Savinho has added fresh fuel to the Tottenham transfer conversation after liking Mateus Fernandes’s Instagram post on Thursday, shortly after Tottenham Hotspur announced the £85million signing.
The Manchester City winger has been linked with a move to Tottenham for some time, and the social-media moment was enough to get fans talking again. Fernandes had just completed his move, and his post — which read, “I’m ready !! I can’t wait to see you all at our stadium. See you soon.” — quickly drew attention, including from Savinho.
Why the reaction matters
It is not a transfer confirmation, but it is the sort of small detail that tends to keep speculation alive. Savinho, a 22-year-old who joined Manchester City from Troyes in 2024, made 24 Premier League appearances for Pep Guardiola’s team last season, although his second campaign at the Etihad Stadium was affected by injury.
That makes him an understandable target for a club looking to sharpen its attacking options, especially with Tottenham making a busy start to the summer transfer window. The Fernandes move was one major statement, and it came on the same day Tottenham were also said to be close to completing the signing of Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United after a £100million deal was agreed.
What comes next
Whether Tottenham move any further on Savinho remains to be seen, but the combination of an active transfer window and a public Instagram like is enough to keep the story moving. For now, the focus stays on Tottenham’s rapid business and on the latest sign that Savinho remains part of the wider conversation.
