Tottenham are actively seeking to strengthen their attacking options, with a winger and potentially another striker being the primary targets before the transfer window closes on September 1. Manchester City winger Savinho is reportedly a player of interest for Spurs, noted for his direct playing style and ability to penetrate defences.
When considering potential winger signings, De Zerbi highlighted the importance of how a player interacts with the team's full-backs. "Before bringing in a winger, we have to consider the full-back, because we start from the full-back, from the player we already have, no?" he explained. The manager referenced the quality of his current full-backs, including Pedro Porro, Destiny Udogie, and Andy Robertson, as a factor in player selection.
