The Independent’s Miguel Delaney has said that Tottenham Hotspur are determined to get two attackers through the door before the transfer window slams shut, amid continued links with Savinho and Morgan Rogers.
Regular readers of Spurs Web will be aware that since Tottenham missed out on Eberechi Eze, a flurry of attackers across Europe have been linked with a move to the Lilywhites.
It is not clear at the moment who Spurs’ top targets are, but one thing appears certain: the club want to get more than one player through the door.
On Monday, Alasdair Gold revealed that Tottenham are prioritising signing a number ten and a winger before the window closes, and another journalist has now backed up that information.
Tottenham have renewed hope on Savinho deal
Over the past two days, reports indicate that Tottenham remain intent on landing Savinho but the deal depends on Man City finding a replacement.
Miguel Delaney has now claimed that there is growing hope at Hotspur Way that a deal for the 21-year-old winger would be doable, but the journalist claimed that the Lilywhites have now given up on Como’s Nico Paz.
Delaney wrote in The Independent’s Inside Football newsletter: “Tottenham Hotspur have a few plates spinning, although it almost feels like one speeds up as another slows down.
“There is now renewed confidence that they can get closer to Manchester City on Savinho’s price, especially after talks on Saturday.
“At the same time, Como’s Nico Paz has insisted he wants to stay there, just as Spurs had got quite far into negotiations. That move is no longer being pursued.
“The club have also been mindful of budget – whether to spend big on one position and less on another – as they still seek both a wide player and a central creator.”
Tottenham have doubts about their dream signing
Reports over recent days continue to indicate that Spurs are determined to test Aston Villa’s resolve over Morgan Rogers.
Delaney confirmed that the England international remains Tottenham’s top priority, but the club are not confident about getting their hands on the 23-year-old.
The Independent journalist added: “The ideal would be Morgan Rogers, who remains a priority. But, as of Monday afternoon, Spurs are still working out whether they can get to the kind of price that would make Aston Villa think. The club are naturally wary of another high-profile chase that ends in disappointment.”
