LONDON, Aug 25 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Tottenham have taken their summer spending spree beyond the £300 million (US$409.4 million) mark after completing the transfer of long-term target Savinho from Manchester City, reported PA Media/dpa.
Spurs failed in efforts to sign the Brazilian winger at the start of last season and the 22-year-old went on to endure a difficult campaign at Etihad Stadium, but he has now completed a move to north London in an £85 million (US$115.9 million) package, the Press Association understands.
An initial fee of £75 million (US$102.3 million) plus £10 million (US$13.6 million) in add-ons has secured the services of Savinho, who has been on Tottenham’s wish list for more than 12 months and quickly emerged as a key target for Roberto De Zerbi too following his arrival in March.
“It’s taken a while but I’m very happy to be here,” Savinho told the club’s website.
“It’s a wonderful opportunity at a brilliant club with one of the best managers in the world.
“As soon as I spoke to the head coach I knew I had to come. He told me he wants to help me reach the highest level, and I believe we can do that together, as a team.”
