Savinho | May 2026 - Spurs linked again (p218)

Elanga scored 6 goals and registered 11 assists last season.

Taking the blue-tinted specs off for one moment, I’m not sure how you can possibly believe Savinho is worth at least £35m more.

Savinho is younger, had a better season at Girona than Elanga has ever had and is a Brazilian international. So he does have higher value than Elanga. I rate Elanga so it is not with blue tinted eyes.

must have missed this season :-). His last season was not bad at all, his finishing will not be as bad going forward. Compare those two season stats to Elanga when he was 20 and 21.
 
Sounds like this is going to happen. Remains to be seen if he can shake off that Gabriel Jesus gene of getting too in his head in front of goal. He started off brilliantly last season, I thought, but faded a bit after the autumn, apart from that purple patch around Christmas. I think he flatters to deceive a bit at the moment but he's young so you'd hope he loses that over time. I think he deserves another year at City but you can't say no to £65m really, especially if it opens the door for someone like Rodrygo.

If we get £67 million for this lad then I think that's a great bit of business good money for a very average player.

You could say he’s average at the moment. You could also see that he has tremendous natural talent and doesn’t need to add too much to become a top winger. Especially when you factor in his age and only one year in the league

Yeh I’m not sure this will end up looking so rosey in a few years. Don’t think he will be at Palmers level but only as it’s an inferior team. The move from Spurs to his next club could be huge.

Why? He is worth well more than that in today's market, and we are right to put a price on him and stick to it.

I am more likely to question spurs actually offering that much, than I am us turning it down.

He scored 1 goal in 29 league games. I know he’s got potentially a high ceiling if he learns to shoot and I would never have sold him unless he wants to go which it looks like he does. But they just paid 55m for Kudus who has done a fair bit more in this league than Savinho and Eze looks like he’s going for 55-60, I know he’s older but he also has the English premium. But they are 2 players who are currently quite a long way ahead of Savinho.

But I just don’t think we are getting more than 60million quid when all we are selling at this stage is potential. Unless the bid was 60 million which included a lot of unrealistic add ons I don’t think we are turning that down.

If this is going to happen can we at least drag it out until after the 2nd gameweek. I really can’t be bothered watching him inevitably score against us in the 2nd match of the season.

It will be the first shot on goal by Spurs, and it be Savinho who scores the goal, after City miss numerous goal chances.

Absolutely no guarantee his finishing will ever improve.

I like him, loved him at Girona and was excited to see him at City but the club seem pretty easy about him going and the lad isn’t digging his heels into stay so good luck to him

Kudus is 25, Eze is 27.

They should be "a long way ahead". Savinho is probably closer to them at 21 than he needs 4 years to make up.

Haven't they said they don't want to sell him? Or do you read that as being pretty easy about him going?

I bet he never shoots 2% again unless you genuinely believe he continues his entire career as at least a very quality player but still the absolute worst finisher in Europe (even though he was a statistically average finisher in Spain).

He shot 5 times under the average. It's not particularly ambitious to say he'll largely shoot just under or just over the average. And that's still with getting a decent proportion of his shots on target. More than Rodrygo for example.

I disagree. Based on having watched him play. If there is any truth to the reports, the club do too. I'd be disappointed if we got as little as 60m for him. He could have gone for close to that based on hos previous season alone, had he not been part of the cfg where we got him for a bargain.
