Savinho completes permanent move to Tottenham Hotspur

Savinho leaves Manchester City after two seasons at the Etihad, making 84 appearances and scoring seven goals before completing a permanent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.

Savinho has completed a permanent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.

The Brazilian winger leaves the Etihad Stadium after two seasons with City, during which he made 84 appearances and scored seven goals.

After joining from CFG sister club Troyes following an impressive loan spell with Girona, Savinho made his City debut in the Community Shield penalty shootout victory over Manchester United in August 2024.

His first goal came in the December victory over Leicester City, followed by further strikes against Club Brugge in the Champions League and Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup.

The winger scored four goals in his following campaign, opening his account in September 2025’s 2-0 Carabao Cup win at Huddersfield before scoring the decisive second goal in a 2-0 home Premier League victory over Brentford just before Christmas.

His composed finish at Newcastle helped City advance in the FA Cup in March 2026, before he scored the third goal in a 3-0 Etihad win over Crystal Palace in May 2026.

“I’d like to thank everyone at Manchester City,” he said. “My teammates, the staff, the fans… all of them were brilliant with me. I am a better player and a better person having spent time at City.

“As soon as I joined City, I knew what a top club it was. They provide players with so much support and make sure they continue to improve. I will always be grateful to them for that.

“I enjoyed my time there immensely, especially winning the FA Cup and Carabao Cup last season — moments I will treasure.

“I learned a lot while at City and it was an honour to play alongside my brilliant teammates.

“I wish City the very best for the future.”

Director of Football Hugo Viana added: “Savinho has been a big part of our last two seasons, including the silverware we won last year.

“He arrived in Manchester as a 20-year-old with limited senior experience and leaves as an FA Cup and Carabao Cup winner, with lots of Premier League and Champions League games under his belt.

“Everyone at City would like to place on record our thanks to Savinho for all his efforts during his time with us, and we wish him the very best with his move to Spurs.”

Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Savinho all the best for the rest of his career.
