It's back to square one for Tottenham after multiple reports outlining their failure to land Savio from Manchester City . The midfielder had been in their sights for weeks, but despite talks taking place over a potential transfer, the move never materialised and it looks like they will need to move onto fresh targets. He'll remain with his current club for the time being - unless an improved bid is made. The proposed transfer is no longer on the table, and with no competing interest, the player is expected to stay where he is. So far this season, Tottenham are steady at both ends (1.83 goals scored per game, 0.67 goals conceded per game). The role for Savio would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Manchester City have also been linked with Warren Zaire-Emery, Nathaniel Brown and Kobbie Mainoo while Tottenham are reportedly monitoring Georges Mikautadze, Pascal Struijk and Adam Wharton.
