Tottenham have instigated talks over a move for Savinho, but have been told Man City are reluctant to sanction a transfer, sources have told ESPN.

And yet on the eve of the new Premier League season City are fielding interest from Tottenham in the 21-year-old with the Blues seeking a fee of more than £50million to consider selling a player they only signed a year ago.

Tottenham are in talks with Manchester City over a move to sign Brazil winger Savinho. Discussions have been held between the two clubs in recent days over a possible deal for the 21-year-old. Negotiations are at an early stage and it remains to be seen whether City will sanction a move for the Brazil international.
