zerbi's tactical vision for fluid wingers.
Simons, who joined Tottenham last August in a significant £51.8 million deal, seems eager to reunite with his former teammate.
