Xavi Simons Sparks Tottenham Transfer Excitement With Hint Over Potential Savinho Reunion

Tottenham’s summer rebuild could be gathering momentum after Xavi Simons appeared to hint at a possible reunion with former teammate Savinho.

The Dutch playmaker has sparked speculation among Spurs supporters following his recent social media activity, with the club continuing to explore a move for the Manchester City winger ahead of the new season.

Simons Adds Fuel To Transfer Rumours

Simons and Savinho previously shared the pitch during their time at PSV Eindhoven, forming a strong connection before their careers took different paths.

Now, with Tottenham actively searching for attacking reinforcements, Simons’ online interactions have only intensified suggestions that Savinho could be heading to north London.

The Brazilian winger endured a frustrating 2025-26 campaign at Manchester City, struggling to establish himself as a regular starter. Despite signing a long-term contract extension through to 2031, opportunities were limited, leaving questions over his future at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham Continue Negotiations

Spurs are eager to strengthen their squad after a disappointing season that saw them finish dangerously close to the relegation zone.

According to transfer reports, discussions between Tottenham and Manchester City remain ongoing, with both clubs working toward a potential agreement.

City are believed to value Savinho at around £60 million, although negotiations could still determine the final fee. The Premier League champions reportedly blocked Tottenham’s interest last summer, but circumstances have changed significantly over the past 12 months.

With competition for places increasing and a new era beginning at City, the club may now be willing to consider offers for the 22-year-old.

Savinho Open To New Challenge

A move to Tottenham could offer Savinho the regular first-team football he has struggled to secure at Manchester City.

The winger is reportedly attracted by the opportunity to become a key figure in Spurs’ attack, while the club views him as a player capable of adding pace, creativity, and unpredictability in the final third.

Tottenham’s recruitment team sees the Brazilian as one of their priority targets as they attempt to avoid another difficult campaign.

Important Summer Ahead For Spurs

After narrowly avoiding relegation, Tottenham know significant improvements are required before the start of the new season.

Adding proven Premier League quality remains a major objective, and Savinho fits the profile of player the club believes can help accelerate their rebuild.

With negotiations continuing and Simons seemingly welcoming the possibility of a reunion, Spurs supporters will be watching developments closely as the transfer window progresses.

For now, the signs suggest Tottenham’s pursuit of Savinho remains very much alive.
