Spurs' Savinho Transfer Hopes Dashed by Injury

Manchester City winger Savinho is facing an extended period on the sidelines after sustaining an injury, likely ruling him out until March. The Brazilian attacker was injured during a recent match, and manager Pep Guardiola confirmed the significant layoff. This setback dashes Tottenham Hotspur's hopes of acquiring Savinho in the January transfer window. Spurs were reportedly keen on the winger after missing out on him last summer.

Savinho's injury comes as a blow to both Manchester City and potential suitors like Tottenham. While City deals with the absence of a key player, Spurs may need to seek alternative transfer targets for their forward line. The north London club has been active in the transfer market following previous sales.

Meanwhile, Manchester City has experienced a recent dip in form, dropping points in three consecutive games. Guardiola expressed frustration over his team's inability to convert chances, stating the issue lies with their energy and finishing. The team's lead at the top of the league could also be impacted by their rivals' results.
