Spurs are targeting the 22-year-old this summer to strengthen Roberto De Zerbi's attacking arsenal, with the winger's asking price reported to be somewhere between £65 million and £85 million ($88-$115 million). City are also said to be seeking a replacement before sanctioning his departure to North London. The player is believed to be enthusiastic about the switch to N17, and his absence from training this week under new City boss Maresca fueled considerable speculation that a deal was drawing closer.

"He was not part of the session [on Thursday], he was a little bit ill," said Maresca. "We'll see today, the session is in the afternoon, so we'll see how he is today and we'll decide [whether he is available vs Arsenal]." Tottenham are desperately short of attacking options, with Mohammed Kudus recovering from a long-term injury, Dejan Kulusevski only just returning to training after more than a year on the sidelines, and both Xavi Simons and Wilson Odobert sidelined until the turn of the year with anterior cruciate ligament injuries. De Zerbi was forced to rely on France U21 international Mathys Tel and teenage academy prospects Mikey Moore and Luca Williams-Barnett during the preseason, alongside Manor Solomon, who has since completed a move to West Ham United in a deal valued at £5 million ($6.8 million), with an additional £2 million ($2.7 million) in add-ons and a 10 percent sell-on clause.

De Zerbi is eager for Savinho to be among those additions, with Liverpool's Cody Gakpo and City's Omar Marmoush also on the Italian's radar.
