Tottenham Hotspur could be set to take on Real Madrid in a battle to sign Brazilian wonderkid Savinho, and there’s a chance they could win the race to sign the 19-year-old.
Despite losing Harry Kane in the summer, Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal right now.
Spurs captain, Heung-min Son, is on fire at the moment. His strike against Liverpool at the weekend was his sixth goal of the season (Transfermarkt).
Around him, the likes of Dejan Kulusevski, Richarlison, Manor Solomon, and Brennan Johnson are enough to have anyone wondering why Spurs would need another attacker.
Indeed, Tottenham are flying high right now, with five wins and two draws from their opening seven Premier League games. But, there is always room for improvement.

Tottenham and Real Madrid both keen on Savinho
With one eye on the January transfer window and beyond, it seems another attacking talent has been linked with a move to North London. 19-year-old Brazil forward Savinho is on Spurs’ radar, according to TEAMtalk.
The youngster is currently on loan at La Liga side Girona but is owned by French club Troyes. He joined the Ligue 1 outfit last summer but is yet to turn out for them so far, having spent time on loan at PSV Eindhoven in the 2022/23 campaign.
This season, Savinho has two goals and four assists for Girona (Transfermarkt). And, it seems his form has caught the eye of both Tottenham and Real Madrid.
The report claims signing a new forward will be among Postecoglou’s “main priorities” in January, and Savinho is thought to be “very much in Tottenham’s thinking.”
The player has already admitted he would like to play in the Premier League, but rejected Arsenal last summer before moving to France.
Spurs may have the upper hand in the race now, however, as Real Madrid are not thought to have the financial means to make it possible.
Spurs Web Opinion
Savinho has started the season in great form over in Spain and is clearly ready for top-flight football despite his age. He could be an interesting addition to Spurs’ roster, but I’d like to see if he can keep up this form all year before we take that chance on him.
