Tottenham Hotspur are actively exploring attacking reinforcements following the departure of long-time star Son Heung-min. With the South Korean captain leaving a major creative and goalscoring void, Spurs are reportedly being offered two high-profile Manchester City players—one rising star and one established name—as potential solutions to their offensive dilemma.
Son’s Departure Leaves a Creative Gap
Tottenham’s summer window has already seen significant movement, with Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus arriving to bolster the frontline. However, Son Heung-min’s decision to join MLS side LAFC after a decade in North London has forced the club into a recalibration of their attacking plans.
Son contributed 11 goals and 12 assists last season across all competitions, numbers that won’t be easy to replicate. Spurs’ management, aware of the need to fill that productivity void, are reportedly entertaining offers for additional firepower.
Savinho Offered to Spurs—A Potential Like-for-Like Replacement
According to TBRFootball, Manchester City winger Savinho has been proposed to Tottenham through intermediaries. The 20-year-old Brazilian is coming off an impressive debut season with City, where he was involved in 16 goals, including contributions in the Club World Cup.
Notably, Savinho recorded 10 Premier League assists last season—matching Son’s tally—making him a logical replacement stylistically. While Spurs are said to “appreciate” Savinho’s profile and would be open to signing him, there’s currently no indication that City are willing to let him leave.
Savinho has come up in conversations and put to Tottenham, at this point, it is not envisaged that he would leave City, but he is a player that Spurs have liked. If he became available, he could be an interesting option.
TBRFootball’s Graeme Bailey noted
Why he’s being offered remains unclear, especially given City’s apparent reluctance to sell and his ongoing development trajectory.
Grealish Also in the Frame Amid Reduced Role at City
While Savinho may be off-limits, another Manchester City winger could be a more realistic target. Jack Grealish, once a marquee signing for City, has seen his playing time significantly diminish. The 29-year-old started just seven league matches last season and was omitted from the Club World Cup squad, suggesting his status under Pep Guardiola is in decline.
Tottenham have emerged as a possible destination for the England international, who is reportedly keen to revive his form and push for a spot in the next World Cup squad. A move to London appeals to Grealish, and Spurs could offer him the platform and minutes he craves.
While Everton are also interested, reports suggest Tottenham are the more attractive option for the winger, both from a competitive and lifestyle perspective.
What’s Next for Tottenham’s Attack?
The departures and arrivals at Tottenham suggest a dynamic rebuild is underway. With Son gone and the club participating in European competitions again, the need for quality depth and proven attacking talent is clear.
While a move for Savinho remains speculative, Grealish represents a more feasible and experienced option. Either way, Spurs are likely to remain active in the transfer market as they aim to maintain momentum and build on their Europa League success.
