Tottenham Set January Focus on Left-Side Reinforcements, Will Gauge Savinho Before City Talks

Injury setbacks plus budget questions force a cautious January plan.

Overview

  • Spurs have prioritized signing a left-sided attacker in January and are also targeting a left back, according to briefings to Football.London.
  • Before opening negotiations with Manchester City, Tottenham plan to establish whether Savinho would accept a mid-season move.
  • A deal for Savinho is considered challenging given City’s reluctance to sell and the winger’s new contract signed in October.
  • Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo is viewed as impractical for January, with reporting citing a £65m release clause or lack of interest.
  • Thomas Frank has pledged January activity, although injuries to James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski, a non-ringfenced £100m cash injection, and possible Fabio Paratici exit complicate execution.
